I loved reading, "Ambient Light," a not so cozy, but not too steamy suspenseful romance. I fell in love with the main characters, Angel and Jason, and sweet sidekick, David. Angel is a very strong, compassionate character, who feels realistic and like someone I'd like to have as a friend. Jason is a strong, masculine, hero, but he doesn't overshadow Angel, who has plenty of her own strength and power. Together they make for some electric reading.The mystery is a suspense tale, very involving and very suspenseful. I read it all in one sitting, just couldn't put it down.The romantic parts are very well done, not sweet, but not erotic either. I felt it achieved a nice balance in between getting you into the moment without being graphic. They were very well done, as well as serving a purpose in the story. Sometimes when I read a mystery it feels like the sex scenes are just thrown in to have sex, and it makes the story feel disjointed. With "Ambient Light" it all feels quite organic to the story and natural.The violence was also well done. Not too graphic, believable emotions, the police are great - and the vile villain, as much as I hated his scummy person and looked forward to him getting his comeuppance, also felt believable. Pretty scary if you stop to think about it.To sum up this was a very well written story, I would recommend Lorraine Adair to all lovers of romantic suspense and gritty crime novels.
