5.0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING ROMANTIC SUSPENSE, July 26, 2005

By

This review is from: Dark Sky (MIRA) (Mass Market Paperback)

U. S. Deputy Marshall Juliet Longstreet returns, this time as the heroine in her own book. Juliet is a dedicated, determined woman who has dedicated her life to law enforcement. One of the people she has put away, Bobby Tatro, has been released from prison. His last words to her was a threat to get her when he got out. Not that she is terribly worried about it, threats like this go with the job. Unfortunately, this time is the one time it is for real.

Ethan Brooker is Special Ops, he has finally come to terms with his wife's murder, a year ago. The murderer was finally captured in the last book in this series. He worked with Juliet on that one too. Afterwards he disappeared again. Now he turns up in her life after finding her picture at the site of a kidnapping in Columbia. Ethan has moved on but he has not forgotten Juliet.

Juliet, Ethan, Bobby and several other political figures are being manipulated by an unknown person or group. Several grudges are held against both Juliet and Ethan. While trying to capture and torture Juliet, her niece is attacked by Bobby.

Both Juliet and Ethan seem to be pushed in a certain direction. As things heat up, between them, they also heat up in the investigation. Someone seems to know too much about both Juliet and Ethan. When both wind up in Vermont at the Longstreet farm everything breaks loose, Ethan is not sure he can even trust old friends. However between the two of them and the rest of Juliets family everything comes to resolution.

Very good book. Exciting, full of suspense, one of Negger's best books. If you like a good gripping read, this is it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dark Sky, August 16, 2005

By 

AK "Bro" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dark Sky (MIRA) (Mass Market Paperback)

When one of the men she put in jail gets out, Juliet Longstreet finds herself right in the middle of danger, not an unusual position for her, considering her job, but the fact that her present situation endangers her niece, is unacceptable. Working with a man she could love if he could get past the ghosts that haunt his memories, she tries to keep from becoming the prize in a game of revenge more twisted than she knows. The true villain is not who she thinks it is, and that could cost her, Wendy, and Ethan dearly.

*** Though this story does not rely heavily on knowledge of the prior book in the series, there are spots where that would make the reading easier and perhaps the confusion that arises at some points could be avoided altogether. However, longtime fans of Ms. Neggers will undoubtedly be thrilled with the results of her work. ***

4.0 out of 5 stars tense romantic suspense thriller, July 27, 2005

By 

Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews
(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Dark Sky (MIRA) (Mass Market Paperback)

New York based Deputy U.S. Marshal Juliet Longstreet knows she must be cautious as Bobby Tatro was just released from federal prison after serving four years. He vowed to avenge his arrest when Juliet took him down in Syracuse and she believes this violent man will come for her. In New York she finds her apartment house doorman murdered and her place searched as if someone was looking for an edge to get at her. Wanting to insure the safety of her family though most are law enforcement types, Juliet vows not wait for Tatro to make any more moves.

While she searches for Tatro, former Special Forces officer Ethan Brooker seeks the actual killer of his wife though he helped expose Nick Jannsen who called for the hit on his beloved Charlene. He believes that they have a mutual enemy as Tatro pulled the trigger. Ethan keeps Juliet on edge more so than the killer coming for her, but she persuades him to team up to keep her family safe as Tatro is coming for them.

The latest Carla Neggers deputy US Marshals tale is a tense romantic suspense thriller in which the lead couple tracks down a killer while trying to ignore their attraction to one another. The joint investigation seems at first simple enough to the lead pair and readers, but takes twists into a deadly conspiracy in which avariciousness leads to homicide and places her family at risk. Though similar in tone to previous tales like NIGHT'S LANDING, Ms. Neggers' fans will enjoy this strong tale while wondering if Juliet can capture her men, one to lock away and one to shower with love.
