Silhouette Sensation
Guess detail summaries will have to wait...
My life is too hectic right now to handle summarising books too, but still I can give my comments on the books I have read.......
This ia a book about a private investigator Angus and a lady who wanders into his life. She is shot by someone and has amnesia. Since she is a babe, the guy takes her home where he lives with his 7 year old daughter Vicky.they all get on famously, find the villain, and the lady Rebecca gets her memory back and becomes a permanent member of Angus's family.
Story is one I have read any number of times, but the narration is great.

Seizure - Robin Cook (Comment)
PAN Books
A book that deals with the disastrous consequences of mixing politics, religion and bioscience.
I have read majority of Robin Cook books of which Outbreak, Mindbend and Coma are my favourites. It is my personal opinion that tis book did not come anywhere near those.
I expected more from the book. :|)

To Marry a Stranger - Renee Roszel (Summary)
MILLS & BOON - ENCHANTED
The Enchanted Brides - trilogy - Part 1
The trilogy is about the three sisters.... Elissa, Lucy and Helen Crosby. Their Crosby Inn is in the neighbourhood of the D'Amour mansion, whose absentee owners are roumoured to be living in Europe.There is a charming myth surrounding this mansion and it plays an important part in the lives of the Crosby sisters.
Legend says that the mansion is enchanted and that an unmarried woman who sleeps within it's walls on her birthday, when there is a full moon, would marry the first man she sees in the morning.
Helen, the youngest of the Crosby sisters and the most romantic, sleeps in the D'amour mansion on her twenty-first birthday...and of course there is a full moon...she encounters a scarred, limping, one-eyed stranger and runs for her life.
Later she realises that the man she had seen in the mansion was Damien Lord, news reporter extraordiaire, who had injured himself trying to rescue a small child. She takes it upon herself to help the man recuperate and blackmails him into her home with threats of disclosure of his whereabouts.
Helen realises that he was the man she had first seen after fulfilling the conditions of the myth, and despite realising that their differences are insurmountable, falls in love with him. Damien Lord finds himself slowly drawn into the warmth and loving comfort of the Crosby inn and the three sisters.
She practices tough love and shames Damien back into his own world when she finds out that he did not have the confidence to face his old society after losing his looks. Her sacrifice pays off and Damien gets readmitted into the media world and is touted America's sexiest Man...
And one fine day in April, imprisoned by her sisters into watching his news telecast, she receives her proposal from Damien on TV and then in person, a few minutes later.
So the Myth worked for Helen...what about Lucy and Elissa??????

About trilogies - (Comment)
I really love trilogies or more than three books on memebers of a family , or just othr characters who appeared in other books...gives one a feeling of recognition, of really being a part of the lives of the fictitious characters....
That's another reason I really love Nora roberts, Renee Roszel, Day Leclaire etc...they are experts at creating this sort of connections...
The best thing about these books is that they are all great individually, but to just have read the whole set is amazing...!!!!
And to demonstrate the fact, I plan to summarise the trilogy of Enchanted Brides by Renee Roszel....
I'll be awaiting your comments after you get a taste of reading a trilogy.......
