1: Terrible, Terrible, terrible!
Tell me something. Why even bother to make a heroine an intelligent, competent, capeable woman, repected by her peers and very good at her job when no more than fifty pages into the book you are going to turn her into a flake? Honestly, it was like an alien abduction. A practical, professional ad-exec buys a powder blue Mercedes and proceedes to not have a single thought for the rest of the book. Tess goes west, and mutates somehow into a mindless, helpless, sniveling being, whose only purpose for the next 250 pages is to be repeatedly rescued by the domineering, though sexy, hero, and show up in time for the sex scenes. And as if that weren't bad enough to make the book worthy of being sat on by an elephant, the plot is jumbled and convoluted, with several extremely flimsey mysteries that hold water like a whiffle ball and quickly disolve into thin air. Where exactly was this money supposed to have come from? And at this point, does ANYONE really care, since the money thing has been dropped, too. The only good thing about the book was Tess's past life regression to an Anasazi cliff dweller, but that also disappeared about half-way through, leaving the reader with out a single excuse for having wasted about three hours of my valuable time.

2: Terrible Title - Good Book For The Beach Though
The title of the book put me off, but the story was better than anticipated. This isn't the be-all and end-all of romance novels, but it's good for a quick read. The plot could have been tightened up more - as others have mentioned, the ancient Native American flashback sequences seemed to be just dropped into the storyline without any explanation as to why Tess, an apparent Boston native, would be subject to them. Also, the "bad guys" were a little too faceless. But Tess and TJ had the requisite romantic appeal, the town was interesting, and the story flowed easily.

3: Fluff!
This book is slightly more intellectual than your typical trashy novel. Its characters are shallow, the plot is poorly developed and filled with holes, the dialogue is trite, and the sex scenes are tacky. At best, this book serves as mindless entertainment while on the beach--readers in search of thought-provoking depth should turn elsewhere!

4: A TRUE LOVE STORY FOR THE NEW MILLENIUM
THIS IS A WONDERFUL ROMANCE. TESS AND TJ ARE THE PERFECT MATCH WITH THEIR STRONG WILLED PERSONALITIES. THERE IS JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF DANGER IS THIS BOOK. TJ IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A MAN'S MAN. THIS RUGGED COWBOY THAT COULD BE MEL GIBSON'S TWIN CAN MELT YOUR HEART. IF I HAD TO CHANGE ONE THING IT WOULD BE TO TAKE OUT THE VISIONS THAT TESS HAS ABOUT BEING AN INDIAN MAIDEN MEETING HER LOVER.

5: Imaginative, delightful, and inspiring!
Ms. Skye has the wonderful ability to entertain her audience with her writing. Whether it's historical, paranormal, or contemporary, her imagination and talent continuously creates winners, and 2000 Kisses is no exception.Tess O'Mara is on a working cruise when a stranger makes a prediction about her, which puts an unattached Tess in hopes of her future and the chance at a life long love. With the cruise and New Years day behind her, Tess finds her promised bonus is a little more. Did I say little? It's a lot more than she expected. Once she starts spending, her worried brother, who thinks it's something more, steps in and sends her to a friend for safe keeping. Sheriff McCall sounds like every woman's dream, but the dreams, or visions, Tess has are very unusual and mysterious... possibly dangerous. I enjoyed Ms. Skye's creation of Almost, Arizona and the characters that reside there. It gave the story an inviting, comfortable feel. This one is definitely a good read.
