San Diego psychologist Dr. Cory Cohen was once a rape victim. She has recovered but never forgot the lessons she learned from that ugly experience. She stays in shape, with the added bonus of being able to defend herself if necessary, by attending karate school.
Superior, a managed health care business, employs Hamilton. His job is to assign the number of visits to a mental health care provider that a member can have. He loves to deny claims and relishes limiting a patient to three sessions. However, his greatest perk is his access to the case files, which allows this psychopathic executive to select his next rape-murder victim.
He comes to Cory's attention when one of her patients is brutally murdered by him. Tenacious and obsessed, Cory beings to ferret out the identity of the suited monster. When Hamilton realizes that Cory is closing in on him, he blithely decides to make her his next casualty.
Sandra Levy Ceren has written a powerful drama that focuses on the social issues of rape and managed health care. Her passionate condemnation of the current system would sway the Republican Congress to reconsider their opinions on change. Though it may seem far-fetched that a lone heroine will purposely track down a rapist-murderer, Ms. Ceren makes it believable as the strength and drive of Cory is obvious throughout the tale. PRESCIRIPTION FOR TERROR is a terrifyingly exciting novel that will leave female readers lightly sleeping with the lights on throughout the house.

Maggie Kelley has come a long way since she left behind her oft-married mother in Potter's Junction, Wisconsin to seek a new life in Chicago. Now on the eve of the millennium, Maggie is engaged to marry the affluent bastion of society Colin Spencer even if she has doubts about love. At the big New Year's Eve event, Colin and Maggie are to announce their wedding plans to everyone. Her long-term friend and mentor international reporter Luke Fitzgerald is shockingly jealous of the upcoming nuptials. Her best friend Isabelle Channing believes Maggie is marrying the wrong man.
At the reception with midnight arriving, Colin is missing, apparently ditching Maggie at the very last moment. To his shock, Luke realizes he loves Maggie and would do anything to make her hurt go away. He also believes that she loves him too, but will she listen to her heart that incessantly beats to the drum of his and realize her bud is her soul mate?
ONCE A HERO is an entertaining contemporary romance that centers on changing of relationships as time goes by. The story line is fulfilling as the lead couple's motivations are fully developed. Luke lives up to the title billing as a hero and Maggie is a warm, intrepid woman overcoming her "genes". Kate Hoffman makes the end of the Millennium fun for sub-genre fans. This romance and the simultaneously taking place tale (ALWAYS A HERO) starring Colin and Isabelle gloriously open the new century in triumph.

In 1140, everyone suffers from the bloody Civil War between the supporters of King Stephen and those of the Empress Mathilda. The countryside is filled with heinous crimes, as Oliver Pascal will soon learn when he comes across the raped and battered body of a friend, Lady Amice, who soon dies. Oliver escorts Amice's ten-year old son Richard and her maid Catrin to a relative, Earl Robert in Bristol
Catrin tries to protect Richard, who she sees as more of a son than a burden. She also feels obligated to Oliver for rescuing them even though she loathes the concept of depending on any male. Still she begins to fall in love with him and he reciprocates those feelings. As Oliver tries to regain his lost lands, he marries Catrin, not knowing that their relationship stands in jeopardy due to external forces having a different agenda.
THE LOVE KNOT is a well written according-to-the-book, medieval romance. Sub-genre fans will enjoy the interesting story line that places honor and love in peril though the swing between present and past vernacular is a bit disconcerting. The lead characters are wonderful champions and Robert adds much depth to the tale. Elizabeth Chadwick writes a fine tale that her fans will enjoy.

In the summer of 1949, Colonel Adrien de Crecy Johnson is fishing in the Highland river Edendale when he hooks a great salmon. However, as he reels the fish in during a monumental struggle that takes the fisherman all across the water, he finds himself amidst a decomposed human corpse. Apparently the victim, Gabriel Daggers, purchased a large life insurance policy only five months ago from the Anchor Accident Insurance Company.
The insurance company's General Manager Montague Cork was planning to go on a three-week salmon-fishing trip. He decides to visit the locale where the seemingly healthy Daggers allegedly drowned, as the case feels suspiciously wrong. However, Montague never suspected that the inquiries would interrupt his fishing trip, but then again he was unaware of the villainous activities that permeate the Scottish Highlands.
CORK ON THE WATER is a reprint of a 1951 novel that fans of historiography will fully enjoy. The story line is entertaining as the mystery unfolds. Montague is a wonderful character and his sidekick Robert Shipley adds humor and depth to the tale. However, what makes this tale so much fun is that Macdonald Hastings paints a masterpiece of 1949 England that does not depend on research as he was there to write a contemporary. Joyfully, more Cork reprints are to follow.
