5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, August 20, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Captive Heart (Paperback)
This was one of the first lesbian books I read and my reaction was, if they're all like this, give me more. CJ is a woman who is used to having any woman she wants, until she runs into a police officer who seems immune to her charms. If CJ is going to capture the woman she wants, she's going to have to change her behavior. The question is, can she? This is a well developed story with some excitement and romance in it. Well worth the read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast and Furious, October 5, 2007
By 
K. Johnson (Twin Cities, MN) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Captive Heart (Paperback)
Take a spoiled little rich playgirl and pair her with a deeply-closeted cop and what do you get? A funny, light story about two women coming of age and changing each others' lives. Start with CJ Riley, the only daughter of a wealthy father and a girl who won't grow up. She won't take responsibility for herself and lives recklessly. She meets stern cop Lois Franklin one night while speeding down the highway and decides Lois is just the challenge she's seeking. Of course, Lois is less than impressed with CJ and that's when the fun begins.

CJ has a wake-up call when her father has a heart attack and she's needed to take over the family business. The only question is, will taking on this responsibility make her more attractive to Lois or will it tear them apart?

Like most books by Jones, this one is enjoyable. The book is fairly short, but the characters are broadly developed and likable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Way Too Schematic, compared to "Room for Love", January 13, 2002
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Captive Heart (Paperback)
I guess Room for Love shows how far this author has come. Captive Heart is disappointingly thin, allowing hasty dialogue/third-person monologue declaring the cardboard characters' feelings and intentions to take the place of careful, evocative descriptions of places, and of persons with inner lives.
