This review is from: The Temptress (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was really good. It kept my interest and I couldn't stop until I'd read it all in one sitting.

Christina Montgomery Mathison a.k.a. Nora Dallas, the world renowned reporter, is spirited away from the home of Hugh Lanier by two young men. One man is named Asher Prescott and one is Tynan, the most handsome man Chris has ever seen. This begins an adventure lasting several weeks.

Some of the adventure takes place in the decidious rain forest of Washington state. The descriptions are beautiful.

This is an exciting tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Any Deveraux fan will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely loved this book., February 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Temptress (Mass Market Paperback)

I absolutely loved this book because it was exciting, adventurous, and I could not put it down. Christina, the main character, is always trying to investigate things and is always getting herself in trouble. Tynan, is the man who's never had a chance in life and has a bad name, but always comes to Christiana's rescue. I loved the independent braveness of Christina. I wish I could be more head-strong and independent like her. I would definately recommend this book to everyone. It is one of the best books I've ever read.
