5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth Adding to Collection, July 26 2009
By 
Carson Deeds (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Naked Heart (Paperback)
Teaser on the back cover:

"Can two women who trust no one risk all and trust each other?

Raised by a single mother on the wrong side of the tracks, Unity Vaughan has fought for everything she's ever achieved. Now, having made a breakthrough discovery at her biotech company, she finds her business a target for industrial espionage and a hostile takeover. She needs an expert to watch her back and spy on her enemies, which is how she finds herself in a bizarre nightclub trying to hire a woman with a flogger in one hand, a camera in the other, and a pair of corseted twins fondling her body.

Penn Harte makes her living the way lots of former CIA agents do, selling her unusual skills to the highest bidder. Lately she's also been doing her best friend Lila a favor by helping out in Lila's upscale fetish club. When Unity approaches Penn with an offer to work for her, Penn can't believe her luck -- she's already been hired by Unity's biggest enemy, who wants a blackmail tape. Penn figures she'll have Unity, the perfect subject for seduction, on film in a compromising position within days. The problem is, Penn doesn't know if she can see Unity as just another job.

Power, passion, sex and danger drive a high stakes plot in this gripping erotic romance."

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing one or two heartbeats, May 22 2009
By Geoff - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Naked Heart (Paperback)
Disclaimer: Icky opinionated male! (But I loved the two Meghan O'Brien books I read, and liked Lynn Galli's a lot too!) For some reason this review is writing itself in bullet points. Sorry.

~The plot is -reasonably- well laid out in other reviews and the synopsis, so I won't bore you with that. The writing itself is top-notch, and very pleasing to read. There's a tiny smattering of techobable that would have left me behind if it was used more, and one or two moments of political soapboxing that I didn't care about one way or the other, but it didn't hurt the book any.

~I will agree that the BDSM is very incidental (too incidental, in my pervy `lil opinion), and is used only as a back-drop. (Although the scene where dangerous twins attempt to seduce one of the main characters into letting them "play" with her was very hawt!)

~The `Spy' aspects of the book are less "Jane Bond" action and adventure, and more icky/sleazy corporate digging and morals-compromising work, that I felt sadly sympathetic for the character `Penn' for having to stoop to.

~The "HLS" is nice, and certainly tastefully written, but I feel it a bit hurried. I'm not looking for badly written "Letters to Penthouse" stuff here, but there seemed to me to be a certain lack of foreplay. There's -lots- of teasing and waiting impatiently (which is -good-), but that leads to being too hurried when the bedroom door closes.

~As Elena (from Spain) points out there are four interesting secondary characters introduced, Nariko, Lila, and the dangerous twins Chloe and Colette, who I also feel were promising, but in the end I feel they were underused.

Now, my main reason for 3-stars: There is a moment where the book breaks down for me. The anger and reconciliation is -way- too hurried, and lacks a great deal of detail. I'm greedy. I want my soap opera. I was happily wallowing in all the emotions -right- there with both characters, and then the anger is over too quick, and the efforts and struggle to make amends and repair the damaged relationship are almost non existent!

The author works her magic for 200+ pages to lead up to the moment of truth, and could have (should have) gone another 100+ pages to deliver our "happy ending". It felt as if someone at her publisher's said "ok, you have 25 pages left to wrap it up!" It just felt... rushed. I just felt the characters deserved a chance to work things out properly. (That's what I get for getting emotionally invested in the story!)

A good book, but about 75 pages light at the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising depth within a thriller, July 19 2008
By Elena - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Naked Heart (Paperback)
There are a couple of reasons for my rating this book 5: One is the way it sucked me right in, there aren't too many books that have me up and reading to reach the end until all hours of the night, and this one managed just fine. The story is James Bond-esche in quite an implausible way, but at the same time it has a chilling ring of truth to it. It is dynamic, and incredibly well paced, it doesn't rush but it never stops moving.

The second reason is the fabulous, and completely surprising, inner depth of both main characters, Unity and Penn. The way they look within themselves and to each other and they way they analyze their feelings and their reasons, creates characters full of life, complex and rich, and very plausible even though the whole setting is, in Unity's own words, like an espionage novel. I simply wasn't expecting such well-defined characters in this type of erotically charged, action packed book..

In my opinion, there are a couple of "lose ends" (for lack of a better word): Nariko's and Penn's complicated relationship, which seems to be left somewhat open and forgotten, and the fact that I'm not altogether certain of the plot value of Chloe and Colette. Generally, that would make me rate the book a 4, but I can't bring myself to save starts with this one, I was totally blown away by these two fantastically drafted characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great read from this author, May 21 2008
By CC - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Naked Heart (Paperback)
I have always enjoyed the Fulton books, and this one is no exception. The author brings together an intriguing plot of corporate back-ally dealings, secrecy, personal revenge, and two solid characters that get through it all. As the reviewer before mine noted there is a back-drop of BDSM but I disagree with shying away from this book because of that, there is no big graphic descriptions of actual BDSM activity, more of a 'tease' type description and only on a very few pages (believe me I have read more descriptive ones in other 'tame' books and the love scenes describe between the two characters outside of the BDSM club are actually more graphic then what goes on in the club...in a good way) but the back-drop does give a good contrast between the lives of the two main characters and their interaction with sub-characters - I kind of wished the author had drawn out Unity's mother more, she seemed like a hoot. I would recommend this if you enjoy other Fulton books, it has a nice pace to the plot build up and wraps up nicely in the end....can't wait for her next one!
