Review: Riveting And Sexy
Rating: 5 out of 5

I'm not quite sure why so many others didn't like this book.  It was one of the most riveting page turners I've ripped through in a long time. I guess those who are a bit prudish about detailed sex episodes may be put off by this book.  However, that is only a portion of this exciting story with its wonderful characters.  For once an investigative work of fiction doesn't revolve around a murder, but a disappearance, where the victim is still very much alive.  I found the back story of a woman who heads up a spousal abuse rescue program very enlightening and the cast of well developed characters built around this group make for a very entertaining read also. The developing hot romance between the two main protagonists really adds some spice to an already great page turner. The description of the mountain location resort area during the Fall season with its colorful foliage also was a great addition to the story.  This is one of those books that once I started it, I couldn't put it down and finished in record time.  I hope to read more books by Valerie Douglas in the future.
