Description

From Booklist Dr. Libby Drake is the "good girl" of seven sisters, never living dangerously. She has the gift of healing but also uses her brilliant mind and physician's training to help others. When one of her teenage patients winds up at the bottom of a cliff, he is rescued by the fire department via helicopter. Ty Derrick, brilliant biochemist and part-time rescue worker, receives mortal injuries when his harness fails. He has always fascinated Libby, and she uses all her energy and healing power to save him. Sparks fly since Ty has always had a crush on Libby, but someone is out to get them. Was Ty's fall an accident? Is a reputed mobster trying to kill her? Who snapped photos of Libby and Ty making love and sold them to the tabloids? The latest of Feehan's tales of the seven magically gifted Drake sisters offers a tempting blend of paranormal romance and mystery. Diana Tixier Herald Copyright © American Library Association.

My first Feehan book and my last

This book was just annoying to me. Maybe because every other page had one of the seven sisters showing up randomly and interrupting the story line. Maybe because I expected this book to be about one heroine, and instead the whole thing kept branching off to tell bits about the other sisters' and their lovers' lives. I'm sorry, but isn't that what the other books are for, if this is indeed a Drake Sisters series? Also, this was billed as an erotic suspense book, and it was not. The romance was blah and didn't even kick in until the end of the book. At that point I was skimming the pages. The story did not draw me in, the plot was so dull that I don't even know what it really was, and the protagonists were unappealing.

Glad to see the Drake sisters continue in fine fashion

This story wasn't quite as steamy as Matt and Kate's (Twilight Before Christmas), but it's pretty good. Libby, the doctor, and Ty, the brilliant biochemist, suddenly overcome years of an angst-ridden love-hate relationship after Ty is injured and must really consider the Drake's magical powers. The only thing that concerns me with this book (why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars) is the easy way the main characters give up legitimate concerns about the other. I know Libby is supposed to be forgiving, but if a man rudely insults her family, would she really be making out with him 10 seconds later? Despite this, the unity of the Drake sisters (and the way they complement each other, rather than copying one character seven times) is as appealling as usual. Also, Feehan presents numerous possible "bad guys" leaving you with doubts about who has harmful intent to the very end. This book also presents more insight into the Hannah-Jonas and Elle-Jackson relationships, making me anticipate the release of their stories. Overall, good read!

Good Book

I enjoyed the latest book in the Drake sisters series. Libby and Abigail's have been the best as they are more involved and complex. Originally, I regreted that Ms. Feehan was wasting time writing this series instead of concentrating on the Carpathian one. Now, I look forward to Hannah's story.
