First Carla Neggers...starting second one tonight...a summer of new authors for me. :) ( )

This was no Nora Roberts or Sandra Brown romantic suspense, but it wasn’t all bad. I liked Annie Payne, and could connect with her tough New England pragmatism (being from Maine myself). I also appreciated the contrast between her old life and her new. Garvin wasn’t a bad leading male, though for the entire book I wanted his name to be Gavin. Unfortunately, the fire between them just wasn’t there. Their initial attractions to each other were well written, but there was no growth and no heat to their later meetings. The mystery wasn’t all that complex — I figured out the bad guy rather easily. There’s actually a pretty limited cast of characters to choose from. So, not my favorite, but good enough that I’ll read another by the author. ( )
