Superb Plot Writer

This book is not an example of "literary fiction", but it is an excellent example of original first-rate escapist "commercial fiction" at its best. A delicious read. If you like a really good, fast-paced, unpredictable, well-devised, gripping, and easily readable story which has good plot twists, sexy seduction and a double-homicide to boot, this book is for you. I couldn't put it down and read it in one evening. I just had to know how the story would unravel. Many surprises. And I must say the sex scenes sizzled. The main characters were well-drawn and intriguing, doing and saying just what I would expect them to. These are people we only see on TV. And some of us dream we are them. Without wanting to give too much away, I like how Nouri's rich wicked husband's "hidden skeletons" come to light, and the events it puts in spin. This book has all the elements to appeal to both the "soaps" crowd AND to readers of mystery, suspense, and general fiction. Nouri is a great character. I could see this book as a made-for-TV movie. When I read a novel, dialogue is my favorite thing, and the dialogue in this book hits the right notes and is a pleasure to read. I read somewhere that Murray's publisher will be re-editing her books to take out the typo's and other errors, so I hope her few harsh critics and denigrators will take solace in that at least! The vast majority of us just love her stories and want more!!

Dynasty on Speed

This is what the super rich do when they arn't doing business and arn't in control of their jealosy, greed, morals, and self endulgances. All making for characters so interesting in their dialogue and thinking that you feel like the characters should be named Burton, Taylor, Sinatra, and Gardner. Just think of them when you wonder if this book's characters are too outrageous and out of control to be believed. When money is no object the id has the freedom to take over, as it has done with these characters, making them so intense in their actions the page turning becomes almost hynotic. Victoria Taylor Murray has really gotten into the minds of her characters and with the author's beautiful face gracing the back cover,you feel like maybe you're reading excerpts from her fantasy diary, making everything in the book more urgent and realistic while mentally casting her in the part of the lead character. For those who like erotic thrillers with bite this is the one.

Entertaining, Engrossing Read!

"Thief of Hearts," by Victoria Taylor Murray is one book you won't want to miss. A friend recommended this one to me, and I didn't want to put it down until I was finished, it was that good. The characters are wonderfully written, the dialogue carries you along, the romance is hot, and the suspense keeps you involved. Excellent book. Am anxiously anticipating the second in this series.
