From Library Journal
When Sarah Stevens, butler and bodyguard extraordinaire, foils a robbery, she could not have predicted either the tragic chain of events that would be set in motion or detective Thomas Cahill, who responded to the first crime scene. Sarah intrigued, attracted, and aroused him, but his first marriage had dissolved in livid disgust, making him all too wary. Sarah is equally frightened of her feelings for him; she had never before felt so deeply. It might have been bliss had Sarah's employers not developed a habit of dying by murder. This story, aided by Howard's descriptive narrative, translates well to audio, with evocative visual images cascading through every scene. The author also writes the most erotic lovemaking in the business, which Susan Ericksen handles with aplomb. Careful not to overdramatize, she captures the emotional undercurrents, the mood, and tone of the tale with apparent ease. Recommended for all popular fiction collections.

From AudioFile
Can a tough, capable female butler/bodyguard find happiness in the arms of a jaded cop? Apparently, yes, many times and graphically. But Sarah is also being stalked by an obsessed and powerful sicko whose idea of foreplay is to kill her employers. Susan Ericksen's forthright reading elevates a too obvious plot while her agility with voices gives individual characters warmth and distinction. She seems to take charge of the script as Sarah takes charge of her life. Not even she, however, can keep a promising start from degenerating into a tangle of body parts and emotions. If you like your fiction hot and steamy, this is for you. J.B.G. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine--
