Summary: Ms. Albert is at her best.....
Review: Somewhere along the line I read that Michelle Albert likes to write romances where the girls get to have all the fun. And I would say she definitely achieves that goal in this book. Before I go any further, let me also say that if you can get your hands on a copy of "Absolute Trouble" (written as Michelle Jerott), read this too. It was great to catch up with some of those characters in this book.

Jack and Diane's story has it all - chemistry that sizzles right from the start, my favorite New Orleans locale, interesting and refreshing story line that hasn't been used over and over again - and what makes that so good is the author's background in archaeology. Will Diana get her man? Oh yeah...from the moment Diana walks in to Jack's office, the game begins, and doesn't let up until the end. Can't wait to see what she has in store for Detective Halloran!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great read!
Review: The absolute best combination: interesting and fun characters, mystery plot (but not too heavy), snappy dialog, and hot, hot love scenes. I've read A LOT in this genre and I definitely recommend this book and writer as being up there with the best: Sandra Brown, Jennifer Crusie, Linda Howard, etc. I highly recommend this book, especially if you liked, e.g., "Welcome to Temptation."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get This Book!
Review: This book pushed all my buttons! Great Locale (N'awlins is one of my favorite places)! Well developed Characters (gotta love a hero with smarts)! Snappy Dialogue! Sizzling chemistry between Jack and Diane! And last, but not least, interesting subject matter - Mayan and Egyptian antiquities. What's not to like? This book was just a great escape from beginning to end. Can't wait for Detective Halloran's story.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Good Read By Ms. Jerott Oh I Mean Ms. Albert!
Review: This was another good story by Ms Jerott. In it you will meet some old friends from her previous story Absoulute Trouble, and some new friends as well. This is a fast page turning story with witty dialogue, great sexual tension between the main characters, and an interesting topic for the background of the story. Set in one of my all time favorite places New Orleans Louisiana, you will get plenty of discriptive narration that helps set the scenes for the story. Those of you who have read this author before will not be let down, and for those of you who have not yet read a story by Ms Jerott/Albert are in for a treat!

Summary: exciting romantic suspense
Review: Through an intermediary, antiquities collector Steven Carmichael hires New Orleans-based private investigator Diana Belmaine to recover a stolen Egyptian Eighteenth Dynasty artifact. The object is an alabaster box with Nefertiti's name on it containing a lock of hair that Carmichael believes belonged to the legendary Queen. Diana wonders about the legitimacy of ownership. However with the high fee and the potential for her sleuthing reputation being praised, Diana is persuaded to accept the case.

Since the purloined item was probably stolen during a party thrown by Carmichael, Diana uses the attendees' list as a starting point. This leads her to Tulane University where she meets Mayan expert Dr. Jack Austin, a beneficiary of grants from Carmichael's Ancient Americas Preservation Society. Diana quickly believes the renowned professor (People Magazine, Discovery channel) is the thief, but cannot fathom why he would steal from the hand that feeds him. As Diana and Jack duel in a game of wits, their initial attraction blossoms into something stronger, but though they share a passion for Cocoa Krispies and one another, she repudiates her love for the handsome probable felon.

This is an exciting romantic suspense that grips the reader due to the delectable relationship between the lead characters that grips the audience from the moment Diana visits Jack in his college office. The story line focuses on the game of chess played on several levels between the professor and the sleuth. Though why Diana concluded that Jack was as a good a thief as an archeologist seems stretched, fans of an exciting intrigue will gain pleasure with Michele Albert's terrific GETTING HER MAN that will surely get her new readers.
