"Like A Fish Needs A Bicycle!!!",
By
This review is from: Sophie's Last Stand (Silhouette Bombshell) (Mass Market Paperback)
"Like A Fish Needs A Bicycle!!!" is the mantra that sassy Sophie Mazzaratti used when it came to men. She is done with men after she get rid of her sleazy ex. Well, at least she thought she was done with men. Her mind is changed though when she makes a move in order to get a fresh start in New Bern, North Carolina. One sexy detective named Gray Evans is making her rethink her stance on men. Will he be around though at the end of her trials and tribulations? See, trouble has followed Sophie to her new home. Dead bodies, exploding cars, drive by shootings, and break-ins, the FBI, and oh yeah...the mob have also arrived. Well, Sophie has had enough and she won't take it any more. With help from her family, her dad's friends, and yummy Gray things will be put to rights...right?
Sophie is a heroine for today's lady!!! She can take on the bullies by herself (and innocent plumbers as well but you have to read the book), but still have the good sense to know a good thing when she sees it. In this case our hero Gray. Gray on the other hand is sexy, strong, but not in an over powering way! In other words a perfect couple. Ms. Bartholomew has added a new twist to the romantic suspense genre. This story is penned in 1st person POV, with laugh out loud moments, quirky secondary characters, and slowly built sensuality that is toe curling. In other words, this is a book you won't want to overlook! Official Reviewer for Romance Designs

5.0 out of 5 stars
entertaining police procedural romance,
This review is from: Sophie's Last Stand (Silhouette Bombshell) (Mass Market Paperback)
When her spouse of ten years is arrested and convicted of selling illegally obtained movies of naked neighbors, Sophie Mazaretti divorces Nick "the Dick" as the media dubs him and moves from Philadelphia to New Bern, North Carolina to start over. However, peace eludes the kindergarten teacher as people visit her claiming that Nick owed them money or are seeking revenge for having been filmed without permission by the peeping camera tom.
Working in the backyard of her new home, Sophie finds a corpse of a woman with the tattoo hate on her arm. She calls the cops who act nasty to her until her brother Joey arrives to run interference. Soon afterward, Detective Gray "Mr. Wonderful" Evans takes over the investigation. Her husband finds her, followed by the mob and the Feds, with Gray trying to keep her safe while they fall in love. First he must insure she is safe because even if the brave South Philly transplant is tough, Nick's associates are thugs demanding his wife pay his debts. SOPHIE'S LAST STAND is an entertaining police procedural romance starring a delightful street smart heroine and the cop who not only wants to insure her safety, wants her. The story line is driven by Sophie's struggles to start over after the debacle her ex-spouse caused her, but no one from his past will leave her alone. Fans of romantic suspense will appreciate this fine second chance at love and life, but not necessarily in that order. Harriet Klausner
