Review

The summer of '77 will live in the memories of Cassidy Buchanan forever. At the tender age of sixteen, and the youngest daughter of the wealthiest man in Prosperity, Oregon, Cass falls hard for the bad boy in town, Brig McKenzie. Nineteen and experienced, with both women and the law, the last thing Brig needs is to be accused of taking advantage of one of Rex McKenzie's daughters. But beautiful Angie wants to get him into bed, or any where else for that matter, and Cass wants to give him the innocent love he doesn't think he deserves. A deadly fire at the timber mill that results in the loss of Angie and another boy, has the town believing that only Brig McKenzie could be guilty. Insisting that he escape until the real killer/arsonist is found, Cass gives Brig her horse and her heart as he rides out of her life, possibly forever. Now, after seventeen years, Cass is confronted with memories of the past as well as problems of the present. Married to Brig's brother Chase, Cassidy's emotions are in turmoil when another fire, so similar to the previous one, leaves Chase fighting to recover and a second man, believed to be Brig McKenzie using an alias, dead. Intimacies is what this story is all about. The intimate relationships of the Buchanan's and the McKenzie's and the tragedies, mysteries, and evils they bring forth. Forget who shot J.R. - who fathered Angie's baby? Ms. Jackson has delved deeply into her characters motivations, lives, loves and hidden secrets to bring us a novel that shocks us with new twists just when you think you have the mystery figured out, and gives us the only happy ending their could be to such a complication situation.Ms. Jackson certainly reached for the stars with this one, and Intimacies shines brightly in comparison! Ms. Jackson makes character and plot development seem easy! What a natural talent! Ms. Jackson makes her secondary characters almost as strong as her hero and heroine, and boy does it work!Diane Potwin -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my first but not my last Lisa Jackson book, May 23, 1999

This review is from: Intimacies (Paperback)

After reading the first 100 or so pages, I figured I just had a very good romance novel, and then all of a sudden the action started. Ms. Jackson kept me guessing until the very end on who the culprit was. This was a very good romance/mystery and I would recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED IT!!, November 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Intimacies (Paperback)

This book tells the story of Brig McKenzie and Cassidy Buchanan McKenzie. This book is action packed and is an emotional roller coaster. It has everything from incest to switched identities. Brig and Cass's love is endless. It's lasted through seventeen years of separation and Cass's marriage to Brig's older brother Chase. Interesting enough for you? Well, then purchase this book. It's outstanding! You'll love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspense At Every Turn and Until the End, December 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Intimacies (Paperback)

Great suspense novel as well as great romance. Well defined and likeable characters. The relationship between Cassidy and Brig was one to remember. The secondary characters like Angie and Chase are great too! I never guess who was behind all the fires until the very end--great work!
