5.0 out of 5 stars exciting police procedural romance, June 14, 2005
This review is from: Trigger Effect (Silhouette Bombshell) (Mass Market Paperback)
In Oklahoma City, former cop forensic statement analysis expert Paige Carmichael provides a seminar on how to interpret documents and verbal and nonverbal language as clues to criminal behavior. However, she is also disturbed to learn that serial killer Dr. Edwin Isaac, who she busted, escaped; he is leaving messages for Paige.

The threat to Paige is taken seriously by local law enforcement and homicide detective Nate McCall is assigned to keep her safe. As she provides instruction, Paige hears a comment from one of her students that raises her alert level. However, she knows from experience no one will believe her. At the same she is attracted to Nate who does not hide his feelings that she is a charlatan although he desperately desires her. Soon he will learn how accurate she is in "reading" words when he has to keep her safe from Isaac and his peer who want her dead.

This is an exciting police procedural romance with the emphasis on the action. Paige's skill, especially with forensic communication, will intrigue the audience as it is cleverly interwoven in the plot to include the heroine having problems interpreting the confusing signals from Nate who wants her but scorns her expertise as voodoo magic. The story line is filled with suspense, but having two antagonists sometimes makes it difficult to follow who is doing what to whom. Still this is a terrific bombshell with a fabulous lead couple more than worth the price.

This review is from: Trigger Effect (Silhouette Bombshell) (Mass Market Paperback)
The main character's profession of Statement Analysis is fascinating, and thus instantly grabs you, but this is definitely more action than romance. The romantic lead Nate McCall is pretty forgettable. Doesn't really have much personality - loves his family, is nice to the family dog, doesn't lie, is physically sexy, one of his sisters cooks for him. Where's the wit or intrigue? Is he talented at anything besides bedroom-related?

Neither character has any personality outside of their job and their cases, including the one in which the main female lead is being hunted down.

Eventually, the book just seemed too long. Had to get through a lot to get to the ending, and then the ending wasn't really that satisfying. You get the feeling that the couple could maybe still break it off two months later.

Too bad, because the statement analysis stuff was intriguing and interesting. I felt that I actually learned something. In that aspect, Paige Carmichael (the lead) could almost be her own character in a series, a la Stephanie Plum.
