This book is a romance and thriller at once., 29. Dezember 2007

Add in some contemporary shake, and you've got Shadow Dance. I rather liked that the title is a play on Jordan's father's situation (bodyguards shadowing his every step) inadvertently happening to her when she finds the dead body of a historian she's met two days prior in the trunk of her car and her brother Nick and Noah Clayborne, two FBI agents, fly at her aid. Hence, being shadowed by bodyguards of sort. Then Nick has to leave, for matters unknown, and suddenly begins a dance of should-shouldn'ts with Noah even as they try to find the real murderer, who proves to be one heck of a surprise.

This is a great read, and I found it refreshing, witty and intelligent and less tedious than some of her previous works. The writing is fast-paced, which makes sense as this is a thriller as well, and Jordan and Noah's relationship does not bloom quite as suddenly as has been said. Re-reading through it, you'll find that Noah unknowingly had feelings WAY before they even began *cough* dancing. Anyway, hopefully we'll get to read more about Jordan and Noah and their treasure hunt! I would also recommend, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates, go and read it.

       Endlich ist Noah dran!!!, 5. Januar 2007

In Julie Garwoods neuestem und fünftem Buch aus ihrer Suspense Serie um die Buchanan-Geschwister ist diesmal die Hauptperson Jordan Buchanan und sie braucht dringend die Hilfe von Noah Clayborne, FBI-Spezialist und Partner ihres Bruders Nick (wer die ersten Bücher in dieser Serie, z. B. "Heartbreaker" gelesen hat, kennt diese Charaktere schon), als sie im Kofferraum ihres Wagens eine Leiche findet.

Wie immer ein toll zu lesendes Buch von Julie Garwood und für alle die, die darauf gewartet haben, daß endlich Noah seine große Liebe findet - neben einem Killer - wir hier nicht enttäuscht!!!
