Lorna22 (USA: NJ) (2013/06/06): Sandra Brown is always a must read, and while this book was a good read, it wasn't my favorite book of hers. The mystery/suspense was well written, but the connection between Remy and Burke just doesn't work. I never felt the chemistry and emotional intensity that is so important. Ann Stoudt (USA: HI) (2021/08/02): Burke Basile is a cop with nothing left to lose. Responsible for his partner's death, his marriage and his career over, he focuses on his nemesis, Pinkie Duvall, a flamboyant attorney who helps killers evade justice. Burke's shocking revenge centers around kidnapping Remy, the lawyer's trophy wife. But Burke hasn't planned on the electric attraction he'll feel for this desperate woman, who rose from the slums of New Orleans to marry a man she can never love. Nor could he have ever predicted the fierce duel that will explode amid the Mardi Gras madness, as the clock ticks toward midnight on Fat Tuesday -- when all masks are stripped away, and Burke must confront his own ugly secret.
