Fictional balance, 2008-11-26
Miller's ability to balanced humor with suspense and romance place her in a category alongside Nora Roberts and Ariana Franklin.
One Last Look, 2008-09-23
Just finished this book and couldn't put it down. Miller's style of writing is so cool to read. The character's are one's you will remember! Like that is a murder mystery and a love story.
 One more?, 2008-03-08
I accidentally stumbled upon this trilogy and fell in love with Clare and Sonterra. I love the romance between the two of them, I love the supporting characters that fill their personal and professional lives and I love the sharply written plots that pull the whole thing together. The first two books of the trilogy were absolutely gripping while this one was more entertaining but still a great read nevertheless. When I saw the title though, my stomach fell because I'm not ready to say goodbye to Clare and Sonterra and their goofy friends. Please, Ms Miller, can't you write "One More Look"?!
Liked it alot, 2007-12-27
I really enjoyed this book. The two leads had great chemistry. Clare made me laugh several times with her witty remarks. Tony really seemed to love her and was patient when her insecurities seemed to take over. Some of the action was over the top especially considering she is pregnant but I still enjoyed the story.
An interesting crime novel, 2007-09-27
This is the first time I have read a novel by this author. It is listed as the third novel in a trilogy, but reads fine as a stand-alone novel. I am reviewing the novel based on its own merits (I review novels, not authors). Contrary to statements by other reviewers, I found little similarity between Clare Westbrook and Stephanie Plum (I have read all the Plum novels), and cannot fathom why anyone would think they are similar. OK, so they both have a man in their life, but there are no strange relatives, no second man competing for attention, etc.
Clare Westbrook in an attorney with independent financial means who does a lot of pro bono work. She understands the problems of the people, having come from a lower class background (spending time in foster homes, working as a waitress, etc.). She has moved to Dry Creek with her significant other when he took the job of Chief of Police. She is pregnant with his child. She is familiar with the town from when she was a teenager.
Clare becomes personally involved when she takes a job as an investigator with the sheriff's office. That allows her to carry a badge. The case involves abusive males, two legged coyotes (bringing illegal immigrants across the border from Mexico), and relationships of various kinds. There are a number of side plots intertwined with the main plot. I personally thought the story was well written, and it held my interest and kept me up late. The conclusion has some surprises. Contrary to what one reviewer claimed, I did not think it was predictable.
The novel has some explicit sexual content as well as some amount of violence. I would rate it as AO for Adult Only.
