I don't really like alot of her books, but this series is really good.
This book is a definitely a page turner, like other novels by the same author. I loved it when I was reading it, but afterwards, it felt like a guilty indulgence. The plot and the built-up suspense is all a product of a magnificent recipe that Dan Brown has used before in other books. Not a challenging or thought-provoking book, but still enjoyable as a commuter-rail/beach-side/long-weekend companion.

Pink Boots and a Machete is completely up my alley. During my time reading about Mireya Mayor's life in the jungle, I lived vicariously through her words (glad I didn't have to deal with the bugs). I enjoyed the writing style and the manner in which animal factiods were woven into the story. I would love to see her work with Nat Geo.
this is the best biography on katherine hepburn out there. she became friends with the author before he became her biographer so there is a much more personal feel to the book than most biographies. i enjoyed every minute of this book.

Heathcliff, I think I love you but I'm married! Catherine, I'm sure I love you but you're married and I'm a coward! Mr. Lockwood-- wait, you're Nelly now!-- why is everyone dying of consumption and ghosts and being morons? There, that's the book. Save yourself the turmoil and suffering you go through if you read it. It's a bad romance novel (and that's saying something) with no romance. And, uh, what's with having 2 narrators, one 20 years after the story takes place, who have a third hand account of the charcters? Just bad story telling. No wonder you used a pseudonym, Emily. Worst. Book. Ever.
fascinating look at how it all might actually work. readable, not too poli-sci-ish.

I am a little bit late with my review of Under Fire by Rita Henuber. Work has been a bit crazy and with other obligations taking up my precious reading time, I have been a bit swamped so to speak. But I am a girl who always believes in the "better late than never" adage and though my review is a trifle bit late in coming, it comes with all good tidings and recommendations for fans of the genre to give this one a try! Rico Cortes is a DEA agent who has been working deep undercover in the midst of Miami's drug world. With a past that has put him on a course to do his bit to rid his country of drugs, Rico is at the verge of wondering who the real Rico is as his job pulls him deeper into a world filled with treachery and deceit. Coast Guard Lt. Commander Olivia Carver is one determined woman, whose twin brother Danny was murdered whilst working undercover in the Miami drug scene. Her vow to avenge the death of her twin is one that constantly rings through her very soul and the only thing that stops her from quitting her job to embark on a full fledged search for the killer is the fact that her position brings her intel that she otherwise would not have access to. When Olivia and Rico's worlds collide, a meeting machinated by Rico in order to throw Olivia off the course of Rico's investigation, the one thing neither counts on is the volatile sexual need that practically wipes every other thought from their minds. A one night stand that leaves both wanting more takes a darker turn when Rico is forced to make use of Olivia in their joint quest to bring their mutual enemy to justice - or wipe him off the face of the Earth once and for all! Under Fire is an appropriate title for a book which is filled with action of the heart pounding variety that never lets up. The constant kick-ass action that is always a part of this story held my undivided attention as I sped through the pages. With a thrilling chase that kickstarts the story sets the tone for the whole novel as Olivia and Rico pulls out all the stops to lure one of the worst drug lords in their country to his ultimate demise. I loved the fact that Rita Henuber doesn't pull any punches and delivered that realistic edge to the action, not doing a complete 360 degree turnabout at the end where forgiveness and doing the right thing takes precedence over the goal that had been set at the beginning. The passion that ignites between Olivia and Rico is one to be savored in the story. Though the scenes aren't explicitly detailed each and every single time, Rita does know how to keep the adrenaline pumping with the constant arcs of awareness that leaps forth between Olivia and Rico. I loved the heat and sultriness of the first encounter between them and I've just got one word for Rico - HOT! For me, though Olivia tended to be the centrepoint of the story as it unfolded, Rico's character turned out to be the most endearing one. His painful past when it comes to light made me want to wrap my arms around him and never let go. As the shades of his undercover persona is left behind bit by bit, there emerges a man that wants above all to do the right thing and to find that one person in the world who would love him completely, his darkness and all. Olivia makes for one kick-ass chick, whose sheer determination to find her twin brother's killer obliterates everything else in her life - even her burgoening feelings towards Rico. I think it was because of that reason that I couldn't completely warm up to Olivia's character towards the end though she makes you want to learn one of those few dangerous manueuvers of your own to dish out every now and then. The humor that is so intrisically woven together in a story that practically vibrates with adrenaline overload turned out to be one of the reasons I kept coming back for more of Olivia and Rico. I kept going LOL even during those tense moments fraught with either danger or sexual tension that just somehow seemed to fit right in making this romantic suspense a well balanced one. One of my peeves with the book turned out to be how things ended in the story. I was clamoring so bad for an epilogue that would depict Olivia and Rico as a couple, maybe a couple of years in the future, both settled in and adjusting to life at a different pace than the ones they have led up till and throughout the story. The way how things ended is the only reason that prevented me from giving this one a whopping 5-stars though Under Fire still makes for an awesome read! Recommended for those who love their heroines to be of the kick-ass variety, their heroes to be ultra sexy and for the story to practically burst at the seams from the continuous stream of non-stop action! My quotes are included below my review! Rating=4/5 Original review posted on MBR's Realm of Romance
I enjoyed this book, but again, my disclaimer is that I have a relentless love and nostalgia for Venezia! As the reviewers say, it's very difficult to read this book without buying plane tickets to Italy. Great descriptions of the the city and quirky Venetian characters, but sometimes reading about rich socialites can become dull. The story centers around controversy surrounding the burning of the Fenice opera house, which is somewhat interesting, but the highlights of this book are the wonderful images of Venice and Italians that are conjured.

Another great mystery by Ironside. I didn't think the plot was as tight as "Death in the Garden" but I did enjoy how much time she spent on her characters and solving the mystery/murder. Looking forward to reading another one!
I thought the book was just okay....It actually seemed alot better though after I saw the horrible movie....lol.
