1: Sleeping with Strangers
this book was so awesome! i couldn't wait to read the sequel. I just started reading it and it's a page turner!!!!!

2: Sleeping With Strangers
I so wanted to not like this book. As I read page after page, I kept saying to myself, "I don't like this story." Guess what I said when I got to the end? "OK, Dickey, you won me over."
This is not your usual Dickey relationship drama. Central character, Gideon, is a hit-man whose latest caper takes him overseas in search of his next target. Dickey cleverly brings back a character from the past - Arizona - who I vaguely remembered from Thieve's Paradise (Dickey says she was in Drive Me Crazy, too, but I don't remember her from that one) and creates a story that is full of non-stop action and a few suspenseful moments.
I have to admit, as much as I didn't want to like this story, I have to give Dickey props for this creation. It did remind me of Thieve's Paradise in that it wasn't so much about relationships as it was about action and adventure. Have no fear, there are some "adult moments" intertwined - what's a Dickey story without them? I sure hope my library has Waking With Enemies because I have to read how this plays out.

3: Gideon is the MAN!!
I truly loved this series! I really didn't have much interest in this glaring deviation from EJD's usual subject matter when it first came out - but boy, was I wrong!! I did the audiobook for this one and the narrator's excellent and multi-faceted presentation of the material is what made a good book a great book, in my opinion. His narration style effectively communicates and maintains the mysterious and intriguing element of the story and perfectly conveys the complexity of the Gideon character. Even though Gideon kills people for a living, you actually find yourself rooting for the guy. He's, like, the black Golgo 13!!
I liked "Waking with Enemies" too. And though I thought the erotic "scenes" drew on a little too long, EJD did a pretty decent job of bringing a satisfying closure to the story. Once again, the narrator(I did the audiobook for this one too) puts on a dazzling presentation, making the story more enjoyable than the conventional version. More Gideon!!

4: SLEEPING WITH STRANGERS
Eric has done it again he has taken writing to a whole new level. I must say I enjoyed reading both books this one and the sequil Waking with Enemies. Once I started reading I didnt want to put it down...I would love to meet Gideon. :)

5: Save your money!!!
EJD must've really needed money. This book was horrible...the story line (if you would call it that)had very little dialogue, lacked substance, advanced extremely slowly, and kept putting me to sleep. Vital details that could've have been explained in the beginning were not brought out until the very end...My guess is that he EJD wanted to get more money by stretching this story into two books when both SWS and WWE could've been edited down into one book. Don't waste your money. I bought both books at the same time and don't plan on reading the second.
