A Strong Suspense Read Without Pretty Characters!!!,
By
This review is from: Blind Curve (Warner Forever) (Mass Market Paperback)
Ms. Solomon has penned a story that has been a long time in coming. Neither main character is perfect. Our hero Danny is blind, and our heroine Martha is homely. Together they find a way to deal with what life has given them and at the same time find love. This is not to say that this is easy...it's not, but they deal with what life deals them and come out in the end better.
Danny has not had an easy life. He watched his mother work herself into an early grave. He made a promise the day they scattered her ashs that he would take care of his younger sister Beth. He has done just that but when a police bust goes bad Danny receives an injury that does not appear right away but when it does his whole life will change. Days later he is in the middle of another deal when the lights go out. He can see nothing. Danny who is a cop and needs to see in order to do his job is now blind and the doctors tell him that in all probablity he won't see ever again. He now must re-learn everything from dressing to eating. Martha is going to help him learn provided he tries. He is not willing to give up yet. This is only a temporary thing it has to be. Martha went to school with the beautiful Danny. He is drop dead gorgeous and would not give her a second thought if he could see her. Well, he can't and she has a job to do. Teach him how to be self sufficient. While at his house teaching how to get around an intruder comes and attacks Danny. Martha is injured and now the two are on the run. Someone wants Martha and Danny dead but who? Is this from one of Danny's old cases or is it a new case. While on the run they are both dependant on the other. Danny teaches Martha that physical looks although importanat are not the only way a person can fall in love. Marthat teaches Danny that even though you may like to stand on your own two feet, it's not a bad thing to need help. Can they stay one step ahead of a killer to realize a happy ending? This was a very good book which did not rely on beautiful people to tell the tale. As a result Danny and Martha are two characters that readers can relate to. The story line was a fast paced one with a fair amount of description regarding the changes that Danny had to make in order to function, as well as the suspense storyline on who was trying to kill them and why. Ms. Solomon's descriptive way of writing showed us how frustrating Danny's situation was and as a result this was one of my favorite parts of the story. I could see and feel his struggle and frustration. This was truly a very good book and I look forward to reading her back list. Ms. Soloman is an author I have no problem recommending.

A book to enjoy and learn from,
This review is from: Blind Curve (Warner Forever) (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book because the plot sketch on the back cover sounded different and interesting. I was not disappointed. This story throws a curve to readers of romantic intrigue by introducing a compelling true life drama: the pain and struggle of someone suddenly faced with blindness. It's clear the author did her research because she authentically portrays the scope of the tradegy as well as the path to recovery -- not of sight, but of life, of independence in a world gone dark. I also was impressed by the detail and authenticity of the police procedural elements of the story. Solomon seems to know enough about how cops work and talk to make her characters believable. I've given the book 4 stars because I thought the ending was a little too pat (could she really get over all the pain of his abandonment in the span of just one conversation?!), and because I thought the father's sudden interest in his daughter was never explained -- seemed a little too out-of-the-blue to ring true.
Imperfect or not, I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys real suspense, a tension-filled romance, and who likes to broaden their perspective by learning something new.

A real life story and a keeper,
By stacey renee (rochester new york) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blind Curve (Warner Forever) (Mass Market Paperback)
I've never read annie solomon's books before as I am not a fan of contemporary writing. But this back cover blurb really drew me to this book. And it lives up to every expectation. It is well written and fast paced. The characters have depth that makes them touchable. It's always a bit tough to have the hero prettier than the heroine but we can't all be gorgeous! These 2 characters show over and over how to make lemonade out of lemons and what is most important in life......It is just excellent and I highly recommend it!
