Colorado Crime Scene by Cindi Myers

D.L.’s first review of the year

did not like it
Blech. I'm trying to think of the last time I read a romantic suspense with so little suspense. Oh, and so little romance too boot. There was zero chemistry between the hero and heroine. This was a short book but a real pain to finish. ...more

D.L.’s last review of the year

it was ok
I don't know how to rate this book exactly. I didn't hate it per se, but I certainly did not love it. I can't believe how much of this "suspense" read was devoted simply to the main couple (who were not all that likable independently) decorating and/or remodeling their house.
