Hush

Classic Tal Bauer: super sweet romance. And when shit hits the fan, shit reallllly hits the fan. The one scene (or group of scenes) I think of where I wanted more was Mike's rejection after their weekend. I wanted that a bit more because if you haven't realized by now, I like to suffer. Tal's becoming a sure thing for me.

Way too long, over the top, uneasy mix of sappy romanticism and violent, bloody thriller. Yet somehow compulsively readable if not taken too seriously. Tom cries more than any other character (male or female) I've ever encountered, and Mike “beams” so much that I was afraid he would cause skin cancer, but I still rooted for the two to get their HEA. I'm not rushing out to buy all of the author's previous work, but I'd pick up another one at the right price.
