Kit is an insurance investigator setting up a sting operation on a known jewel thief who has cost her employers lots of money - Beau is not the villain but he is masquerading as his cousin. When Beau is stung Kit risks losing her job and when she is shot it looks more dangerous so Beau decides to look after her whilst together they find the culprit.

Disengage your brain and enjoy an easy to read romance set in and around New Orleans. The descriptions of the area are good and atmospheric. As books of this type go it is good enough and cetainly enjoyable. There are a few sex scenes but nothing too explicit and some rather sexy scenes (the casino and the dress for example) which do not involve intimacy. The mystery element of the story is not huge as there are very few characters to choose from so it is obvious quite soon who has done what. This book would have been improved by a little more time spent on a few sub-plots and developing the stories of the minor characters including Beau's family to round it out a bit.

I was disappointed, however, that the author required Kit to give up all her ambitions to achieve real love. She does show that it is Kit's decision and that Beau is also prepared to change for her but in the end she gives up everything she initially thought was important to be his consort. It would have been nicer to see compromise rather than capitulation.

An enjoyable, light and easy read.

Nina Bruhns: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN 29 Jan 2002
By kate hofman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The story is, as with all Nina Bruhns's books, essentially simple. This writer does not need exotic locales, unusual circumstances, unlikely coincidences, famous brand-names and all that, to sustain our interest. She is far too good a writer for that.
Here, the story is that of an insurance investigator (Katherine (Kit) Colfax), who plans a sting to catch a man (Remi Beaulieux) whom she believes to be guilty of jewellery robberies. When she succeeds in interesting him in a no-dealer, invitation-only backroom game in a Las Vegas hotel (c'm on! Vegas isn't exotic!) - and loses a sapphire necklace in the process, to make the sting possible - it turns out that the man to whom she lost the necklace was not Remi, but his look-fairly-alike cousin, Simon ("Beau") Beaulieux, who is Chief of Police in his home-town of Verdigris, LA. It is a great pleasure meeting the Louisiana aristocrat; Ms. Bruhns's French is impeccable, and she has hit upon a most charming manner to translate the French for us without appearing to do so. A man such as Beau is obviously fluently bilingual, therefore it is entirely natural for him to think in a mixture of the French of his ancestors, and English. Ah, Nina Bruhns - you're one helluva writer!
It is a joy to watch Kit and Beau get together, and it is a measure of this gifted writer's art that she sweeps us, with effortless grace, into scenes of such emotional depth that it is impossible not to feel a frisson or two. In the first great love-scene, Ms. Bruhns keeps this going, with deceptive ease, for some ten pages!
Using seemingly simple language, never overwriting, she succeeds in building an emotional tension that is tangible, and one feels that perhaps one has trespassed upon an intensely private moment.
Of course, Kit and Beau disagree vehemently about Remi's alleged guilt, yet, in spite of it all, they feel such a deep attraction for each other.
On the lighter side, there are some highly enjoyable scenes in a disreputable roadhouse deep in Bayou country; then she effortlessly takes us back to some deeply moving love-scenes in Beau's rooms at Terrebeau, and al fresco in the moonlight.
And always Ms Bruhns maintains a seemingly unsustainable tension between the two. Beau, who wants Kit to be with him forever, slowly realizing he wants her to be his wife; and Kit who believes that all she really has going for her in life is her job, her condo in New Orleans, and her determination not to depend on any man (Ms Bruhns briefly sketches for us an unhappy experience Kit had years earlier.
This exceptionally talented writer succeeds in bringing Kit and Beau together in an unusual, but entirely believable way - and if you want to know how she does this, then do yourself a favour and buy this book! Trust me, you will love every page of it.
Amazon still shows some copies available - Hurry! and get one.
You'll thank me!

Pure Southern Sizzle 20 Mar 2000
By Christine Shaw - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed everything about this book. From the attractive cover and title to the very last page. I don't read every SIM but after reading the reviews for this book, I decided to buy it. I'm sure glad I did. The characters were well developed, the love scenes between Beau and Kit are HOT and their teasing sexual banter is erotic and refreshing. Add to that a truly good story, a beautiful Southern plantation and an old Civil War family legend. Don't miss this one. I look forward to more books from Ms. Bruhns and hope she will consider writing cousin Remi's story soon.

Catch Me If You Can 8 Feb 2000
By Kathy Boswell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This debut book by Nina Bruhns is not a book to be missed. This book had so many sizzling scenes I thought it would catch fire.

Kit Colfax works for an insurance company. She almost always gets her man even if she does have some risque ways of going about it. Her boss has given her one more chance to redeem herself or she's to be shown the door. Now she's on the trail of a jewel thief. She's tracked him down to Las Vegas and has only one more chance to nab him. She has jewels and a sexy expensive dress.

Simon "Beau" Beaulieux is in Las Vegas too. He's there to track down his elusive black sheep cousin Remi. Remi, it seems, has made off with the family jewels. Beau has to catch him before his dying grandmother finds out about the theft.

Now, picture, if you will, Kit and Beau meeting over a poker table. Kit mistakenly thinks that Beau is the jewel thief she's after. They are down to just Beau and Kit at the table and Kit makes a reckless bet. She bets her expensive dress. Whoops, she loses!

Before it's all said and done, Kit has followed Beau down to San Deigo looking for Remi. She's shot in the arm and now Beau has decided that he has to protect her. Then there's the story of the legend......

This was one of the hottest, sexiest books I've ever read. The sparks between Kit and Beau fairly burn holes in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading many more books from Nina.
