But this time Jamie Swann leaves her something too many people will kill for. Out of her league and desperate, Laurel is forced to accept help from the very man who is trying to ensnare her father in his own web of double crosses. Cruz Rowan can help her stay alive, but will he do the same for her father? Elizabeth Lowell, writing as Ann Maxwell, deftly combines the nonstop action of a spy thriller with the heart-pounding excitement of true love and adventure. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - somewhat predictable, but still a good suspense storyI borrowed the unabridged audio version of this book from my library. This audio did make long commute pass quickly. Unlike some of the other audiobooks I've listened to, it did not make me wish to stay in the car to find out what happens next. Also, the narrator can make or break the listening experience - this narrator was excellent. She used the just the right tone for each character. Other reviews, including the editorial review have described the plot well enough, that ... Read More Rating:  - WhirlpoolAn exciting read with fast moving action. It has an alpha male as the hero and a strong female for the heroine. The action keeps going with a wide range of characters whose motives are never pure or obvious until the end. It all ends very romantically. However I was disappointed that it was not the new novel that I had anticipated. I had read the book some years ago under its previous title of 'Ruby'. The fact it was a rewrite was not made clear when I saw the book advertised. Rating:  - Not awful, not greatI knew from reading the back cover of this book that it was a "reworking" of an earlier release, so I was expecting it to be a little out-of-date, and it was. What I didn't expect was that half the novel would center on a great romance, and the other half would be a crude, vulgar exploration of the "bad guys" in the story. The book spends as much time telling the stories of three different sets of villains as it does telling the story of the two supposedly main characters. Frankly, I don't pick up ...

Read More Rating: - re-print of The Ruby by Ann MaxwellAs others have stated. This is a re-print of a book published in 1995 and 1999. This is a trend that is starting to really make me mad. This isn't the first time I've bought a book in the last 2 years only to find it's one that I've read under a different title and/or author. In some cases I now have 2 copies of the same book. If I'm lucky when I get one of these, the author has updated the book to reflect current events. But this is something that is becoming really frustrating. The last year, ... Read More
