Review of In the Arms of the Enemy (Paperback)

For a short time in my life I became interested in Romantic Suspense.Patricia Guthrie has renewed this interest a bit if only to eagerly await her next book.
Authors today seem to have an excess of sex, violence and curse words in their books.IN THE ARMS OF THE ENEMY has none of these things overdone.As a matter of fact the curse words that others seem to think are necessary to writing are absent from Ms. Guthrie's book.The other two are done to a level adequate to this grand read, which delights me to no end.

Ms. Guthrie uses a storm to set the scene for big troubles to come and she has a spinning wheel of suspects that keeps one actively involved in the plot.

In short spurts you grow to dislike a character and then in a brief scene you begin to see another side and then the author kills the character.At the moment I found this character was dead, I screamed and hollered at Patricia with all the fury within my soul.She evoked such emotion in me that I for one cannot wait to read her next book.I also thank her for sharing her creative soul with us.Great job, Patricia.

Review of I See You (Paperback)

I SEE YOU is the third of Lisle's romantic suspense books.It returns to the setting of the first one, MIDNIGHT RAIN, and uses Brig as a main character rather than a secondary one.(On a side note, it's nice to hear even the tiny glimpses that are included about Alan and Phoebe, though for a moment I expected them to actually make an appearance.)

The mystery and suspense element of the book is very strong, and one of the things Lisle's readers can rely on.She gives enough hints that a very, VERY astute reader could, theoretically, figure out the plot twists before the main characters do.Most readers, however (including yours truly) will figure out only enough hints to point them in the wrong direction.Instead of being annoying, however, this only serves to increase the tension.

The romantic scenes in I SEE YOU are also well written.They flow realistically from the characters' personalities and situations rather than being there just to have sex scenes.In fact, all of the characters are fully developed, and their actions reflect their personalities in the non-romance scenes, also.

I SEE YOU is less gory than its predecessors.The paranormal element is present, though I won't give away any details about it.In all, this is a very good addition to a set of highly recommended books.
