Summary: She's on the Killer's List
Review: "Now I know what you look like. So pretty. Too bad I have to kill you." The mysterious caller won't identify himself, but attorney Clare Westbrook knows he's serious, because someone has killed her boss, killed a woman who'd been behind the wheel of her car, killed another who'd been sitting at her desk. She's on the killer's list, no doubt about it. But why? She thinks she knows, because her brother-in-law has just been released from prison and it was Clare's testimony that helped put him away. Clare is convinced he killed his wife, her sister, but there was no body, her sister had just vanished from the face of the earth. But her brother-in-law apparently has an alibi. So if it's not him, who is after her? With ex-lover, police officer Tony Sonterra, she struggles to find a killer, before the killer finds her in this excellent mystery that is a perfect blend of romance and thrills.

Summary: Somebody is Trying to Kill Her
Review: Attorney Clare Westbrook got a loan from Harvey Kredd to go to law school, however, now that she's finished, she has to work it off with his firm at slave's wages. Then somebody puts a bullet through Harvey's eyes and Janet Baylen, Harvey's second in command, takes over running the firm. She hands Clare the Dr. Netherton Case. The Doctor is a non-caring, butchering plastic surgeon who is being sued by a number of woman who are less than happy with his work. Netherton, it seems, has a crush on Clare or at the very least, thinks she'll be easy as the firm is dependent on his money for its survival. So, the professional side of her life has her down. How about the personal side? Years ago her sister vanished and Clare was convinced her husband James Arren killed her. She testified against him, he went to jail and now he's getting out. He's always clamed he was innocent and now he wants to get custody of his thirteen-year-old daughter Emma, who Clare has been raising. Clare doesn't want Arren to even see the girl, but Emma apparently doesn't believe he killed her mother. Yes, it seems like Clare's life is pretty much not going the way she'd like, she's got the horrid doc to defend, any day she has to face the man she knows killed her sister and her niece is being difficult. Add to the mix ex-lover, cop Tony Sonterra, who is investigating the murder of Kredd, a man the cops all called Krudd, because he got so many crooks off. She'd thought Tony was out of her life and now he's very much in it and she's not happy about it at all. But things can only get better, right? Wrong. Clare goes grocery shopping and finds a woman with a bullet between her eyes behind the wheel of her car when she leaves the store. Then boss Janet is killed when she's sitting at Clare's desk. Next she sees a photo of her vanished sister on her computer screen. She's obviously dead. So now Clare knows for sure, but who sent the picture? Naturally she falls into Tony's arms and the book heats up, but we are going to have more murders to deal with before we sleep. And we still have that evil doctor hanging around in the back ground. There is much more, but I think I'll stop here. DON'T LOOK NOW is a combination romance novel, woman in trouble thriller, leaning more to the latter. It's a fast read, but in my opinion there are a few too many bodies to deal with, still I read it in one sitting and any time you can't put a book down, not even to eat, you have to give it all five of the available stars.

Summary: Too Many Plots
Review: Attorney Clare Westbrook's boss is murdered. She's not exactly upset because in addition to his unethical business practices, he also had Clare working off a loan he made to her for law school by her working long hours for low pay. Enter former lover and still chemically combustible homicide detective, Tony Sonterra. In a parallel story, her brother-in-law is released from prison wanting his daughter, whom Clare is raising, back. Part of the plot has to do with finding her sister's murderer. Clare believes her brother-in-law killed her sister even though the body was never found and he was never charged. Someone also trying to kill Clare, but keeps mistaking other people for her. There are entirely too many plots going on at the same time in this book. You have to take an incredible leap of faith to believe this could all go on in a short span of time. Tony and Clare had chemistry and I enjoyed most of their scenes together. Most of the other characters are underdeveloped. Overall, it was fairly preposterous. It's a fairly quick read so if you are a romantic suspense fan, it is not a terrible book, but there are much better ones on the market.

Summary: What a mess
Review: Does this author realize she's allowed to write more than one book? It seemed as if she was trying to include every single plot idea she's ever had within the covers of this one book. A deranged widowed husband, a murdered sister, a homicidal ex-brother-in-law, a slimy cosmetic surgeon who's trying to get her into bed but who's ex-lover is (surprise) a transvestite are just a few of the characters surrounding this dense, clueless attorney. And to top it all off, the father who skipped out on her when she was a baby (but who somehow arranged to finance her legal training through a infamous criminal defense lawyer who holds her hostage professionally) just died and she's the sole living heir to the multi-million dollar estate. Everyone but Clare ends up dead, which is a real shame. This book is a very short three hundred pages with no character development, a transparent plot and no suspense except for how anyone could believe Clare is a hotshot lawyer. And how the author managed to cram it all into only three hundred pages.

Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: I love Linda Lael Miller, except for the vampire series, I have read everything she has written. I was very happy to see this new one and checked it out of the library anticipating a great read. Boy, was I disappointed...the story was fragmented, full of characters that had no background provided for and what little we found out was too brief to understand their place in the story, we weren't given the opportunity to get to know the main character because she was so shallow and confused it was very hard to be sympathetic when she got into trouble. Her "relationship" with the cop was very weird and the sex scenes between them were anything but exciting. We didn't have anything but her narration to go by about their previous time spent together. I wish I could say something positive about the story, characters and the ending but I already wasted enough time just getting through the book.

Summary: Do Read Now
Review: I really enjoyed Linda Lael Miller's latest novel of suspense "Don't Look Now". I was sort of hesitant about the book at first. There's a lot going on. She could probably get three full novels out of this one book. I'm sorry I doubted her though, because she handles it very well. I love the character of Claire, a strong independent lawyer. She is not the typical female lead of a romance novel. And her and Tony's relationship is not typical either. But it is very hot and steamy. I cannot wait for Ms Miller's next book!
