Review: .... was an excellent start to the professional writing careers of Larry Hobson/Anita Wilson Shaw in the field of adventure/mystery novels. It had all the intrigue, adventure and romance a reader could want. The end was a real kick in the heartstrings! Almost too .... Oooops! Can't give away the ending, now can I? <Chuckle> Am awaiting #2!!

All of the employees on their oil rig in the Persian Gulf were dead-killed by a mysterious virus.While they hunt for a motive, Victoria Manning, a biological warfare researcher hunts for a vaccine to prevent spread of the virus.

Review: I found the book very well written for newcomers and could see this story on the big screen. The action in the book keeps you on the edge of your seat, yes the book could use a little help in a few areas, but some of the well known authors need some help from time to time also. From what I've read about the authors they are new and I do believe we will be seeing more books by them. I think the book is a book worth a read.

Summary: What!!!
Review: If there was ever proof that turgid prose doesn't produce a good book, this is it. The plot consists primarily of a series of accidental motions that manage to endanger the world while the two heroes trip over each other in an attempt to claim sole proprietorship over Victoria Manning's pants.

If you like really, really silly attempts to turn catastrophes into romance novels buy one. I don't. Ewwwww!

Summary: An Intriguing Story
Review: The Day of the Rose is an intriguing book, but what else could it be? When you have sabotage on offshore drilling rigs and bacterial warfare, that's an explosive mixture.

Add to the intrigue not one, but two delightful romances, and you have a book that's difficult to put down. From the first chapter that includes a mysterious first encounter, to the last chapter - an excellent wind up of the story, the book carries the reader from adventure to adventure, from kiss to kiss, and certainly from page to page.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventure, romance and a story that will make them laugh and cry.
