In 1978 West Los Angeles, Hollywood heavyweight Aubrey "GLAMOUR PUSS" St. George hires contractor Joseph "Mac" McGowen to construct a swimming pool on his property. Mac meets his client's wife Stella, a wannabe actress and in spite of knowing better, he soon has an affair with her. However, when Aubrey catches them in the act, he tries to beat up Stella, but Mac intercedes. During a scuffle Mac is knocked out, but when he awakens he learns he killed Aubrey when he shoved him. For the good of both their careers, Stella persuades Mac to bury Aubrey, which they do under the cement of the swimming pool.

Two decades later, Mac and Stella remain tied to the focal point of their lives. They were married and have a twenty-year-old son Troy. Although Mac is the biggest pool and spa contractor in Southern California, he remains haunted by Aubrey's death. However, a third party knows what happened on that fateful day. Mac turns to private investigator Jade Morro for help against an unknown enemy turning nastier and nastier by the day.

GLAMOUR PUSS is an exciting romantic suspense tale that sub-genre fans will fully enjoy. The story line is action-packed from the start and the key players, especially Stella and Mac are fully developed. Readers who prefer a taut thriller to complement the romance will want to peruse R.J. Kaiser's latest tale that accomplishes that and more.

I have read all of R.J. Kaiser's novels and I have enjoyed almost everyone of them. I believe that "Glamour Puss" was definitely one of the best! Mr. Kaiser mixes a large dosage of suspense with a moderate dosage of romance. In 1978, Mac McGowan, an owner of a pool company, and his lover, Stella, who he was having an affair with, killed Stella's husband who was nicknamed "Glamour Puss" and buried his body underneath the foundation of their swimming pool. Now 22 years later, the past is creeping back on Mac and Stella, who are now separated. Mac is very rich now and he owns many pool corporations. Mac gets a note saying that someone knows what he and his lover did 22 years ago. Later another note follows and then the blackmailing begins! If that isn't bad enough, Mac and his business associate are being shot at by another person who holds a grudge aganist him because of some business problems! Mac and Stella race to decipher who this person that knows about their past is, before their glamourous lives turn to hell! R.J. Kaiser is a wonderful author of romantic suspense. I'm looking forward to his next novel in June of 2001!

I've read all of Mr Kaiser's books and they get better and better. The story is so engaging, you can hardly wait to see how it ends. It ended just right. Mac is such a likable person, you hope for a good ending for him, in spite of his lapse in judgement. Two secrets that were revealed I'd already figured out, but it did not deter me in the least. Get comfortable before you start this book. It's a good one. I can't wait for Mr Kaiser's next novel. Enjoy!
