This well-loved classic won the RITA for romantic suspense.Cool Shade is a Contemporary Romance, which means it contains sex scenes.

Now it's going to take every last one of Maddie's wiles, feminine and otherwise, to get close enough to Eddie to discover what has happened, and to resist his mesmerizing allure, which may be just as dangerous as it is enticing.Amazon.com ReviewMaddie Smith has never been one to hang around any place too long. After losing her job as a late-night disc jockey, she has little reason to stay in Tucson.

It soon becomes clear that these two deserve each other, and when they finally feel comfortable with the fit, they find they are greater as a pair than they could ever have been as individuals.The encounters between Maddie and Eddie are anything but typical. Both are insecure, yet somehow they manage to muddle through. Author Theresa Weir has created them to be very human, characters the readers feel connected to as they witness their lives unfold. ReviewAll About Romance Desert Isle Keeper. Grade: ARomance Writers of America RITA Winner.This is my favorite Theresa Weir book -- and that's saying a lot because she's really good. She is not a typical romance writer. When her characters make a mistake, it's not because she's trying to make the book longer -- their mistakes grow out of their personalities. If you like music, and sensitive heroes, and people with quirks, you'll love this book. There are lots of surprises and some big secrets. I'm not sure which is more intense, the style or the love scenes. Anne M. MarbleThis book won the RITA award and deservedly so because this is one of the best romances I've ever read. I think it also could have been published as fiction but it's on the line genre-wise. It also combines suspense but without murdering anyone! It's a total original. This author will next be appearing on the Mystery section here, instead of romance, so keep her in view and track down her books, both past and forthcoming! Anne M. Marble, one of my FAVORITES here at Amazon, also reviews this book, so take the link at the top left of this page, to her site. Carol Irvin. Views: 33
