5.0 out of 5 stars Mills crafts a SUPER tale!!, October 15, 2002

This review is from: When Night Falls (Silhouette Intimate Moments) (Paperback)

Years ago Liam Armstrong was accused of killing his wife. The bad boy from the bad background was suddenly a multimillionaire and everyone was willing to see him take the fall. Especially Wallace Clarke, the police inspector. He considers the fact he could never make a case because her body was never found, the stain on his career. Liam Armstrong has long hated Wallace Clarke for his merciless hounding.
But now decades later, Liam must form an uneasy alliance with Wallace's daughter Jessica. His daughter is missing. At first it is believed she ran off with a boyfriend, but they quickly rule this out. Liam does not trust Jessica, but she is the only one who will listen to him and believe he would not harm his daughter.

Jessisa is not daddy's little girl. A storm relationship and childhood with her father, left her rebellious and out to prove she was her own person. She rose thought the ranks of detective not on daddy's name, but through her own hard work.

Instant sparks fly between these two and the relationship builds high sexual tension and both do not trust the other, but slowly come to respect the other and see the person within.

Liam is a bad boy ala Anne Stuart tradition. And you cannot help but love him. Jessica, is bright, strong, and a fully fleshed out character you will admire.

Jenna Mills proves she is a writer to watch. If she keeps up this level of quality, you will soon see her writing big books!!

Great job Ms. Mills!! Highly Recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READ BOOK OF THE SUMMER, August 19, 2002

By 

Linda Miller (Westchester, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: When Night Falls (Silhouette Intimate Moments) (Paperback)

WHEN NIGHT FALLS is the must read book of the summer. I literaly could not put it down. When I wasn't reading it I was thinking about when I would be able to again. It was so suspensful it had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.

Liam Armstong is the ... hero who will stop at nothing to find his missing daughter. He feels he's all alone in his search until he begins to trust and ultimately love the detective assigned to the case. Together, through their strength and courage they make quite a team and help each other through a very sensative situation.

Jenna Mills has done a brillant job of bringing to life the horror of having a child kidnaped while at the same time showing us love, strenth and compassion. It is difficult to combine the two but Jenna Mills has done an outstanding job. She is an author to watch because she is incredibly talented and awe inspiring.

3.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this book, however, Ms. Mills failed to hold my attention in places ..., January 25, 2008

When Night Falls by Jenna Mills
Silhouette Intimate Moments # 1170 - August 2002

Liam's been under suspicion for murdering his daughter's mother for the past 15 years. Now his daughter is missing without a trace and again he's under suspicion. Jessica is the detective assigned to finding the missing teenager, but she's also the daughter of the detective who handled the original investigation of Emily's missing mother. Liam has a hard time trusting Jess but her unfailing loyalty and belief that Liam is innocent wins him over. Slowly Jess erodes the walls that Liam has built around his heart and he finds himself loathing himself for wanting her while his daughter is missing. Jess has issues as well from growing up with an obsessive father, who refused to give up his search for the evidence to put Liam in prison.

I liked both of these characters. However, Ms. Mills failed to hold my attention in places and I found myself skimming forward in the story. The wound issues in Liam are played well when first introduced, but sadly are repeated again and again. I would have preferred more of a story of the search for Emily and less of Liam's wounded psyche. This was a very early work for Ms. Mills. I have three later works on my TBR pile; I'm hoping that the rough edges will have been worked out.
