1: Steamy, sexy and deep
A solid 4 1/2 stars. This book is so good. Tami Hoag creates a heroine and hero with such complexity and depth that the story immediately draws you in. I really loved it. Hoag is such a wonderful writer. As in some of her other novels, the bayou setting works so well within this book. It really adds an element to the suspense that otherwise might not have been there. It truly is a great read.

2: great book
This is my 1st Tami Hoag book. I thought this story was great. Granted it is a love story, with some suspense. But the developement of the characters is wonderful. They are all disfunctional with lots of baggage and then to see how both Laurel and Jack (especially Laurel)get stronger
as the book progresses. All the time I kept trying to guess who the killer was, and pretty muched guessed who it would be before it was revealed. I love any story that takes place in the south, especially bayou country. I didn't want this one to end. Cant'w wait to read another of her books.

3: Waste of some my nights
I thought she should have spent more time in South Louisiana reserching for this book. First of all resturants around here do not sell Rhubarb pie. At the very least she could have used real "Cajun" last names along with the names of towns and Parishs. There is nothing "Cajun" about this book. As far as the story goes I am still wondering why "Jimmy Lee" was even included in the story, or the fight between Savanah and Annie. The way that Hoag would describe items, places or individuals went way beyond then what was necessary. Jack felt sorry for himself, not deserving of anything the entire book, what a bore that was. Laurel, what a pity she was wanting to cry at every turn. This the second Hoag book I have read and it will be the last.

4: A Very Annoying Heroine
This was my first book by this author and I was very disappointed. While she does get a A++ for her research of the locale and Cajun dialect, I found the heroine , Laurel Chandler to be very annoying. If she was going to rehash her past experience as a DA and the case that lead to her downfall one more time I was ready to put the book in the trash. I wanted to scream, Get Over It and Move on! The rest of the characters , including Jack (who I failed to find appealing or sexy) were fair to midland. I found myself intrigued with what the handsome DA Steven was wearing. His wardrobe sounded straight from GQ. So much for the story!

5: Tami, Tami, Tami...sigh
I have read a number of books by Tami Hoag and have pretty much enjoyed them all. Some I have enjoyed more than others, but generally, it is pretty safe to pick up one of her books and expect a good work with interesting characters and heroes and heroines you might actually care about. Laurel and Jack are difficult to care about. Since when are charm and obnoxious the same thing? Jack (es-corporate lawyer - what a hoot) and Laurel (Wallowing in self pity and self martyrdom-Get over it! Watch Law & Order. Even Jack McCoy loses a case now and then) Savannah? Let us not go there. She was so completely unlikable...I think the only mystery is why someone hadn't killed her earlier. I kept going in this book only because of Hoag's other works. This one was the earliest work by her that I have read. You know what this means, right? This is one of her Prior Bad Acts. Sorry. Anyway, this is not her best work. Had this been the first Tami Hoag book I had read, I would have not tried another. Fortunately it was not the first for me.
