Book Reviews of Flirting With Danger
Book Review: 3 ½ stars. Enjoyable light romantic mystery caper. Fun dialogue, but weak on the emotional pull.
Summary: 3 Stars
STORY BRIEF:
Samantha (Sam) is a cat burglar thief for hire, one of the best. She is hired to steal an antique tablet from the Florida home of British millionaire Richard. While there she discovers a trip wire set by someone else. A guard trips over it setting off an explosion which kills him. Sam knocks Richard out of the way saving his life. Sam and Richard then form an uneasy alliance to help each other. Sam wants Richard to tell the cops that "the female burglar he saw" was not responsible for the bomb/murder. She doesn't mind the cops being after her as a thief, but she doesn't want them after her for murder. Sam tells Richard she knows people "in the business" who can help solve the mystery more easily than the cops.
REVIEWER'S OPINION:
This is entertaining. Good dialogue. Good lines. Some chuckling. Interesting characters with interesting interaction. He's used to the press following and taking his picture. Her goals are never be photographed and never be seen. Yet to her horror, she is photographed when with him. She is suspicious of people he's not suspicious of. They think differently. It's fun seeing their interaction. I prefer romance stories where the couple is together at the end forever. This does not do that, but the couple is together in good ways. There is romance and sex. They just don't make it legal. It's still rewarding and fulfilling. There are sequels which continue their relationship.
This was labeled romantic suspense, but I didn't feel much suspense. It was more mystery than suspense. Sure, some bad things happen, but it didn't feel suspenseful. The sex scenes are not emotionally charged or super hot, but they are ok and fit the style of writing. The author has a good writing style. The focus of the book is the mystery/plot. But the plot felt formulaic - not really creatively different. I want romance novels to pull me emotionally out of my life or entertain me with humor, and that was not the effect here. Therefore I'm not hot to trot out and buy the sequels.
The ending was vague and incomplete as to the plot. I didn't understand how three different bad guys fit together. I wanted to know more about their motives and how and what they did. I wanted more details and motives about the multiple murders. I also wanted more details about what happened to the bad guys at the end.
