Description: Diamonds can be a girl’s best friend…or her worst enemy. Don’t miss the first thrilling story in the Stars of Mithra trilogy, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts!
Bailey James can’t remember a thing. She doesn’t even know who she is, let alone why her bag is filled with cash, a gun, and a large blue diamond. Desperate for help, she heads to the first detective office she can find, hoping that PI Cade Parris is someone she can trust—and with no options, Bailey doesn’t have much of a choice. Cade is sure the woman of his dreams just walked through the door when Bailey shuffles in, but he’ll have to convince her that she’s not a criminal before he can consider his love for her…
My Thoughts: This was an excellent romantic suspense story. Nora Roberts always writes a story that engages both my brain and my heart and writes characters who seem very real.
Cade Parris is a private investigator. He comes from a wealthy background but is determined that his business pay its own bills. And while he likes to think of himself as Sam Spade, he looks more like a cover model with dimples no less.
When a young woman walks into his office carrying a canvas bag containing a million dollars in cash, a gun, and a very rare blue diamond and hires Cade to find herself, Cade is smitten and intrigued.
Bailey James is suffering from hysterical amnesia although she prefers not to be referred to as hysterical in any way, and she needs Cade to help her find out what she has forgotten and why she feels like she is in great danger.
The two fall in love as they unravel the clues of Bailey's past. I really enjoyed this story. I liked that Cade was the more outwardly romantic of the pair. I liked that Bailey was sensible and practical and organized every when she didn't remember who she was. I really enjoyed the love at first sight trope. I thought there was just enough suspense and danger to add spice to the story.
Scott Merriman did an excellent job with all of the voices and did an excellent job making me feel both the romance and the suspense.
This story was originally written in 1997 and, except for the lack of cellphones, didn't seem at all dated.
