Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I agree with Kelly
Review: A good book, but the child's incessant baby talk ("I yike twikes") drove me crazy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love among an unlikely pair
Review: After finding disturbing tapes in the office of the man she loved as her father Emma Sands takes her darling three year old daughter and flees New Orleans. Where they end up is almost like a world away.

When Emma accidentally gets off on the wrong island in Washington State's beautiful San Juan Islands she plans to just get her car fixed and take off again. But things don't always go as planned. After an argument with the car mechanic Emma finds herself agreeing to rent a room at a boarding house for one week. That is all she planned to stay.

After Sherriff Elvis Donnelly lost his hand and scarred his face in a Seattle car bombing, he returns to Port Flannery, Washington to become sherriff. Always considered the bad kid in town, Elvis has a hard time finding acceptance. When he first sees Emma he is instantly attracted.

Emma and Elvis's relationship start out on the wrong foot almost immediately and the two clash. Elvis is immediately suspicious that she is running from someone or something. When an incident with his own mother confirms his thoughts he refuses to allow Emma to leave town.

Emma and Elvis fall in love and when the man Emma is fleeing from finally finds her Elvis vows to protect Emma and her daughter Gracie.

I truly enjoyed Emma and Elvis's story and I think you will too. Set just miles from my own hometown I could tell that Susan Andersen definetly does her research. The Pacific Northwest IS a beautiful place to visit, especially in the summertime when the days last until after 9 p.m. Susan Andersen made me yearn for another Pacific Northwest summer and a trip to the islands.

Summary: Good, But Not Her Best.
Review: Emma Sands car needs repairs and she is stuck in Washington State's Port Flannery, a remote fishing village. No one knows her there and it will be a good place for her and her daughter, Gracie, to hide for a few days. Emma is on the run from someone who is determined to ruin her life.

Big city cop, now a smalltown sheriff, Elvis Donnelly, is six foot five and the victim of a violent boyhood and a bomb blast that has left him somewhat handicapped. When he meets Emma, the attraction is instant but, can he keep her safe from her past?

This story is basically a good read with one annoying hitch. And her name is Gracie. Although she is a cute kid, I feel she had too much spotlight in this story. Emma and Elvis' relationship revolved around her. Conversations and love scenes were placed on the back burner because Gracie was around. And I have to agree with other reviewers that her vocabulary was quite extensive for a child just turning three. But if you can get past this, you might enjoy this story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great romantic suspense! Refreshingly different!
Review: EXPOSURE is the first Susan Andersen title I've read, and I'm coming back for more! I've long been a fan of romantic suspense, and EXPOSURE is very satisfying on many levels. The plot line isn't terribly innovative, but the execution is terrific! The characterizations are refreshingly different, even a little offbeat. The dialogue is wonderful, realistic and advances the story line without being forced. The sexually related encounters are fun, poignant, and ring true. All in all, this novel has just made my Top Ten list.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Enjoyed the story
Review: Good plot, interesting characters. I enjoyed the relationship between Emma and her daughter Gracie. Overall, a good story that will entertain you on a beach or rainy day.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nope, not her best...
Review: I agreed that although I generally like this author, this was not her best book. I also agree that Gracie was too central to the story line and that her vocabulary and conversations were not realistic to a 3-year-old. What I also found annoying was the way Emma interspersed her "Cajun" French in her conversations. Although I'm not an expert, I found it unrealistic that she spoke this way. But, on the whole, I did enjoy the book. The story line was, for the most part, pretty engaging.

Summary: WONDERFUL!
Review: I bought my first Susan Andersen book after I saw the cover (Be My Baby). I am so glad I "judged a book by its cover"! Now I am addicted to her books which have all been super. I love the craziness and sexiness of the plots/characters. As usual, I neglected my children for the three days it took to finish Exposure. While I'm swinging them with my right hand, I have her book in my left. SUSAN - PLEASE DON'T STOP WRITING SUCH WITTY WONDERFUL BOOKS!

P.S. I have turned my two sisters on to your books and they read them while on the train going to and from work in Downtown Chicago and find themselves embarassed from laughing out loud unexpectedly.

Summary: Very Good Read.
Review: I enjoyed the depth of characters she created. Elvis and Emma worked through a lot emotional scars to reach a love of a lifetime. I appreciated the way Ms. Anderson used flash backs to tell of each person's history. Didn't weigh down the current plot while informing the reading of where the characters came from.
