Vengeance, redemption and lust...Cajun style

All her life Grace has been the quiet, responsible twin, while Muse was the daring one. That fact only served to make the bond between them closer than most. When Muse goes missing, Grace takes a leave of absence from her counseling job and comes to New Orleans. She decides to assume her sister's identity in a desperate bid to uncover the truth. At first nothing seems to work until one hot night when she realizes someone is watching her from the balcony across from her own... New Orleans Police Detective Auri "Creole" Levalois is a renegade with one goal on his mind: find the people responsible for his foster brother Luke's murder. When his investigation leads him to a small time hood named Gary Fox, Creole decides to set up surveillance on Fox's girlfriend. According to his files, the sultry Muse Summerville dresses like a femme fatale and has a penchant for dangerous men. However, the woman Creole is spying on doesn't even like to wear sexy lingerie and jumps whenever he's near. Something isn't right and Creole is determined to get to the bottom of it, even if he has to jump the four feet between their respective balconies. Like the city the story takes place in, SWEET REVENGE is a steamy, passionate tale of vengeance, redemption and love -- with a nice big serving of good, old-fashioned lust. While Grace is a beautiful and strong heroine, it is Creole who will take the reader's breath away. Tortured by his childhood memories and haunted by the death of his brother, Creole is determined to be alone. He can't even bear the touch of another person, which makes for some interesting scenes in this story. Grace's acceptance of his dark side slowly erodes the demons plaguing Creole, but will it be enough? Nina Bruhns has filled Grace and Creole's story with enough sexual tension to melt every last ice cube in your freezer, but it's the poignant moments that will have you placing this book on your keeper shelf. Mais oui, SWEET REVENGE is one very fine tale. TheSchemer

~sighs~ Spectacular!

Hard, SEXY, complicated Detective "Creole" Auri Levalois thought no woman would ever earn his trust until he met Psychologist Grace Summerville. A woman whom he must aid in her search for her missing sister, and whom must help him get his "sweet revenge." Throughout their search, the two become entanlged in a passionate, sensual love like never before. This love "cured" Creole of his "problem" and lowered his defences (just a bit) around Grace. Grace is compassionate, loving, and understanding. Creole is strong, (oh sooo sexy) caring, and loyal. Together these two make a spectacular, emotionally and sensually charged couple, in a devastatingly romantic story that should NOT be missed.

A GREAT SPIN-OFF TO CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!

Grace Summerville is a counselor for troubled teens and her sister Muse seems to be a great free for-all. Life style and men.And now she is missing [pay attention to this aspect].Auri "Creole" Levalois is on the private prowl trying to find Muse's last boy friend, he is sure Muse will lead him to the guy. He feels an unwanted, instant attraction as he watches her from across their respective balconies on a hot, dark night.He was salivating as he watched her run that darn ice cube where he would love to run his tongue.Revenge, that was what Creole was after for the torture and murder of his foster brother, Luke.My question is, he couldn't have been too good a detective is she knows he is following her or did he do it deliberately?Why the devil did she dress to intice if she wouldn't put out. I guess the hot kiss told it all. Ah well, it was only a matter of time.Their trip around Bourbon Street was a bit hilarious and then the FBI has to stop their fun. But danger was lurking near by.The characters were great and their problems made the story even better - there was the thrill of the chase - the build up to the eventual seduction [as usual] and a great twist to Muse being in the protection of FBI Special agent Remi Beaulieux [cousin of Simon Beaulieux from "Catch Me If You Can"].It's not fair Ms. Bruhns -- who did Muse marry? Was it Remi? Or did she meet someone else? For all of his secretiveness, Remi deserves a book of his own. He should go back and see Simon and his family.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --M Loved that tatoo!
