4.0 out of 5 stars
There's a thin line between lust and hate..., March 25, 2008
This review is from: One Way Out (Mass Market Paperback)
Cassie Ashton has a passion for paleontology but not the PhD necessary to be taken seriously. When her crew happens upon the fossil remains of a young t-rex, she needs help authenticating her find, and has to turn to nemesis Alex Martinelli despite reservations. Alex is still smarting from Cassie's constant luck in finding big-ticket items while he keeps uncovering less significant finds, and looks at Cassie as a profiteer. As they work side by side to validate the remains, they realize there's a thin line between lust and hate. Despite Cassie wanting to keep Trixie the t-rex under wraps, word gets out and soon she discovers that someone close to her has betrayed her in order to cash in on Trixie. It's up to Alex and Cassie to rescue Trixie and their reputations.
Albert has a knack for dialogue, plotting, and character development. Loosely related to her earlier novel "Getting Her Man" (and even featuring the wedding of the two protagonists), Albert's knowledge of archeology and attention to detail keep the story flowing with never a dull moment action. About the only thing I didn't care for was the epilogue, which appears to serve no purpose other than to introduce the next character to get her own story; it just didn't fit with the rest of the story.

Great Read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, February 24, 2005
This review is from: One Way Out (Mass Market Paperback)
I was already a Michele Albert fan and she just gets better and better.
Cassie Ashton is a fossil hunter without a degree. She runs her family business a ranch, and fossil hunter tours, as well as a serious palentology lab. Her crew finds the first ever baby T-rex (Trixie). She is divorced and the mother of a 15 year old son. Her passion is all for old bones, and her enemy for 5 years Alex Martinelli, a paleontologist who sees her and her business as money hungry vultures who care nothing about the history of the earth they destroy.
Alex has been driven by his passion for old bones, but somewhere along the way he has lost his joy in his job. The only thing that fires him up now are the inevitable friction between him and Cassie.
IF you read OFF LIMITS, my personel favorite, you met Cassie briefly.
Now Cassie needs Alex to verify her find and help her to preserve and free the little girl from her rocky cocoon. They have to find a way to work togather and dampen the sparks they strike off each other.
Unknown to both there is another player who will do anything to get their hands on the priceless baby. Making trouble between the two of them seems a good way to start. However, Cassie and Alex are not as full of resentment at each other as the thief thinks.
Great book! I loved it. Sat up late to finish it. After reading it I know you will want to get her other books. GETTING HER MAN and OFF LIMITS.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Exciting story, March 8, 2005
This review is from: One Way Out (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read Michele Albret's first two novels, that is why I just got this one when it came out.
This was a good book as well. It had entertaining characters and an interesting plot. It left you guessing as to who the bad guy was, I was completly surprised.
Cassie is a strong independent woman who know herself. Alex is a strong man who know what he wants and is not overbearing.
My favorite book by Michele is Getting Her Man and I still think it is the best. This was really good. Recommended.
