Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Hinze (Acts of Honor) has crafted a diverting, romantic thriller. Dr. Julia Warner-Hyde can't seem to escape the clutches of her abusive ex-husband, Karl, who nearly killed her three years before. Even in prison, Karl's threats are still real. When Julia's old lab partner, the kind and handsome Dr. Seth Holt, seeks her out in Grace, the small Alabama town in which the former rocket scientist is now teaching the first grade, she is torn. Should she risk leaving the safety of Grace to secure a top-secret project (the details of which may have been leaked to the highest bidder)? Julia knows that Seth's concern that millions of Americans' lives could be lost is not an exaggeration, but she is unsure whether she can trust him. How can she avoid explaining why she disappeared three years ago without a word? Will the Two West Freedom Coalition, a well-funded terrorist organization, manage to obtain the final pieces to the advanced technology that would allow it to hold the U.S. hostage? And will Karl find her? These questions interspersed throughout Julia's thoughts as she goes on with her day-to-day dutiesAare answered in the novel's exciting plot. (Oct.)

Another MUST read from Hinze!,
By
This review is from: All Due Respect (Mass Market Paperback)
I first discovered this wonderful author in a chat on America Online where she shared her wisdom with a group of writers. I read SHADES OF GRAY and absolutely loved the complicated twists and turns of the plot with the romance subplot going on at the same time.ALL DUE RESPECT doesn't disappoint. It's written with the same engaging style and intelligence as SHADES OF GRAY. Vicki Hinze's strength is her characters. I care about what happens to them. The plot is suspenseful and carries the reader along as well. I highly recommend this book and I don't say that often these days. Good job, Ms. Hinze! I can't wait for the next release.

Enjoyable Read has emotion and action,
By A Customer
This review is from: All Due Respect (Mass Market Paperback)
Ms Hinze is right up there with Ludlum, Kellerman, and Koontz (without the supernatural stuff). Her stories are edgy and exciting. The biggest difference is that she brings in a strong emotional element like the fact that the woman in this story was a victim of domestic violence. Someone looking for all action and no characterization might give this a 4 instead of a 5 but its the characters and what makes them tick that makes Ms Hinze's book extra extra special. I've already preordered her next novel and can't wait to read it.

Frustrating and annoying,
By A Customer
This review is from: All Due Respect (Mass Market Paperback)
I just finished this and I can only agree with Jayzie1. I just wish I had listened. The only reason I even finished this was because it was the only book I had taken with me on a trip. Don't waste your time or your money. The plot was illogical and annoying. The heroine was supposedly a genious who had disappeared from her highly secure position three years earlier. She is then recruited back into the most secret R&D facility in the country?! As the boss, no less!! She is constantly agonizing over if she should tell the hero about her abusive ex-husband or not (a good third of the book seems to be devoted to this). This is definitely not worth your time or your money.
