Nail-Biting Suspense Mixes With Sensuous Romance

Elizabeth Adler is one of those wonderful authors whose books always satisfy me. SOONER OR LATER falls into her group of romantic suspense novels that feature a strong female lead, a dashing cop (in this case, newly retired and having purchased a California vineyard) and a psychopathic killer obsessed with the female. What could be trite in the hands of a lesser writer becomes engrossing and spellbinding with Adler thanks to clever plotting, interesting back story on the characters, and likeable supporting characters. Ellie Duveen is a chef, trained in France, and owner of a charming French cafe where she cooks, waits tables, keeps the books, does whatever needed to become highly successful. When our fiercely independent heroine crosses paths with the retired New York cop who has moved to California to start a wine-making business, the sparks are electric. But can two people from such different worlds connect? Will the city girl be able to find happiness with a man who has had enough of city life and only wants the quiet and solitude of his vineyard? You bet, and the predictable path to romance makes for a highly enjoyable read. A psycho from the past, grisly murders, long-buried memories, a doting grandmother, and exquisite French cooking make this a most enjoyable novel that will not only have you on the edge of your seat with suspense but reveling in the romance as well.

SUPER GREAT READ

This book was fabulous!! I couldn't put it down. If you start this book, make sure you give yourself plenty of time, because I read it in almost one sitting. I love Elizabeth Adler, she writes a super romantic suspense!! I couldn't stop rooting for Ellie and Dan. READ THIS BOOK!!

good book

This is the first book I read by Adler. It was very thrilling and breath-taking. The characters are very realistic. This book got me hooked on her other books also.

Great book !

I thought this book was wonderful. I finished it in 2 days. Could not put it down. I really wanted to know these characters. This was my first book by Adler. I will be looking for more. For anyone looking for a great mystery-this is the book for you.

It was fantastic!!

This book is great. I couldn't pass a day without wondering what would happen next. i didn't know if Buck would kill Ellie and I didn't know if Ellie would finally get in a real relationship with Daniel. Anyways this is the greatest book I ever read.
