MILLS & BOON - ROMANCE
Oriel, a primary school teacher(with stunning model looks), was rescued from a flash flood by the rich and super sexy Blaize Stephenson. The inevitable chemistry develops and while she is recuperating in his residence on a private island, he also ensures her continued presence by enlisting her aid as caretaker for his orphaned niece and nephew.
Life goes on with Blaize being his masterful self and Oriel fighting her growing love for him. Meanwhile she also gets attached to the children. Things come to a head when Blaize gets angry over her friendship with a certain french man of his acquaitance and Oriel decides she had had enough...
Finally Blaize acknowledges his love for her and life is bliss....
The story when summarised, is nothing that regular romance readers havent read before..But the greatness is in the narration and Robyn Donald is a favourite author. I have many of her books in my collection like the Golden Mask, Tiger eyes, The darker side of paradise. I have read many more of her works and have never been dissatisfied so far.

Charades - Jasmine Cresswell (Comment)
MIRA - FICTION
I have read a few romance books of Jasmine Cresswell and I have liked them.But this books is actually a suspense thriller, though it failed to thrill me overmuch.
Abigail Dean realises that she is in danger when she gets a threatening call, even when the bank manager she was supposed to meet and her newly discovered half-brother ended up dead with the same bullet.
Fortunately for her, her hero Steve Kramer lives in the apartment above her and he also does his best to try and get himself killed along with her.
The killer is revaled to be a long-forgotten mistress of Abigail's father and finally gets killed while her accomplice detonates the dynamite meant for Abigail and Steve.
For a lady who embezzeled a bank and sets up two fall guys, kills Abigail's bogus half-brother, and two bank officials, stalked her and contrived to get duplicates to her keys, enters her home and leaves nearly unnoticed, managed to procure a devoted, much younger lover cum accomplice etc, she just walked coveniently under an avalanche due to the explosives she set up to kill Abigail and Steve....
Lame...
