" Love the Donavan series. Each time I finished one, I couldn't wait to read the next, wish there were more!! "
" A little bit of a slow start for me, but a good story overall. Follows suit with the other three books. Wish there was one more coming for the Donovan twins. You really can't go wrong with a hot male lead a lot of action a little smut ;) "
" Really good book, full of suspense and romance. Similar to her other novels, but if you liked any of her other books, I would definately recommend it. "
" I liked this book alot. Really enjoyed Walker's character. Enjoyed the plot about rubies and the many twists and turns. Right amount of romance. "

" Possibly my favorite romance novel. "
" I'm really liking her books. This one is no exception. "
" this is Faith Donovan's story "
" This one was my favorite out of the Donovan series. Great read. "
" Okay, but not great. I like Faith's character, but would have liked more jewelry design elements, given that this was her story, rather than sloppy accidental international intrigue. "
" There were some parts this book that dragged a bit for me, but I could tell that he (Owen) respects her (Faith), which helped me like this book more. "
" Good romance/ thriller by Seattle author. Is part of a the Donovan series. I've read Amber Beach which is also worthwhile. "

" OMG she has done it again!! Elizabeth Lowell and another amazing book! Love the hero and that second love scene......so hot my glasses got frosted over! Great book! "
" Great until the ending, where it felt as if she were just wrapping up the story. Plus....it got a little graphic and I did NOT expect that. Not to say that I had a huge problem with it. I just had no idea that the book would go so far as to detail those certain events. "
" My favorite of the Donovan series. "
" Good book. Really interesting reading about the ruby industry. Got from Chitra. "
" i loved the suspense and the heat. "
" I like books with the setting of the Louisiana low country. I found this one fast-moving, with a lot of local color. The cover with it's black and shiny red design really caught my eye. "
" The whole series is wonderful but Owen Walker is probably my favorite contemporary hero. I LOVE a slow talking Southern man who's not afraid of using a big stick! Just enough of the wounded hero to make it interesting too. "
" Good. Solid read strong and weak parts. "
" I love this series--great info about gems and the business, wonderful suspense, fabulous romance. Must reads for all romance lovers and those also those who enjoy Harlan Coban, John Grisham, Suzanne Brockmann, etc. "
