5.0 out of 5 stars Exposure is a great romantic suspense!, December 20, 1999

On the run from her past, Emma and daughter Gracie, stop in Port Flannery, Washington. Emma meets Sheriff Elvis Donnelly. The attraction between physically-flawed Elvis, and practically-perfect Emma is what makes this book so good. Emma's a truly strong heroine; and, Elvis is less confident in himself, than most heros in the romantic suspense genre.

When Emma's past catches up with her, Elvis becomes Emma's and Gracie's protector. Little surprizes occur, that keep the suspense and action moving.

This is an excellent book. And while not as dark as Ms. Andersen's earliest books (Obsession, Present Danger, Shadow Dance), it's nothing like either of her "Baby" books. Humor is very subtle.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!, April 19, 2000

I bought my first Susan Andersen book after I saw the cover (Be My Baby). I am so glad I "judged a book by its cover"! Now I am addicted to her books which have all been super. I love the craziness and sexiness of the plots/characters. As usual, I neglected my children for the three days it took to finish Exposure. While I'm swinging them with my right hand, I have her book in my left. SUSAN - PLEASE DON'T STOP WRITING SUCH WITTY WONDERFUL BOOKS!

P.S. I have turned my two sisters on to your books and they read them while on the train going to and from work in Downtown Chicago and find themselves embarassed from laughing out loud unexpectedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great romantic suspense! Refreshingly different!, November 26, 1997

By

This review is from: Exposure (Mass Market Paperback)

EXPOSURE is the first Susan Andersen title I've read, and I'm coming back for more! I've long been a fan of romantic suspense, and EXPOSURE is very satisfying on many levels. The plot line isn't terribly innovative, but the execution is terrific! The characterizations are refreshingly different, even a little offbeat. The dialogue is wonderful, realistic and advances the story line without being forced. The sexually related encounters are fun, poignant, and ring true. All in all, this novel has just made my Top Ten list.
