My thoughts:
Compared to other Tori Carrington books I've read, this one wasn't quite cutting it for me. I wasn't too fond of the first person view for Alan, then switching over to the 3rd person for Molly. It got rather confusing to me. Overall, though the plot was fairly good!

5.0 out of 5 stars Submission, June 27, 2007

This review is from: Submission (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

New Orleans homicide detective, Alan Chevalier, knows it is going to be a bad day when he is called in to investigate another murder in the French Quarter. He knows it is going to be a really bad day when he comes across a prior victim's sister blocking the way to his car. Telling the dead woman's sister to go home and let the big boys do the investigating doesn't even rattle the woman because she vows to stick with Detective Chevalier like glue until he finds out just who murdered her sister.

Molly Laraway was never very close to her sister so she doesn't really understand why she has to find out who murdered Claire. Knowing that she will have no peace until her sister's killer is found, Molly travels to New Orleans and confronts the only man that she has hope in helping her, Alan Chevalier. Used to having her life in order, Molly doesn't realize that in trusting this hardened, street-wise cop, her sedate and ordinary life is about to change.

The husband and wife team of Tori Carrington has a winner with Submission. The third book of their Dangerous Liaisons miniseries, Submission also takes place in New Orleans. Full of intrigue, suspense, and just plain steamy sex, Submission will enchant Harlequin Blaze lovers with its sensuality and storyline. I enjoyed this book so much that I am bound and determined to go back and read the first two installments of this series!

5.0 out of 5 stars heated tense police procedural romance, May 7, 2006

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

This review is from: Submission (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

In the New Orleans French Quarter, homicide detective Alan Chevalier is stunned when he sees Molly Laraway for the first time.. However, Molly explains that she is the fraternal twin of recently murdered Claire, a case he has not solved in the two weeks since they found the beautiful woman's corpse. Molly insists on knowing how well his investigation is going; he insists on her going home back to Toledo, but the obstinate Molly informs him she will be there until her sibling's infamous "Quarter Killer" is caught.

Convinced that Molly will hang around amateurishly sleuthing with "Dangerous Liaisons", Alan decides to make her useful in his bed though he also considers using her as bait to lure the culprit out into the open. As they fall in love he begins to doubt the wisdom of using her as a lure though both expect their relationship to end when the killer is caught because both Molly and Alan have commitment issues.

SUBMISSION, the third Dangerous Liaisons thriller (see OBSESSION and POSSESSION), is a heated tense police procedural romance starring two flawed individuals struggling with a serial killer and even more with love. The sleuthing is fun though it takes a back seat to the relationship between the lead couple. Fans will enjoy this strong romantic suspense with an odd final twist that no one could anticipate yet the clues were out in the open.
