A Romantic Times magazine critic gave the book a rather lukewarm review because whodunnit was somewhat predictable... but who cares??? Ms. Dawson writes with confidence & a strong voice, and has created well-motivated characters who feel, to me, like authentic people (it's amazing how many category romances are published in which the characters simply didn't read as real). But then great voice & strong characterization always carry more weight with me than tight plotting. I'm not a huge mystery fan... I can never figure out whodunnit, so I don't mind if whodunnit is clear early on, as it may be for some hard-core mystery fans. It was a very enjoyable read with well-developed sexual tension, a hero to die for, and a heroine I could admire for her intelligence, strength, competence, & independence.
