5 Stars good book .......2007-01-28

Very good book higlhy recommend buying it. Dissappointed that shes not writing stories for Justin and Lawe the last two donovan brothers that are twins I might have to boycott buying her books until she comes out with stories for the last two Donovans.

Amazing.......2006-02-19

Lowell just doesn't let her readers down with the lovable Donovan clan. Recommendation: Start with "Amber Beach" and then work your way to this one. See her complete book list and the order in which they go at: www.elizabethlowell.com

You'll be Reading This One Long After Midnight....It's That Good,Sugar!.......2006-01-17

This is the 4th book in EL's Donovan series, and like the other 3 this is a book that is hard to put down. It has plenty of action and the relationship between Faith Donovan and Owen Walker is developed slowly but tantalizing enough to keep you turning pages to see what will happen next between them. I liked Owen a lot. I don't think it mattered that he was a less educated and a smaller man than the other heros in the first three novels, namely Kyle, Jake, and Archer. He was just as smart, just as intelligent, just as sexy,just as honorable, and just as deadly. It says a hell of lot when Archer Donovan trusts you to take care of his little sister. Archer's trust was not misplaced as we find out in the development of the story as he comes to Faith's aid again and again. One of my most favorite scenes was when he met up with Faith's obnoxious and much larger ex-boyfriend. It was hilarious and very well written.

As far as heroines go, Faith was somewhat lacking when compared with the other Donovans. However, she was intelligent, gifted, and sweet; not quite a hot head as her other siblings. However, I think that rich girl Faith did very well for herself with Owen. A guy that put her needs first, in and out of the bedroom. Cudos to EL for bringing us a heroine who needs a little help in achieving fulfillment in the bedroom. After all, I think that most women do.

Why this one didn't get 5 stars you may ask? Mostly, because I didn't like the way EL ended the love story between Faith and Owen. Owen felt very strongly about being reponsible for others; also, I think that he had some reservations about his much lower socio-economic background. I would have liked EL to take them back home and let us in on some real soul searching for Owen before he came to the conclusion that he was ready for being responsible for a wife and family.The rest of the Donovan guys could have helped him along.It would have been a perfect ending to an otherwise great story.

Exciting and Enjoyable..........................2004-12-25

Had to read this book after reading Pearl Cove and enjoying yummmmmmmmy Archer Donovan and his love Hannah. Faith Donovan the youngest sister and jewelry designer and Owen Walker best friend and Ruby expert goes with Faitn Donovan to the Bayous for her best friends wedding and to present her a beautiful Ruby Necklace. But, the Heart of Midnight a giant ruby is lost and a Russian is trying to find it and murder anyone who gets in his way and Faith may be next. I really enjoyed this one. I would like her to write about their twin brothers and the Emerald trade,but I highly doubt it. Looking forward to reading Color in Death by her and all about Sapphires. Read this book it's highly recommend.

My Favorite of Series.......2004-07-24

As series books go, I usually enjoy full length ones. However, with this one I was put off by all the details in Jade Island especially and let this one linger forever in my pile. I shouldn't have put it off, as this one was actually my favorite in the series.
Though there is a lot of detail about Ruby's included, they don't encompass the story so completely as to take away from the romance as Jade did. The characters were well developed and I enjoyed watching Faith and Walker's interactions.
The only thing I didn't like was it seemed to take them forever to act upon their attractions to each other. But still a very good book and as far as I'm concerned, the best of the series for action rather than details!

technical glitz mars otherwise excellent experience.......2006-07-05

In this Elizabeth Lowell audio cassette trilogy, the first two books were uniformly excellent. Not only intriguing in the ways that one would expect Ms. Lowell's
works to be, but the abridgements and narration enhanced the experience rather than detracted from it. What did mar the experience, however, was a faulty cassette
for Book 3, Eden Burning. Alas, I will never know how the two protagonists found
their love and mutual passion amidst the volcanoes of Hawaii because of a faulty cassette! One only hopes that the 3rd book ended as with as much satisfaction as the first two, BUT I'LL NEVER KNOW BECAUSE THE TAPE WAS DEFECTIVE!
