Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Two stories about romance on the rocks, served with a twist of intrigue. Connections follows Fleur Stockley's fight to make a comeback after her boyfriend bankrupts her company and dumps her. She does rebuild, but her success comes at a high price as she is drawn into a world of deceit and corruption. Coulter borrows from the Montagues and the Capulets as English heiress Chauncey Fitzhugh travels to the United States to take revenge on the scoundrel who ruined her father financially but instead finds herself falling for him.

Product Description
British heiress Chauncey Fitzhugh has come to San Francisco to get revenge on the man she believes ruined her father. But he is not the scoundrel she expected. He is charming, handsome, rich-and as elusive as a wisp of smoke. Just the sort Chauncey is likely to fall for.

"Her plots are like rich desserts-sinfully delicious and hard to pass up." (Atlanta constitution)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good rainy afternoon read, December 30, 1999

By	dyl (GA) - See all my reviews

If you are looking for a diversion on a rainy afternoon, this is the book for you. I bought the book in an airport when I was stuck waiting for a delayed flight, and it really made the time fly. The characters were realistic and not at all like the usual "oh, he is so handsome, so I will fall for him" sort that so many romance authors seem to create. The characters really seemed to struggle with the issues including Chauncey's need for revenge against the man she thought caused her father's death and Delaney's curiosity at her distance. The end was exciting, though the very end seemed to just lose a little steam. If you are looking for a diversion, this is a worthwhile escape for a few hours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very exciting and suspenseful!, December 7, 1999

By A Customer

This was a wonderful series! I think this is my favorite of the four. Delaney and Chauncy were meant for each other. You fall in love with the characters from the start. She is determined to seek revenge on Delaney for her father's death and falls in love instead. No matter what happened in the past Delaney is there to find out who is trying to kill her and their love and passion is very strong!

I love series books. You get to become friends with all the characters, and this series is terrific. This book was a real knuckle biter. I loved it! Onward to number three!
