Demon Rumm

Sandra Brown's books, at least the ones I have read, are hits and misses. This one, unfortunately, is a huge miss. Though it was written as a light romance novel, and I like Brown's style of writing, I found the story itself to be extremely lacking. I felt that the ending was wrapped up too fast, especially with learning what happened to Demon Rumm. I was more interested in what happened to him than the romance between the two main characters.

I like bodice rippers and enjoyed the hot wetness etc. Really fun way to spend an afternoon. Sandra Brown has written some very exciting mystery filled books, which only shows she has a tremendous writing talent. May I recommend "The Switch" or "Chill Factor". Not every book has to make a political statement or be a Pulitzer. This is a chick book, deal with it.

I considered throwing this book at the wall, but the wall hadn't done anything to deserve that.

Kirsten Rumm's flamboyantly heroic husband is dead. His life story is being filmed. Still tormented by his death, Kirsten's struggling with the screenplay - and now the lead actor wants to come stay with her to, he says, learn the man behind the hero. Rylan North is a man who knows what he wants - and goes after it. But can he convince Kirsten that he's after more than a character... that his real goal is her heart?

Soppy drivel.

Demon Rumm (Loveswept, #197) by Sandra Brown
Kristin Rumm is writing a book about her husbands life and his work.
There is a movie that is coming out about it with Ryan North playing the major role. He moves into her beachfront house so he can get a feel for the hero.
He finds himself very attracted to her an she leans into him as well...
He agrees to do the stunt himself, the crash that had ended her husbands life. Something doesn't go just right and his gloves are smoldering and he's on his way to the hospital...
He had cuddled her the night before when she cried out because of the nightmare of when her husband had died. She keeps reliving it and now she delivered the script changes to the set and saw the crash again for herself.
She still show more has questions about the original crash and is able to visit the airport and ask those who were on duty more questions to help ease her mind..and they are able to reenact his time at home prior to the crash..
Hot steamy sex scenes and I especially liked the house layout-the dining room specifically where it hangs over the cliff with 3 walls open to the ocean scene below. show less

Typical early contemporary Brown. The characters make or break her books.

Modern day bodice ripper. Widow fights her lusty feelings for handsome movie star playing the role of her late husband.
