5.0 out of 5 stars Heartbreaker won't break JG's fans' hearts...., June 25, 2000

By	"recyndra" (Cleveland, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heartbreaker (Hardcover)

Julie Garwood's first contemporary chiller is a must read for any Garwood fan. Like many, I was sceptical and wondered if I would like this "new" type of book.

It's wonderful. Ms. Garwood stays true to her writing style with real life hero and heroine characters, along with her always perfect secondary characters. The suspense and tension is believable and scary, but there's humor, too. Nick's reactions when Laurent agrees with him after he tries to explain to her that she couldn't possibly love him, that it's just the situation they're in is hilarious - "Of course you don't love me.....what do you mean, you don't love me?". Vintage Garwood bantering and I just put the book down and laughed.

I also know I'm not alone in falling for Father Tom and Noah Clayborne (yes, Clayborne) and am hoping (demanding?) that Noah get his own book as soon as possible.

It's been rumored that each of the so-called FBI "Apostles", Noah among them, will be getting their own books, but for now, one of Nick's brothers is the next to get his own book. Theo? Please, please let Noah be next.

Anyway, run, do not walk to your bookstore / internet site to get this book. You WON'T be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Garwood takes the high road and travels it with flash & dash, August 15, 2000

By	Kay Lewis (SD USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heartbreaker (Hardcover)

What? Julie Garwood's "Heartbreaker" is a contemporary romance/mystery? My words when I discovered my favorite writer was stepping out of the mold I associated with her of dark, brooding Earls and fair, fancy Ladies! My next sentence was a half-hearted....."Okay, I'll lay down my money and give it a shot". Thank goodness I did or I'd have missed out on my favorite Garwood book to date!

Her characters, Nick and Laurant jump at your from the pages...and fill your imagination with fanciful thoughts of actually knowing them along with Laurant's brother, Father Tom and the exciting Noah Clayborne (please let there be a book on Noah...please, please, please?).

Oh, did I mention the psycho that has designs on Larant....as his next victim? The plot is so intricatly woven by Garwood you'll drive yourself nuts trying to figure out who the "Heartbreaker" is. Great read! Can't wait for her next book....I'm betting it's a sequel to this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read., July 18, 2000

By	Jennifer Ortiz "jenortiz" (Irvington, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Heartbreaker (Hardcover)

I enjoyed reading this latest novel by Julie Garwood, "Heartbreaker." I was a little disappointed that it was set in the present instead of her usual historical themes. However, once you got into the story, it was not disappointing. I truly enjoyed the insert of the character Noah Clayborne. I can't wait for a story to be written about him! It is always fun to read about beloved characters and their ties to new ones. I think that you should try this book. It won't disappointment you.
