Customer Reviews

A MUST READ!

This book is wonderful. Like many of the reviewers, I usually am more annoyed then anything with kids in books especially talking baby talk. But this little girl is so cleverly portrayed. What makes her special is her constant defense of Elvis the hero in the story. He is badly scarred and disfigured but she will defend him to the end because he is handsome to her. The characters are great and so likeable. I like Emma who is strong and stands up for herself. I like the little girl which surprised me. The romance is great. The suspense doesn't really heat up til the end but when it does...look out! I was so into it I wished I could jump in the book and join in the fight! It's a rare book that gets you so involved. I highly recommend this book. It's a keeper.

WONDERFUL!

I bought my first Susan Andersen book after I saw the cover (Be My Baby). I am so glad I "judged a book by its cover"! Now I am addicted to her books which have all been super. I love the craziness and sexiness of the plots/characters. As usual, I neglected my children for the three days it took to finish Exposure. While I'm swinging them with my right hand, I have her book in my left. SUSAN - PLEASE DON'T STOP WRITING SUCH WITTY WONDERFUL BOOKS! P.S. I have turned my two sisters on to your books and they read them while on the train going to and from work in Downtown Chicago and find themselves embarassed from laughing out loud unexpectedly.

Love among an unlikely pair

After finding disturbing tapes in the office of the man she loved as her father Emma Sands takes her darling three year old daughter and flees New Orleans. Where they end up is almost like a world away.When Emma accidentally gets off on the wrong island in Washington State's beautiful San Juan Islands she plans to just get her car fixed and take off again. But things don't always go as planned. After an argument with the car mechanic Emma finds herself agreeing to rent a room at a boarding house for one week. That is all she planned to stay. After Sherriff Elvis Donnelly lost his hand and scarred his face in a Seattle car bombing, he returns to Port Flannery, Washington to become sherriff. Always considered the bad kid in town, Elvis has a hard time finding acceptance. When he first sees Emma he is instantly attracted.Emma and Elvis's relationship start out on the wrong foot almost immediately and the two clash. Elvis is immediately suspicious that she is running from someone or something. When an incident with his own mother confirms his thoughts he refuses to allow Emma to leave town. Emma and Elvis fall in love and when the man Emma is fleeing from finally finds her Elvis vows to protect Emma and her daughter Gracie. I truly enjoyed Emma and Elvis's story and I think you will too. Set just miles from my own hometown I could tell that Susan Andersen definetly does her research. The Pacific Northwest IS a beautiful place to visit, especially in the summertime when the days last until after 9 p.m. Susan Andersen made me yearn for another Pacific Northwest summer and a trip to the islands.

Exposure is a great romantic suspense!

On the run from her past, Emma and daughter Gracie, stop in Port Flannery, Washington. Emma meets Sheriff Elvis Donnelly. The attraction between physically-flawed Elvis, and practically-perfect Emma is what makes this book so good. Emma's a truly strong heroine; and, Elvis is less confident in himself, than most heros in the romantic suspense genre. When Emma's past catches up with her, Elvis becomes Emma's and Gracie's protector. Little surprizes occur, that keep the suspense and action moving. This is an excellent book. And while not as dark as Ms. Andersen's earliest books (Obsession, Present Danger, Shadow Dance), it's nothing like either of her "Baby" books. Humor is very subtle.

Great romantic suspense! Refreshingly different!

EXPOSURE is the first Susan Andersen title I've read, and I'm coming back for more! I've long been a fan of romantic suspense, and EXPOSURE is very satisfying on many levels. The plot line isn't terribly innovative, but the execution is terrific! The characterizations are refreshingly different, even a little offbeat. The dialogue is wonderful, realistic and advances the story line without being forced. The sexually related encounters are fun, poignant, and ring true. All in all, this novel has just made my Top Ten list.
