This book was my second by Amy Fetzer and I'm sad to say I'm a bit disappointed after reading Perfect Weapon (B+).Sam Wyatt is part of Dragon One, a group of ex-military mercenaries. They are looking for stolen uncut diamonds which will be used by a terrorist organization to purchase weapons when they come across some robbers holding up a train. Xaviera (Viva) Fiori has found a priceless artifact at the archeological dig in Thailand. She is transporting the artifact to Bangkok when her train is attacked by robbers. She refuses to give up her prize to the robbers without a fight and Sam rescues her. Viva is a red head and Sam is instantly thrown for a loop at their first meeting. Their scenes together are great with some steamy sexy chemistry between them. And hot love scenes too.
But the major problem was that the plot was convoluted and I was confused most of the time. There were a bunch of characters with odd names (Wan Gai, Kashir, Ramesh, etc.), lots of settings, and several plot threads all tangled up together leaving me with the major question.... WTF??? I found myself going back and forth rereading, trying to figure out who was who and what was going on and where they were. Whew, too much work. Fetzer used that multiple-plot thing in PW too, but it worked much better. I was exhausted after reading this one.
My grade: C+

I have Perfect Weapon on my TBB list. I think I need to do some online shopping ;) Hope the next book you pick is much better.
OT:
Question, do you read Liz Carlyle? What do you think of her - I read Beauty Like The Night and had real problems with the hero but I need to find an author with an immense backlist before my head explodes!

Cindy: Yes, I read LZ. My favorites are A Woman Scorned, No True Gentleman, A Deal with the Devil, The Devil to Pay and they were all B+. I read a few others that were good (a B or B-) - My False Heart, A Woman of Virtue, and One Little Sin. She writes HOT. A Woman Scorned was my favorite I think. I should probably reread that one.
Thanks - I am reading One Little Sin but have run into a 2 year old and the heroine is the child's sister while the hero is the father of the 2 year old. I'm hoping there is a secret in there somewhere because alarm bells are going off in my head ;)
