These two finding each other years after summer camp was amazing too. So happy I read this. Sex was great and this was a wonderfully RECOMMENDed read.

Set in the 1950's of Cannes Film Festival, I was thrilled these people were names I knew: Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn to name just two. This sSet in the 1950's of Cannes Film Festival, I was thrilled these people were names I knew: Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn to name just two. This set the scenery so well for me! I felt I was back in time with the jewel heist just having happened. It was a bit of a hoot (to me!) the thief suspected is named The Leopard as I thought of The Pink Panther as I read this. (Too serious a book for that nonsense though!) I was very aware of the ups/downs while reading this book and though my reading was slow- my Life got in the way- I'd definitely recommend this book. Especially if you like strong females in a lead role. As a jewelry designer in the 50's, Ms. Thorpe was a leader, I feel. True, it's just fiction but it had to start somewhere, hmm?

These two men are wonderful together. Though not actually working together anymore they're right down the hall. We learn more about the team (specifically that Merisi is damn intelligent) and their interactions. Both cases were interesting, too. [Can be read as a standalone but the previous books are great too.]...more

Although it's early in their relationship, this book made me question their relationship's resilience more than the others. This had a lot to do with Although it's early in their relationship, this book made me question their relationship's resilience more than the others. This had a lot to do with the re-introduction of Billy and all his BS: I wanted to smack him! (Or at least run him over a few times.) I like reading about Hazard's client Mitchell and was happy he's doing better. Continuing the Keeper story if only as a side issue is making this reader feeling 'kept in the loop' AND wanting to read more/who-is-it? Recommended! ...more

Well, long-distance for sure, a single father, crazy work/rest hours but I couldn't care less about the paparazzi which gave the single dad, Blake, fits. Maybe I didn't get it but it just seemed like a true suck-it-up moment. It just felt tepid to me: meh. (I like drama which this lacked.)...more
