"The entire time I was reading it I was expecting a big bomb to drop.. I was waiting for the excitement to pick up, but for me it never did. The plot was also cliche for a lot of romantic suspense books I read: the heroine and hero eventually fall for each other while trying to determine who the mysterious killer is that is offing all of Wyat Holbrook's donor-conceived children. THAT'S IT. I had hoped for more, but was truly disappointed!
The plot was lacking, the intensity was not there, the dialogue was somewhat weak as were the characters and the book was slow to pick up. The ending was REALLY cheesy. It almost felt like a waste of time. You learn nothing new and what I felt was the cincher was everyone being supremely beautiful with brains. A little unrealistic, don't you think?
"I really liked the suspense and tension in this book and plan to read more by this author. The killer is fairly obvious, although the author tries to make you think it might be someone else. Still it's a great, page-turning read."
"3 and a half stars; not quite four. Somehow, this lacked the sizzle I've gotten from other romantic suspense titles or, it could be I read it immediately after Leslie's Parrish's Fade to Black which outshone Sawyer's on several levels.
Though Death's Door's romance is more in the foreground than Sawyer's last few books, there wasn't anything particularly riveting about the protagonists. Madison's stubborn insistence that Wyatt isn't her biological father got repetitive and annoying. It would have worked more in her favor if the author hadn't repeated that again and again so that when the test results are revealed, there would have been some element of surprise. As a result it was like, 'yeah, she was right. So what?' for me.
Since that bit isn't all that critical to the story as I thought it would be, I don't mind mentioning it - but am still putting a spoiler alert for those who hate anything to be revealed.
And there was this scene towards the end - the villain is being eaten away in a vat of acid and the two protags are having a lovey-dovey moment right next to the vat...err, ugh. I guess such scenes are normal for movies and romantic fiction but I still think I would have gotten the hell outta there first since the cavalry had arrived and it wasn't my last chance to grope the hero."
