Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sally Montgomery - divorced from ex detective now PI 'Monty' goes away for the weekend with her employer - he ends up dead and she's on the run. Enter 'Monty' their daughter Devon (a local vet)and the assorted family of the dead employer. The employer is part of the Pierson clan who own and control large areas of food sales/outlets etc., and one of their grandsons James is 'set' to be an olympic showjumper, whilst the other Blake is set to take over the empire when grandfather (who is 80 with a heart condition) is finally laid to rest.
Lots of inter-family politics, a fairly large cast - which in no way interferes with the overall plot, but you can't skim read it or you forget who is on what side!!
There's intrigue in the world of international showjumping, genetic manipulation and doping; blackmail and murder - and there's very hot romance with Devon and Blake and ruthless determination from Monty to save his ex-wife and uncover whatever is going on within the Pierson clan.
There are several strands to the plot which link well and all tie up in the end, the characterisation is excellent with the vast majority of the main characters being strong and purposeful in a believable way.
I haven't looked at anything that Ms Kane is/has published following this (Inever read the first chapter of the next book at the end of a book coz it ends too quick!); I just hope these characters appear again and particularly Devon's brother Lane who appeared very interesting!!!

Pretty good plotting; light on suspense
1 Feb 2006
Format:Hardcover
A heated conversation in a barn between the new man in her life and his father does not really register with Sally Montgomery, but she agrees to accompany wealthy widower Franklin Pierson to a mountain retreat. But when she returns from a walk, she finds Franklin dead, and is knocked out by the assailant, who sets fire to the house and flees.
Now Sally has gone into hiding fearing for her life, and calls on her ex-husband Pete, a former NYPD detective to help her. Hired by the Pierson family to protect his family, Pete gets veterinarian daughter Devon to reluctantly join him in the investigation into the wealthy Pierson family that leads to corruption, drugs, genetics research, and murder.
Devon manages to capture the attention of both prodigal grandsons, who vie for her attention. Though she finds Olympic equestrian hopeful James attractive, it is Blake that sets her pulse running. While James is traveling, she and Blake get more involved, as they work on opposite sides of the investigation.
While not as strong (in terms of plotting and suspense) as some of her previous novels, including the excellent "I'll be Watching You," author Kane captures the reader's attention and manages to do something that few authors can do - surprise us with the revelation of the killer.

Right on!
1 Nov 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a good read with a complex storyline and a lot of players. The ending is a little corny, as romances tend to be, but it's okay, and worth the trip.
The story revolves around Devon Montgomery, a skilled veterinarian, and Blake Pierson, heir to the vast Pierson fortune. Something is foul within the Pierson clan--something with their prize-winning show-jumping horses.
Devon tries to protect her family and save her mother, who has been swept into the drama, while she's drawn toward Blake, who is trying to protect his family and win Devon over. The sexual attraction between these characters is hot, although the sex scenes are not explicit.
A secondary romance brews slowly in the background. Other sub-plots are revealed and explored. As I said, it's a complex story, but the suspense builds nicely and reaches a reasonable and satisfactory ending.
I will read more of Andrea Kane's writing and believe you'll be entertained if you check this author's work out.

Moving Towards The Mainstream!
3 Oct 2006
Format:Hardcover
Sally Montgomery accompanies Fredrick Pierson on a weekend getaway that turns horribly wrong and Fredrick ends up dead, and Sally is left for dead. She runs into the woods and manages to contact her ex-husband and begs him to help her. She has no idea who killed Pierson but she's scared.
Devon is Sally's daughter and when she finds out about the attempt on her mother's life she reluctantly agrees to help her PI father with the investigation. She's a vet not a cop but she wants to bring her mother out of hiding so this looks to be the best choice. She will manage to worm her way into the Pierson family using their combined grief as a vehicle. What she ends up finding is she is drawn to the handsome Blake Pierson but he seems to have secrets and an agenda. Did he have something to do with his uncle's murder? Or does he know who is responsible. Has she fallen in love with the enemy or has she become the target of a killer?
Ms. Kane has penned a strong suspense who-dun nit read with a colorful cast of prospective suspects. I have been a long time fan of Ms. Kane's dating back to her wonderful historicals. She is a very adept storyteller who seems to be making the crossover to mainstream. Still she manages to include the romantic elements in her latest effort that her long time fans will hunger for. Ms. Kane is a must read if you are a fan of the suspense novel.
