4.0 out of 5 stars A great "ahah" moment for the hero!, Oct 2 2000

By Laurie Gold "bookie" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Chain lightning (Mass Market Paperback)

Elizabeth Lowell's Chain Lightning is one of her better series titles.
While the prose is definitely purple at times, she writes the
"steadfast heroine" better than most other romance authors.
By that, I mean those heroines who are quietly strong although they
initially come off as weak to their heroes. When her books work, one
of the reasons they do is when that "ahah" moment happens to
her heroes, when they realize that the heroine has actually been
incredibly brave in facing her demons.

That's exactly what happens
in Chain Lightning, a romance about Amanda Blythe and Damon Sutter.
Amanda's boss is also Damon's aunt, and she decides to throw the two
together on a three-week vacation on an island in Australia's Great
Barrier Reef. Great idea, if Amanda hadn't nearly drowned in the
plane crash that killed her bum of a husband and their unborn child.
Great idea, if Damon could handle a woman not as strong as
himself.

But thrown together these two are, and as the sexual
tension increases, so does Damon eventually learn the truth about the
seemingly waifish Amanda. His "ahah" moment is both
effective and affecting, and the relationship these two forge as a
result is very touching. As author Lowell tends to do, there's always
one more hurdle to jump before an HEA ending, and this one is one of
her most poignant endings - up there with the endings in Too Hot to
Handle and Love Song for a Raven.

Elizabeth Lowell is one of the few
authors I read who writes seemingly endless love scenes - her series
titles always seem to include one that goes on forever - but they
often work for her, conveying in actions what the characters are
unable to convey with words. Chain Lightning is no exception, and if
the reader can get past some of the corny dialogue (her heroes often
seem to have horrible nicknames for their heroines), there's a good
time to be had...

4.0 out of 5 stars A warm book for a cold winter day, Aug 31 2000

By Spirit "Spirit" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Chain lightning (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read this book twice, and though I lend most of my books to friends this is a keeper. Sent by a meddeling boss on a suprise vacation to Austrial our heroine finds herself facing her three biggest fears, Water, Planes, and Boats. Mandy is a woman most of us can relate too. She won't hide from her fears. Sutter is a man that has a hard time understanding her at first. But being a diplomate he has learned to study people, and by studing Mandy he learns that there is more to her than her sharp whit, and amber eyes. What he finds, he doesn't want to amit. Beside a few big goofs on the scuba diving sequences, this was a great fast read. Want to get away for a day, pick-up this book and go to Australia with Mandy and Sutter.

5.0 out of 5 stars At the top of my list., Aug 25 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Chain lightning (Paperback)

Mandy Blythe is afraid of water, boats, and airplanes. The worst possible candidate for an Australian Barrier Reef vacation with Damon Sutter. Scared to death the entire way, Mandy somehow makes it to Lady Elliot Island in one piece. Once there she sets out to conquer her fear anyway she can. At first, Sutter is no help, and even goads her about being a frightened little bunny hiding in her burrow. Sooner or later, he comes around, though. As will you. Elizabeth Lowell continually writes excellent novels with believable characters and scenarios. So believable, in fact, even you might become afraid of water! Well done, Lowell!
