(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Sleeping With The Enemy (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)

Deep undercover FBI agent Jared Romine goes even deeper underground when he is accused of murder. Three years later the Feds cannot find Jared though he remains in contact with his sister. The FBI keeps a questionable surveillance on Jared's sibling though she has not committed any crime.

New York based FBI agent Chase Bracken has been very successful until he alienates a higher up. He is given two weeks to locate and bring Jared in or else. Desperate not to lose the job he loves, Chase will break any rule that stands in the way of his nabbing Jared. The starting and ending point is Jared's sister, emergency room Dr. Destiny "Dee" Romine. Dee keeps everyone at a distance because she knows about the FBI witch-hunt for her brother. However, the new neighbor upstairs penetrates her heart and soul, and Chase reciprocates her feelings of love. However, their budding relationship appears dead before it can soar once she learns she has been SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY.

SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY is a powerful romantic suspense novel that works because of Chase, who will do just about anything to solve the case. The heated story line is fast-paced and filled with action. However, the lead characters' relationship ultimately stuns the audience with how good this novel is. Readers will feel the summer temperatures soar on the growing love between Chase and Dee as well as his feelings of guilt and her sense of betrayal. Jamie Denton has written a winner in which readers will demand a sequel for starring that deeply buried former Fed Jared.

3.0 out of 5 stars Powerful final chapters save this book, January 11, 2002

This review is from: Sleeping With The Enemy (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)

Dr. Dee (Destiny) Romine has survived a tough childhood and tougher adulthood. Her brother, a renegade FBI agent, is on the run and the FBI believes that Dee holds the key to his location. They'll stop at nothing to find him, even if it means sending in an agent to bend the rules and break her heart. Agent Chase Bracken doesn't mind bending the rules and he always gets his man. He won't feel good about lying to Dee, but that won't keep him from doing his job. Of course he knows where their relationship will go when Dee finally learns the truth.

SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY lays out a fine conflict and adds the hint of adventure to the sexual intrigue the typifies the Blaze imprint. Unfortunately, the first two thirds of this book are glacial in pace. Both Dee and Chase spend page after page in introspection, remasticating what few events took place in scene. Once Dee and Chase consumate their relationship, author Jamie Denton turns up the heat. Not only do her love scenes sizzle, but the characters start to show a wealth of emotion and connectedness that were missing through the earlier chapters.

It's easy to see why Denton is characterized as a rising star--she can write well. Unfortunately, many readers will have given up on this book before Denton starts to deliver.
