Plot seemed underdeveloped and the heroine wasn't willing to compromise on anything. ( ) Molto bello, mi è piaciuto moltissimo e due protagonisti perfettamente caratterizzati - Phoebe, tenente della polizia di Savannah e negoziatrice nei casi di sequestro e Duncan, un ricco imprenditore molto fortunato – che mi hanno letteralmente conquistato. Una storia ricca di suspense e sentimenti e dove anche i personaggi secondari riescono ad imporsi all’attenzione per la loro varietà , un altro romanzo della Roberts che colpisce nel segno. Decent Nora Roberts. Kept me reading and as long as we're reading escapist fiction why not a handsome hero who cashed in big in the lottery? I enjoyed the job the heroine had and her slightly eccentric woman heavy family. I enjoyed reading about Savannah since I have fond vacation memories of there. In addition there is a pretty decent made for TV movie based on this book. We're not talking Emmys here but it sure beat watching Swamp People or Cops. Thoroughly enjoyable romantic suspense filled with a wonderful cast of characters. Heroine Phoebe MacNamara is a single mother to seven-year-old Carly and she’s a top hostage negotiator. I liked that she’s a very strong heroine, has a very interesting profession, and I liked how she really held her family together. Her mother Essie is agoraphobic and never leaves the house. Essie is still traumatized by a break-in from years ago where an ex-boyfriend held her and her two children hostage for hours, an event that also set the path for Phoebe's career choice. Duncan Swift was such a fabulous hero. He won millions on the lottery and he owns a number of sports bars, and is working on other business ventures. He was such an all-around good guy, and I loved how he really took to Phoebe’s family. He was so kind, caring, and considerate towards them, and really made everyone feel special. The Savannah, Georgia, setting and the house where Phoebe lived with her family really added to the atmosphere with vivid descriptions. Add to that, lots of edge-of-your-seat suspense and this made for an extremely entertaining and captivating read. no reviews | add a review

HTML:Phenomenal #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a spine-tingling novel about a female cop who walks fearlessly into danger—but must draw on her courage to let love into her life. Police Lieutenant Phoebe MacNamara found her calling at an early age when a violently unstable man broke into her family’s home, trapping and terrorizing them for hours. Now she’s Savannah’s top hostage negotiator, who puts her life on the line every day to diffuse powder-keg situations. After watching her talk one of his employees off a roof ledge, Duncan Swift is committed to keeping this intriguing, take-charge woman in his life. Phoebe’s used to working solo, but she’s finding that no amount of negotiation can keep Duncan at arm’s length. Especially when a man throws a hood over Phoebe’s head and brutally assaults her—in her own precinct house—and threatening messages begin appearing on her doorstep. Duncan backs her up every step of the way, as she establishes contact with the faceless tormentor who is determined to make her a hostage to fear—before she becomes the final showdown.
