I never got around to reading this Suzanne Brockmann book when it was first published in 1996 as a Loveswept category romance. I did finally take the opportunity to read Kiss and Tell (Book 1 in the Sunrise Key Trilogy) and thought it only okay.
The book's heroine, Leila Hunt who is an accountant from New York, comes home to Sunrise Key for a much needed vacation to visit her brother. Marshall Devlin, the hero in the book, is a doctor and also happens to be Lelia's brother's best friend and has always bucked heads with Leila, but in reality, has always had a crush on her. When Leila's brother hosts a New Year's Eve party, Leila gets a bone-melting kiss from a ninja (did I say this was also a costume party?) when the clock strikes midnight then has to promptly leave. Since she has no idea who this mystery man is, she makes it her task to find the man who gave her that wonderful kiss that she couldn't forget. It's a little hard to do since she seems to know almost every man on the island!
I have to say, sometimes these category romance books drive me crazy! Can someone who is supposedly as smart as Leila really not realize who would have given her that kiss? Knowing that the man who she thought she could never consider was actually her masked ninja?
I'm glad Suzanne Brockmann moved the greener pastures and decided to write romantic suspense with her Troubleshooter series. Those books are definitely more enjoyable!
Keep on Reading...
