Should have stopped halfway through April 30, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The first half of this book is amazing. The character development is well done - and the sex scenes are hot.
Then about halfway through, the tone changes. Suddenly, we're meeting new characters in new settings. Some scenes (especially ones with Patricia and the SGT and Erin's ex, Mark) seem like they were added to take up space. Even the drama of the love-triangle is gone since we know who Erin picks.
From there, the book plods until then end and the final resolution.
In Too Deep March 9, 2007 EXCELLENT!! Quick read. Keeps your attention. A must read.
A Romantic Mystery to Die For December 26, 2006 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Ronica Black is a relatively new author that shows a lot of promise. Her first two books, including `In Too Deep,' have been really enjoyable. Her characters are likable and believable and her stories are exciting. The reader can guess, but never really knows what's coming on the next page until she gets there.
Here, Black introduces characters Erin McKenzie and Elizabeth (Liz) Adams. Erin is an undercover detective who has been assigned to get cozy with suspect Adams. Erin's home life is rather disappointing. Her husband is having an affair and they rarely see each other. Erin is nothing more to him than a possession to impress his business associates. Fellow detective, Patricia Henderson is tapped to help Erin prepare for this assignment - fitting, because Patricia is a lesbian and so is Liz. In fact, Patty is one of Liz's former lovers. Erin can't recall any feelings toward another woman, but finds herself completely turned on by Patricia's coaching.
Erin finds herself aching by the time she finally meets Liz, but plays the part of an "old fashioned" woman to keep Liz's attentions trained on her. The approach helps with the ultimate solving of the case, but makes things much worse for Erin on a personal level. She struggles with her growing attraction and feelings for the sexually raucous older woman.
This book offers so much for the reader. There is sexual awakening, beautiful women, intrigue, passion, and a lot more. It's a romance and mystery rolled up in one novel. I highly recommend this one to anyone.
Where have you been Ronica Black? July 28, 2006 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'd never heard of her before? I took a chance on a new author because I wanted something new and different. The front and back covers hooked me and I wasn't disappointed.
Her in-depth character development helps to make this a great book. You have to know what makes a character tick and some books are just to superficial.
I love a book which covers many aspects: romance, drama, mystery, action, sex. Oh yeah!
I enjoyed reading her debut novel. I hope to see more of Ms. Black. Her book is a great read and a keeper.
