Book Description

Arabesque May 1, 2008
A dangerous attraction… Michael Adams is no angel. But she's no murderer either, even if she did joke with her sisters about killing her ex-husband, Phil, after their nasty divorce. How was she to know that someone really wanted Phil dead—or that she would become the prime suspect? It doesn't help that the investigating detective is so distractingly gorgeous that Michael can hardly think straight.…

Michael is sexy, smart and a little bit wild— everything Detective Kyson Dekker loves in a woman. True, there is that tiny problem of her being the prime suspect in a homicide, and the fact that Kyson is torn between seducing her and getting her to confess. But if she's being framed, Michael needs protection—and Kyson is ready to prove he's the man for the job, in every way.…

5.0 out of 5 stars I did not like this story..., May 11, 2008
By 
Patsy Nelson "Readin Diva" (Charlotte, North Carolina United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Controversy (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
Let me start by saying that I did not like this book.
I LOVED IT! I LOVED IT! I LOVED IT!
CONTROVERSY, is the latest installment of the Adams sisters, Peyton (Measure of a Man), Joey ( When You Were Mine),Frankie, Sheldon, and now Michael. You can't forget their brother Flex.
Michael has always been the rebel. The one in the family that was always getting into something. With her history of pranks and payback, when her ex-husband ends up dead, Michael becomes number one suspect. Not to mention having the hots for the detective that comes to question her.
CONTROVERSY is a page turner that will have you in stitches laughing out loud one minute, fanning yourself from the steamy love scenes and crying with emotion the next. The twists in the story that leads to and an ending that even this diehard reader wasn't prepared for was well worth the time spent reading.
Ms. Byrd's voice is as fresh as the first novel I read by her (DEFENSELESS) eleven years ago.
Her stories are refreshing and goes right to the readers heart.
If you're ready for a roller coaster read of pleasure, CONTROVERSY is the book to read. Although it is strong enough to stand alone, you will want to read the other books in the series. All of them are Must Reads!

5.0 out of 5 stars Handcuffed, April 28, 2008
This review is from: Controversy (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
Well what can you say beside D!@#. This book was so good it will have you laughing so hard. I tell you those Adams sister are something else, but there is nothing like sisters. I tell from the time you pick up this book you will not be able to put it down until you have finishing read it. That Kyson is oh so FINEEEEEE and him and Michael there is instance attraction it jump off the page at you. You can feel the attraction between while reading and the love scene are great. I tell using handcuffed are pretty handy. The ending will surprise you as well. There was moment in the book where I had tears in my eyes which don't take much for me. Don't want to spoil the ending but this is a must READ.

I don't know if this is the end on the series but I sure HOPE not there are at least 3 stories I would like to see written. Flex, Kyson's brother & sister story and I am hoping Adrianne has already started on at least one of them

BUY THE BOOK YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED..............

5.0 out of 5 stars Controversy Indeed!!, May 28, 2008
This review is from: Controversy (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
With each book Ms. Byrd get's better and better. In this one we meet another Adams sister. We meet Michael who is newly divorced a slighly bitter and wants to get back at her husband but of course it's all talk or is it? And this is where the funny, hot and crazy story begins and Ms. Byrd takes you on this ride and leaves you wanting more. Did I mention funny. Those Adams sisters can get themselves into some mess LOL! And of cours there a point where Ms. Byrd tries to get you with the tears. You get to catch up with the rest of the Adams clan and meet the sexy dective Kyson. Definite recommendation!
