3.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly absorbing 1 Oct 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is the first in a series and was suprisingly well written for a novel of its genre. I'm not a great fan of Silhouette romances. The overplayed themes of unresolved love and the great hardships that mysteriously befall protagonists in these kind of novels are very irritating. Rachel Caine succeeds in engaging my interest by focusing on the interpersonal dynamics of a small but well crafted group of characters, headed by the feisty Jazz, never Jasmine, Callender who is the quintessential female P.I. As you would expect, beneath her tough cookie exterior beats the requisite heart of gold of course but I believe Caine carries off the characterisation quite well. The plot is not as predictable as usual, however is not very well crafted and is definitely most unbelievable. But to be honest, if well-plotted suspenseful drama is what you're after, a romance novel is seldom going to keep you enthralled. If you just ignore all references to the Cross Society you'll enjoy the book a lot more!
With regard to romance, the relationship between Borden and Jazz is cute and entertaining and the author has allowed herself lassitude to develop it properly by planning the 'Red Letter Days' series. I'm not so sure about the plausibility of a budding love between Lucia and McCarthy but am willing to reserve judgement until the next installment. I hope to see more from this group of Kansas City misfits. Especially Manny Glickman!

4.0 out of 5 stars very enjoyable 1 Jan 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Wel I never expected to be reviewing a Silhouette Bombshell.
I got it because I had enjoyed her Weather Warden series
which is not marketed so directly at romance readers.
and ordered it with out knowing its publisher/market.

So no I am definately not the target market.
What I found was well written with some excelent one liners and
the occasional plot hole. Twice we are told simply that they thought of something convincing to tell the police. when she might as well have written "with one bound he was free"

But so what its not a police procedural. Its got a good cast a believable romance a fun and adventureous plot.
It seems this 45 year old man will be reading the next in this series even if it is a Silhouette Bombshell.

The 1st Book in the Red Letter Series, followed on by Devil's Due.

'Jazz callender - don't ever call her Jasmin - is an ex-cop with a goal: opening her own private detective agency and proving her former paterner is innocent of murder. Too bad no one will lend her the money. Until a sexy lawyer with the devil's own grin appears with an offer she can't refuse...

$100,000. A savvy new partner. And an agreement to make any case arriving via red envelope a top priority. But if Jazz accepts, there's no turning back. Because once she opens that envelope, all hell's gonna break loose...'

Lucia and Jazz are two great kick ass charachters, and i would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone. If you like Kim Harrison, Kelley Armstrong and Charlaine Harris, i am sure you will love this series.

BUY IT!
