Summary: The Best Thea Devine Has Written
Comment: I found this book exciting, thrilling and wonderful. It was one of Ms Devine's better novels. Ms Devine has always written juicy novels that are on the cutting edge of romance and pure unadulturated sex. Her character Roark is both intelligent and sexy to a fault. He is the type of man any women would love to be romanced by. His shrewd powers of deduction along with his innate sexuality is a force to be reckoned with

Summary: Secret Pleasures
Comment: There is a good story plot if you like murder mysterys. Probably most people do not read erotica for a mystery. Throughout part of the book there was WAY too much sex. It just went on and on and nothing else. It has some rather sick characters and overall there was no love between the sex partners. The ending is rreal strange. But I would recommend.

Summary: Bends all the rules!
Comment: My favorite Thea Devine. Not only is this one wildly erotic, it's also a rarity in the romantic suspense genre - a book so filled with plot twists and tension, that about halfway through you begin to think the unthinkable: the hero and heroine might not end up together! So I'm ashamed to admit, I broke my own cardinal rule and skipped to the last page just to make sure. Otherwise, it would have been downright painful to keep reading. There's no "big misunderstanding" keeping this erotically-charged couple from trusting each other. In fact, her suspicions of him are well-founded. Roak may not be betraying Genelle in exactly the way that she - and we - begin to suspect, but he's definitely decieving her - and since she's paying him a fortune to help clear her of her husband's murder, the stakes are high. Devine masterfully weaves a web of intrigue in this book, keeping the reader almost as much in the dark as the threatened heroine is herself. The only thing we readers know at the outset that Genelle does not is this: her "skilled investigator" was no stranger to Genelle's murdered husband - and he's taking on this assignment for his own reasons, not his client's. The two become lovers, of course (which he has planned from the start) and the sex scenes are as steamy and frequent as fans of Devine have come to expect. But the sexual tension isn't the only tension building as the novel progresses. As Scotland Yard begins to build a compelling case against Genelle, and her arrest for murder begins to appear inevitable, she slowly realizes that nothing is as it seems and that her lover/detective is hiding critical information. In fact, he appears to be using their sexual relationship to distract Genelle from her own investigation. Most chillingly, Roak refuses to either confirm or deny that he has his own agenda...In the hands of a less careful author, it would be hard to believe that Genelle would continue paying her investigator for what amounts to little more than his sexual services. But in Devine's skillfully woven web, Genelle hangs onto Roak because he is all she has. She has no friends, and it seems that everybody who knew her husband - including Genelle's own despicable mother - wants to see Genelle hang for his murder. She is addicted to Roak, for better or worse. And so will you be - if you don't mind tension that will keep you awake until the alarm clock goes off!
