Book CoverLauraD's review of Playing Dead (Prison Break, Book 3) by Allison Brennan
Romantic Suspense released by Ballantine 30 Sep 08

I was quite happy to find Allison Brennan's Playing Dead in the Big Box of Books that Sybil gave me. I'm a huge fan of romantic suspense, and I've enjoyed Ms. Brennan's work before, so my expectations were quite high when the cat and I became one with the couch. Read more

I never thought I'd long for the good ol' days, when the only part of a Brockmann novel that irritated me was the WWII flashback sequence.

Instead there were 4 different plot lines, one of which finally finished off a love triangle that probably has some fans howling with betrayal. Oh, and remember Sam's ex-wife MaryAnne? She's back, re-incarnated as Izzy's new love interest. Kidding. Sorta. Read more
