A Superb Romantic Mystery, October 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: For His Daughter (Harlequin Intrigue Series) (Mass Market Paperback)
Dani Sinclair delivers what may be her best book yet with "For His Daughter," a shotgun-blast of a novel that takes off and never lets up until the last page is turned. D.C. cop Lee Garvey wakes up in a motel room next to the body of his vindictive ex-wife, the scene clearly meant to show that he killed her. Unable to remember what happened the night before, he decides to elude local authorities and solve the crime himself, along the way pulling in Kayla Coughlin, his ex-wife's best friend and a key source of information. As usual, the book contains Ms. Sinclair's immensely readable style, but this time, the solution to the crime doesn't strain the limits of credibility, making perfect, seamless sense. There are a few flashes of deep emotion in Lee's determination not to leave his two-year-old daughter without a father, and some steamy moments as Lee and Kayla figure out what their hearts have known all along. The pair are perfectly matched, and their actions always understandable. I really was not even meaning to read it. I was paging through the openings of the three November Intrigues that I hadn't read yet, trying to decide which one to move on to next. Several hours later, I finally put this book down. From a gripping opening to the final revelations, it's a first-class mystery that romantic suspense fans should find equally engrossing.

KEEPER - ESPECIALLY GRIPPING!, December 1, 2001
This review is from: For His Daughter (Harlequin Intrigue Series) (Mass Market Paperback)
FROM A MINOR CHARACTER IN HI#401 TO A BOOK OF HIS OWN! That has to speak well of character, that he can command enought umph to star in his own story. Lee Garvey is an officer in DC but is pulled to Fools Point, MD because of his little girl, Melissa and his conniving ex-wife, Fay. It tickled me to [in my own mind] solve his problem before he did. I was some disappointed in Kayla but went along with the story to enjoy the results. I was so intrigued with her brother, Alex's entrance into the story and then the mystery surrounding Jake Collins that I began to look for their stories. And Dani Sinclair did not disappoint me in that. Lee and Kayla and Alex and Jake began the setting to other books in the series of Fools Point. Don't miss the following HI#551 "My Baby, My Love" is #2 -- HI#565 "The Silent Witness" is #3 -- and HI#602 "Best-Kept Secrets" is #4 [I am always wishing people would list sequels for me so here is my effort to help you enjoy these stories] I have not been able to put these books down and have been reading almost non-stop. My ratings are all Excellent -M -- great author - great stories - enjoyable enough to reread.

My review will be much more simple. It was a good book. The characters had chemistry and the storyline, involving. I plan to get a few more of Ms. Sinclair's books.
