Summary: Definitely a keeper
Review: Originally published in 1987, Linda Howard tells the story of Kell Sabin (introduced in Midnight Rainbow) and Rachel Jones. Previously published as one of four books chosen for Silhouette's Linda Howard collection (Midnight Rainbow, Heartbreaker and White Lies were the others), it is Linda Howard at her best. Department chief of a group of secret-agent type men, Kell is on vacation trying to pretend he lives a normal life - until he is shot and his boat blown up. Rachel is a former investigative reporter who returned home to Diamond Bay after her husband had died a violent death several years previous. She has finished grieving for her husband and is seemingly content to live alone with her guard dog Joe. As usual, the bad guys are out to get the hero and it is up to the heroine to save him while not getting the both of them killed. With time and a little help from friends, Kell recovers his health, and captures the bad guys. Along the way though he also loses his heart and learns that love is a risk that is worth taking.

Summary: This should be 4 1/2 stars
Review: Story Summary:Kell Sabin is an agent on vacation. He is set up by someone in his organization and is shot. Rachel Jones finds him lying on the beach unconcious. She takes care of him and protects him from the dangerous men hunting him. They both fall in love with each other but he doesn't want to have her hurt because of what he does for a living and ultimately leaves her toward the end of the story. Don't worry it will work out in the end. Now to what I liked about the book. First, I loved Kell Sabin. He's dark and dangerous. He keeps himself from feeling anything for anyone until he meets Rachel. All I can say is that I want to find a guy liked that washed up on the beach. Second, I really liked Rachel. She was sooooo honest. She didn't play games and just told it like it was. When she realized she was in love with Kell she just told him straight up. This book is where you meet John Rafferty and he'll have his own story in Heartbreaker. You also need to read Midnight Rainbow first, then Diamond Bay, Heartbreaker and finally White lies. They all tie into together. Happy reading.

Summary: As Precious as a Diamond
Review: The books was quite intriguing and packed with mystery and action. Rachel seemed to be a capable woman and her love for Kell was very unmistakable. What really drew me to the characters was that there was a sense of purposefulness in Kell's and Rachel's character, not excluding those of Grant and Jane. I just love undercover agents and the mystery that comes with them.

Summary: good, but a reprint
Review: This book is a companion to Midnight Rainbows, White Lies, and Heartbreaker. All of these books are "one-nighters" - you can't put them down until you finish. Just be aware that it is a reprint of an old book. I hate to get excited about a "new" book, only to discover it's just a new cover!

Summary: Interesting...
Review: This is the first book I read by Linda Howard and I quite enjoyed Diamond Bay. It was full of action and mysteries, but it was also very predictable. Recommended if you have plenty of time to kill.

Summary: I wanted more!
Review: This was a fast read. I was hooked right from the beginning. I only wish that more was told of Kell and Rachel's time together.

Summary: Diamond Bay
Review: This was the first Linda Howard book I have read and I found this one really enjoyable. The characters were interesting and well described. The plot was strong and pretty straight forward. However, I was surprised at the amount of sex in this book, not that it was a bad thing. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a really fun and easy read!
