Hmmm. I have mixed feelings about this book. It managed to keep me entertained yet there were times I also wanted to burn it. I am in nursing school to become a registered nurse so anything medical and mystery is interesting to me. The main lady in this story is an RN and I just hope to God I never have a nurse like her taking care of me.
Synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com): Pierce Carver was one of Austin's richest, most successful surgeons. And he was going to marry trauma nurse Rose Marie Castle and put her aching feet into glass slippers. Unfortunately, the doctor had a weakness for the allure of youth and feminine perfection. He jilted Rose Marie three years ago, and she's still dreaming of revenge....
And things are looking bad for Rose Marie. The night Pierce died she was inside his magnificent home, half naked and very willing to accept his apologies. Now she's the prime suspect. Worse, her high school sweetheart is the investigating detective. But if Rose Marie didn't kill the not-so-good doctor, who did? Between his ex-wives, his angry stepchildren and the deep, dirty secrets driving their lives, somebody resorted to murder. And it looks as if Dr. Carver kept the biggest, baddest secrets of all....
My thoughts: Okay where to start? First of all I HATED Rose. She was a horrible choice for a leading lady. She is shallow, selfish, insecure, and idiotic. I found myself more than once while reading this book cursing her for her stupidity. Secondly, Pierce was an ass. Third, Rose has an old flame who becomes the investigator on the case. His name is Michael Nash. I think he is a fool. He pines after Rose who does nothing but think of only herself all the time. Rose has a daughter named Carmen who is a mess. Carmen has a daughter who she doesn't really want. With Rose and Carmen let's just say the apple does not fall far from the tree. I would have liked more insight into Carmen's world though. Now that I've bashed out all the dislikes of the book I will discuss the strong points. This story is like a sick and twisted soap opera. No matter how disgusted with Rose I was, I could not help but want to read more. There are some twists and turns you do not expect at all. Overall this is a strong who-dun it. If you can stomach the nausea Rose may cause the book is good. The cover is interesting and got my attention. I may or may not read another Ann Major book. Only time will tell.
