The very best part of being a reviewer is when a favorite author sends me a copy of their new book.  In the past, I read Nash's novellaThe Trunk Key (Kindle Single)and thought it was outstanding. I readLove is Strong as Deathand enjoyed it immensely.So I got the copy of "Phoenix Heart" and started reading it right away (I'm not one to delay gratification). I ended up staying up all night finishing it - it's that good.Carolyn Nash has quite a knack for bringing her characters to life and involving the reader in their lives from page one.  Nash brings us Melanie Brenner, poor grad student who just won a dream vacation to San Francisco, and Dr. Andrew Richards, rich professor/scientist - who find themselves on the run and in life-and-death situations in academia land.1. Science2. Intrigue3. Dastardly deeds4. Dangers5. Two people in an untenable situation finding ROMANCE6. Friends7. Family8. The long lasting psychological effects of child abuseand9. Redemption - all bound together in one action-packed fun read.Oh, and I want a San Francisco apartment like the one described in the book. It sounds heavenly.
