Robards, Karen Bait(hardcover)
Putnam Adult 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 Sam McCabe and advertising executive Maddie Fitzgerald. The sardonic hunk and the honey-eyed businesswoman are thrown together when Maddie becomes the la test target of a serial killer that Sam and his tubby assistant, E. P. Wynn e, have been chasing for weeks, with no success. The body count already sta nds at six, but Maddie has neither the time nor the inclination to play bai t for McCabe's booby trap to catch the killer. She needs the time to win th e Brehmer's Dog Chow account (worth $10 million) lest her fledgling St. Lou is ad agency go under before the end of the year. (And she has a secret pas t that she's determined not to share with anyone.) Soon enough, however, Mc Cabe and his team are conducting a surveillance op from within her apartmen t, and that's when the suspense and romance really start to heat up. Though Robards'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, a nd regular infusions of humor keep the story bouncing along between trysts and attacks. This one is sure to please fans.

Robards, Karen Heartbreaker(hardcover)
Delacorte Press 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 hi gh school students on a horseback riding vacation in the Utah mountains, sh e views it as an opportunity to bond with her increasingly estranged teenag e daughter, Rory. In the prolific Robards's latest romantic tall tale (afte r Hunter's Moon), what Lynn doesn't count on, besides the bruising reality of actually riding horses, is finding love and stumbling on a plot to blow up the world. When Lynn meets hunky outfitter Jess, both immediately feel a strong antipathy that teeters perilously close to attraction. Matters take a melodramatic turn when an accident separates Lynn, Jess and Rory from th eir group and they happen upon a presumably deserted mining camp where they find themselves plunged into a nightmare. Confronted with a scene of mass murder, pursued by deadly religious cultists, they must depend on one anoth er in order to survive?and to avert global catastrophe, for the cultists pl an to detonate nuclear bombs and unleash chemical weapons throughout the wo rld. Perils-of-Pauline chapter endings keep the pages turning, although cli ched characterizations?Marlboro Man Jess, overachieving Lynn, annoying teen Rory?mar the whole. It's hard to accept that a contemporary career woman w ho exclaims "Rats! Curses!" when faced with a problem will play a pivotal r ole in averting Armageddon.

"Frankenstein" as she will call him, is none other than the infamous Steve Calhoun, a former detective who is now on the run not only from drug dealers but also from the ghost of Deedee, his former mistress, w hose purported suicide in his office was the cause of his very public disgr ace and divorce. Convinced that Deedee was murdered, Steve had been investi gating her death when he stumbled on the drug dealers-crooks who have day j obs on the Tennessee State Police force. As Steve continues to outwit their pursuers, Summer begins to see beyond his rough exterior. Grudging respect becomes mutual admiration and, eventually, love.

Robards, Karen Whispers at Midnight
Pocket Star 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 latest by the prolific Robards is a mix of breeds: Southern gothic, suspense and rough-and-tumble romance. It is sweltering summer when recently divorced sp itfire Carly Linton returns to smalltown Benton, Ga., to open a bed and bre akfast in the Victorian mansion she has inherited from her grandmother. She , her pet cat Hugo and her formidable business partner, world-class cook Sa ndra, arrive on a rainy midnight to find the electricity off and evidence o f a prowler. When Carly runs screaming away, she is pinned to the ground by hunky Sheriff Matt Converse, who just happens to be in the area. Matt was Carly's hero in high school, but he treated her the way he treated his thre e younger sisters-until prom night, when he succumbed to her wiles and regr etted it. He ignored her thereafter and 12 years later she hasn't forgiven him, though she still finds him irresistibly attractive. Persistent harassm ent 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 mos t beautiful woman he'd ever seen. Hell, she wasn't even the most beautiful woman he'd ever fucked"). The appearance of a stray dog dubbed Annie provid es comic relief and also yields clues to the stalker's identity-it seems Ca rly's not the first woman he's targeted. Robards is a lively storyteller, b ut some readers may be taken aback by Carly and Matt's earthy courtship ("C arly was visited by a moment of extreme thankfulness that... she'd had her
