Summary

4 Cassettes, 6 hrs.
Performance by Carolyn McCormick

The steamy summer streets of Washington are no match for the phone lines of Fantasy, Inc., where every man's dreams come true. The "hotline" works perfectly for its annonymous clients, and the teachers and housewives who moonlight as call girls...until a brilliant madman plugs in with twisted passion, tracks down "Desiree" and murders her.

A different kind of passion brings Grace McCabe and Ed Jackson together-a passion for each other...and for justice and revenge. Grace, the bestselling mystery writer, is determined to trap her sister's killer, to bait him with the same seductive voice that triggered his deadly lust. Ed, the cop assigned to the case, knows he can't stop her, that he can only protect her.

Somewhere in the darkness, someone is waiting , listening for the voice that will bring him back to the scene of the crime for one last thrill, promising ecstasy-and death.

Classic Nora!

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Although some readers would consider this story dated, I really enjoyed this novel by Nora Roberts. Grace, a crime writer, has decided to take some time off of her tour to visit her sister, Kathleen. Reeling from a recent divorce, Kathleen a teacher by day, and a phone sex operator by night, has become the obsession of a stalker. Grace comes home one night to find her sister raped and murdered. Partnered with her love interest, Detective Ed Jackson, Grace soon discovers that solving crime isn't as easy as it appears in her crime novels. With a few twists and turns, the story comes to a Nora-ish ending that leaves the reader satisfied.

Entertaining Read

Rating: Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

I just finished both Sacred Sins and Brazen Virtue, its sequel. I'm not sure which book I liked best. I thought they were both well written and good reads. I realize these are older books but hate it that Nora Roberts has her characters smoke so much. YUK! I wasn't sure the police would allow the women from both stories to put themselves in harm way to catch a serial killer. Okay it's fiction. Also I thought where there were serial killings the FBI is usually brought in but the local police force was handling it all. I liked both Ben and Ed. I didn't like Grace or Tess as much. I felt both characters always tried to upstage the men in the stories I'm all for independent women and etc but felt like it was over done. Here you have all these professional law enforcement and in both cases, the female lead in the story brings down the killer? Okay, whatever! I would also have liked a little more to the endings of the stories. Ben and Tess's story moves on into Brazen Virtue but Ed and Grace's story just ends as soon as the killer is bought down. I would have liked another chapter or epilogue wrapping things up better. Even though there were some things I didn't like about both books, they were still good reads.

another great book by Nora Roberts

Just like the rest of Nora Robert's books she has found a way to bring her stories to life. I have never read a Nora Robert's book that I did not like.

Another Best by Roberts

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I loved this book because it involved murder, mystery and sex. My favorite. It has a lot of suspence which makes it unable to put down. I am a big Roberts fan, so I enjoy pretty much anything she writes. This is one of the very good ones. You will enjoy.

The sequel to Sacred Sins

Rating: Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

While not quite as catching as Sacred Sins, this book was a pretty entertaining read. Being a romance buff, it was kind of hard to get into the idea of a big, mountain type man with red hair and a red beard being the hero but it was fun to see Ben come back with Tess and he was just as witty as ever. However, Grace and Ed made an fun enough couple, the storyline was interesting but like Sacred Sins, the ending didn't have any bang. Definitely worth a read, especially if you enjoyed the first one.
