Book Description
According to Kathleen, Fantasy, Inc., guarantees its employees ironclad anonymity. But Grace has her doubts—which are confirmed one horrifying cherry-blossom-scented night when one of Fantasy, Inc.’s operators is murdered. As Grace is drawn to help solve the crime, her life turns into a scene from one of her own books. Yet as one of her biggest fans, investigator Ed Jackson, warns her: This isn’t fiction. Real people die—and Grace could be next. For she’s setting a trap for a killer more twisted than anything she could imagine. And not even Ed may be able to protect her from a rendezvous with lust and death.

Entertaining,
By pdxbeautiful "pdxbeautiful" (Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brazen Virtue (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a follow up to Sacred Sins but it stands alone! A very entertaining and suspenseful read.Here you meet Grace, a murder suspense fiction writer who after a long and tiring book tour comes to DC to spend some down time with her sister Kathleen. Her and her sister have never really gotten along and Grace hopes that her straight-edge sister and her can find a common ground. Kathleen has just divorce and lost custody of her son and is trying to make enough money to hire a lawyer to get him back. So full-time teacher, she starts working evenings as a phone sex operator. Grace is more than a bit concern but Kathleen promises that it is completely safe! Ed Jackson just bought the house and lives next door....He is fixing the place inside and out to make it truly a home. He is also a detective. Grace and Ed hit it off but one night after coming back from a date, Grace finds Kathleen in her office murdered. Grace is determined to avenge her sister's death. She believes that the key to the puzzle after a few more women are attacked, is the phone sex business and signs herself up as bait. She know that with her voice being very close to Kathleens, that she can help bring the murderer to justise! Together, they will unlock the secrets and find a home within each other. A fun, thrilling, quick read. I highly recommend this one!

Great Overall but Could Have Developed More,
By
This review is from: Brazen Virtue (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book but it had some underdeveloped sub-plots. The real plot, between Grace and Ed Jackson, is nicely constructed. Their interaction is described from the beginning as Grace liking his bedraggled house that he is redoing, and Ed liking Grace's cheerfulness the first time he saw her while working. The interaction was great till the ending too.I had also liked Tess' character. She's the psychiatrist who ended up analyzing the killer. I liked the juxtaposition of her thoughts with the actual thoughts of the rapist/killer. Roberts wrote a good deal about the psychology of a rapist and how they think they are doing the victim a favor and I thought that was interesting. But there were a few underdeveloped plots. Like I would have liked to know more about the marriage of Kath and her husband, Jonathan. Roberts only devoted a couple short paragraphs telling readers about them. Also, I would have liked to know the reaction of the son, Kevin, to all of these goings on. Readers didn't even get to know Kevin as a character. At the ending when Grace resolved her feelings for Jonathan, Roberts didn't go into what was said. A few chapters before the book ended, Grace said that she would call some other people and maybe Jonathan about Kath but the book ended without telling readers of the phone call so we were left hanging. The book was great overall. It had a fast plot and I didn't have to skim over anything like I usually do if the book gets boring in the middle--which it didn't. This is my first book of the series and I understood everything. It can definitely stand alone as a wonderful suspenseful story. So I recommend it.

Not As Good As Sacred Sins,
By Hanan (Egypt) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brazen Virtue (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book after reading Sacred Sins and enjoying it tremendously. Usually If there is a second book about the other characters in the first book, I have to read it. Brazen Virtue was good, but it was disappointing that Nora Roberts did not go deeper into Ed's character, as I find him quite a fascinating one. With his obsession with healthy food and books, he would have been a lot of fun to get to know better.The book ended too fast for me, as if Nora Roberts poured most of her creativity into Sacred Sins so that little was left for Brazen Virtue. All in all this was a good read, but Sacred Sins was more satisfying that Brazen Virtue
