4.0 out of 5 stars Intrigue, love, and murder, October 10, 2003

By

This review is from: The Brass Ring (Paperback)

are the main elements of Mavis Applewaters's debut novel.
CC Calloway, a brash, beautiful cop with a scarred soul deserted Jamie Jameson twelve years ago. Or did she?
Mavis does a wonderful job of unfolding the story after a first chapter which makes CC appear almost too callous. Emotions run high.
Sexual tension also runs high in this story even after CC and Jamie make love. There are several well-written love scenes. The two are a well-matched pair in a well-crafted story.
Their hot/cold treatment of each other is easily understood as is their growing relationship. CC and Jamie have reason to be together. The mystery is a good one, just eerie enough to make you keep reading. Each murder brings new clues and new facets to their relationship. A sensual, page-turning diversion that's sure to win the author new fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars This story is great!!, October 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Brass Ring (Paperback)

Mavis Applewater has delievered a very interesting combination of romance and mystery. This is a true thriller, which doesn't ignore romance. I find it interesting that the only negaitive reviews come from the same person under different names. It wasn't hard to figure out since it is the very same review perhaps if this reviewer was as clever as the writers they have been bashing lately they would be more creative. What? didn't you think people would notice? I feel a need to mention this since this person seems very focused on one publishing house. Lesibian romance is so rare and it is nice to find stories that can entertain us. So why try and to take that away? Mavis gives us what we want, no pretense and lots of steamy scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A definite must for your book collection...., September 25, 2003

Got the book and started reading... before I realised I was on the last page and it was 4am:D What can I say, the story and the characters would not let me go to sleep!
AN ABSOLUTELY GREAT STORY!!!!!

The charachters were very real and beliavable, and what seemed to be a love story, the author also managed to bring in a good suspence plot there...

A little more on the the reality and message in the book... yes I thought there was one:)...
Even in todays "civilized" world, were everyone is supposedly free to love whom ever they choose to, gay people still have to hide who they truly are because of narrow mindness of others... what happened to the leading charachter in the book in the past, unfortunately still happens today...
