Robards, Karen Bait(hardcover)
July 2004 0-399-15202-4 / 9780399152023 Hardcover hardcover w/dustjacket; good
Veteran romance/crime bestseller Robards (Beachcomber; Whispers at Midnight) delivers another hold-your-breath drama, this time starring FBI agent SamMcCabe and advertising executive Maddie Fitzgerald. The sardonic hunk andthe honey-eyed businesswoman are thrown together when Maddie becomes the latest target of a serial killer that Sam and his tubby assistant, E. P. Wynne, have been chasing for weeks, with no success. The body count already stands at six, but Maddie has neither the time nor the inclination to play bait for McCabe's booby trap to catch the killer. She needs the time to win the Brehmer's Dog Chow account (worth $10 million) lest her fledgling St. Louis ad agency go under before the end of the year. (And she has a secret past that she's determined not to share with anyone.) Soon enough, however, McCabe and his team are conducting a surveillance op from within her apartment, and that's when the suspense and romance really start to heat up. ThoughRobards's amorous prose is breathy as always ("His hand was warm and dry,big, long-fingered"; "Oh, god, he had dimples"), her pacing is excellent, and regular infusions of humor keep the story bouncing along between trystsand attacks. This one is sure to please fans.

Robards, Karen Heartbreaker(hardcover)
December 1, 199 0-385-31038-2 / 9780385310383 Hardcover used; both book/jacket very good
When divorced Chicago anchorwoman Lynn Nelson, 35, signs on to chaperone high school students on a horseback riding vacation in the Utah mountains, she views it as an opportunity to bond with her increasingly estranged teenage daughter, Rory. In the prolific Robards's latest romantic tall tale (after Hunter's Moon), what Lynn doesn't count on, besides the bruising realityof actually riding horses, is finding love and stumbling on a plot to blowup the world. When Lynn meets hunky outfitter Jess, both immediately feel astrong antipathy that teeters perilously close to attraction. Matters takea melodramatic turn when an accident separates Lynn, Jess and Rory from their group and they happen upon a presumably deserted mining camp where theyfind themselves plunged into a nightmare. Confronted with a scene of massmurder, pursued by deadly religious cultists, they must depend on one another in order to survive?and to avert global catastrophe, for the cultists plan to detonate nuclear bombs and unleash chemical weapons throughout the world. Perils-of-Pauline chapter endings keep the pages turning, although cliched characterizations?Marlboro Man Jess, overachieving Lynn, annoying teenRory?mar the whole. It's hard to accept that a contemporary career woman who exclaims "Rats! Curses!" when faced with a problem will play a pivotal role in averting Armageddon.

Robards, Karen Whispers at Midnight
July 29, 2003 0-7434-5347-6 / 9780743453479 Mass Market Pa used: very good
Like the junkyard mongrel who plays a pivotal role in the plot, this latestby the prolific Robards is a mix of breeds: Southern gothic, suspense andrough-and-tumble romance. It is sweltering summer when recently divorced spitfire Carly Linton returns to smalltown Benton, Ga., to open a bed and breakfast in the Victorian mansion she has inherited from her grandmother. She, her pet cat Hugo and her formidable business partner, world-class cook Sandra, arrive on a rainy midnight to find the electricity off and evidence of a prowler. When Carly runs screaming away, she is pinned to the ground byhunky Sheriff Matt Converse, who just happens to be in the area. Matt wasCarly's hero in high school, but he treated her the way he treated his three younger sisters-until prom night, when he succumbed to her wiles and regretted it. He ignored her thereafter and 12 years later she hasn't forgivenhim, though she still finds him irresistibly attractive. Persistent harassment by the prowler, who seems to be a stalker, lands Carly a police escort.With Matt following her everywhere, she is mostly safe from violent attack, but must endure Matt's less-than-romantic attentions ("She wasn't the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. Hell, she wasn't even the most beautifulwoman he'd ever fucked"). The appearance of a stray dog dubbed Annie provides comic relief and also yields clues to the stalker's identity-it seems Carly's not the first woman he's targeted. Robards is a lively storyteller, but some readers may be taken aback by Carly and Matt's earthy courtship ("Carly was visited by a moment of extreme thankfulness that... she'd had her

From the moment the American holding the gun jumped in her car, Lora Harding suspected her Cancun dream vacation might not turn out quite as she expected. Her abductor, John Roberts "Max" Maxwell, had shoulders like a linebacker, a handsome face under his faded sombrero, and the audacity to order her to drive . . . or else. The man scared the hell out of her, but his touchexcited her as her staid fiancé's back home in Kansas never had. She readin romance novels about the irresistible "chemistry" between a man and a woman. She just never believed it could happen to a sensible, levelheaded English teacher like her. Determined to learn Max's story and do something wild for once in her life, Lora dared herself to surrender to the desire growing between her and this mysterious man on the run. Now, as intrigue and danger closed in, they raced headlong toward an Eden-like jungle hideout, where Lora vowed to hold on the paradise she found--kisses that left her trembling and a lover who satisfied the secret hungers of a woman's flesh and heart.
