fun fun read

How many years has Ruth Glick been writing as Rebecca York doing the 43 Light St. series for Harlequin Intrigue? They have been the backbone of the series and she just keeps them coming. This one is a nifty little, fun tale. Max Dakota has a murder investigation going and it's at a crucial point. Max is a bit weary, a spy-turned-detective, he's seen it all, heard every story. Until she came crashing into his life. The beautiful blond plunged into his world - literally - off a Florida bridge. He can blow his investigation, and hope for the best - the blonde knows how to do the dog paddle - or he can play knight in shining - well tarnished - armour and go fetch the dame. Naturally, Max rescues the woman. What else is a wise-cracking gumshoe supposed to do? There is a code about these things! He dubs her "Annie" because when she comes around, she cannot recall who she is. One thing Max quickly decides, despite his knight routine, she is no damsel fainting in distress. She picks locks, shoots guns and her hands are likely registered as a lethal weapon - though Max quickly decides "lethal" in more ways than one! Despite not trusting her any farther than he can throw her, he decides, name or no name, she gets under his skin and he wants the aggravating, sexy lass with a passion! It's a fun read, showing York still has the magic.

Out oNowhere

Oh Yeah ! I anything remotely connected to 43 Light Street. OUT OF NOWHERE is different--good different. I like Max-so macho, so patient. Annie is so heroic, so confused, so her own woman. So-what is Annie's real name ? Which is irrelevant. Annie Oakland is her 'real' name. Jill

OUT OF NOWHERE grabs you and never lets go!

I couldn't put this book down. In Out Of Nowhere, Rebecca York interweaves romance and suspense with a mastery that is seamless. If you're looking for a story that will keep you turning the pages, a hero and heroine you want to succeed, and a romance that beats the odds, this one is sure to please. From the moment Annie, the heroine, falls from the sky, until the climactic finale, Out Of Nowhere will keep you hooked!

Out of Nowhere

York had me turning pages right from the start. The suspense in this book never lets up. And these are characters I want to believe in and keep pulling for to the very last pages. This is the perfect book for a rainy-day Spring reading spree...or any time you want to add a little excitement to your life. Enjoy!

York's done it again!

Rebecca York never fails to deliver at weaving romance, suspense and the unexpected between the pages of her books. She's done it again in OUT OF NOWHERE. Max Dakota is on the job, his years as an agent making him feel he has seen it all, until a diminutive blonde enigma appears quite literally out of thin air at the worst possible time. Her inexplicable plunge off a bridge into dark murky waters forces Max to make a decision: stick to the plan that's been months in the making and hope the woman knows how to swim, or try to rescue her and risk blowing a murder investigation that has reached a critical juncture. Max's choice is no mystery but the woman whose life he saves most certainly is. Her memory is gone, but her talents with locks, weapons and hand-to-hand combat are not. Max has every reason to doubt Annie, his name for her since she claims not to know her own. And it is clear she has come on a mission of her own, unfortunate since she can't remember what that is either. Given the timing of her appearance on the scene, Max is more than justified in suspecting Annie's motives. Lives depend on his ending the illegal activity he's been tracking. And for someone with no memory and no past, Annie seems to know more than she should. Therein is the conflict and the mystery. As for the romance, the bolt of lightning during which Annie appears never dissipates. It crackles between Max and Annie even as each suspects the other of treachery. They are appealing characters, worthy opponents, a dynamic no-holds barred romantic hero and heroine. Be prepared for an utterly satisfying read.
