Book Description

Once burned, twice learned, did she dare trust again? Seeking to escape her stalking ex-fiancé, savvy computer expert, Ruby Goodman, flees to her family's vacation home. Always a healing place, Florida is the best spot for her to reassemble the crumbling pieces of her personal and professional life in safety. But somehow her high school sweetheart and first love, Michael Augustson, always appears when she least expects-but needs-him most. This time the only man she's ever truly loved needs her help to catch an international thief. But can she risk her life by becoming involved in his scheme? And does she dare to lay her heart on the line for a man who may disappear at any time? Forced into some 'R and R', unflappable special operative, Michael, takes refuge in Florida where he runs into his old love, Ruby. Brilliant and a whiz with computers, Ruby is the answer to his prayers. He needs someone to crack the computer systems of an elusive money laundering thief. While working with her, Michael finds it a challenge to keep his distance from Ruby because he fears his passion for her may endanger both their lives. The only way to keep Ruby safe is to keep her close. Is it because of the threat to her life? Or is it because the stubborn, independent and infuriating but passionate Ruby has become a threat to his heart?

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good page turner, January 30, 2009

It Happens In Threes starts out like the action with the firing of the gun at the start of the New York Marathon. There is enough action in the book to make it a real page turner. Of course, some of the book has more heat than a locker room at halftime of a big game. The book ends like a "Hail Mary" pass completed and ending the football game.

Overall, a good read with plenty of action and romance.

What a great story! Romance and action that will keep you glued to the pages to find out what happens next. What might seem like an obvious ending turns into something quite different and that was a nice surprise!! Gotta love a book that when you get to the end of the chapter, you still can't close the book! Onto Killer Bunny Hill now......Can't wait!

This book is like an action flick, erotic love story, romantic comedy and crime drama all rolled into one! I love it when it's obvious that the author knows what she's talking about, and that's definitely true in this case. The technical and procedural details are spot-on and startlingly realistic, and the sex scenes are white hot! Throw in vivid descriptions of to-die-for locations and some of the snappiest dialogue around, and it makes for one enjoyable read. Looking forward to more!
