I have read most of the 'witness' thriller/mysteries by Rebecca Forstner and found them great.  This is the genre I think she excels in and if Golden Threads is typical of her expertise in Contemporary Romance, I think she should stick with the thrillers.  Threads was rather sophomoric, dialogue contrived and dramatic, and there were endless descriptions of details.  The main character was self- centered with no insight into her selfishness and I was really bored by the repetitions of her extraordinary beauty-- the cliche heroine who has no idea how beautiful she is, of course.  The worst part for me was: readers are given to believe a really kind and giving person is transformed so drastically into a totally self absorbed and uncaring opposite --by success -- and in a single event changes her back again.  That seldom happens in real life.  It's like a moment-of-truth movie, book form; and sappy.
