Review:

Setting: Contemporary United States Sensuality: 7

Successful businessman Jonah Blackhawk owns a string of popular nightclubs. He knows that he wouldn't have survived his childhood spent on city streets without the intervention of Boyd Fletcher, the cop who refused to give up on him. When Boyd asks for Jonah's help in solving a series of high-ticket burglaries, Jonah can't refuse. What Jonah isn't prepared for is the detective assigned to the case. Strong-willed, blond, and beautiful, Detective Allison Fletcher is Boyd's daughter--she's also the woman who just might shatter Jonah's determination to remain heart-whole and single.

Undercover at the nightclub, Allison works closely with Jonah and it isn't long before the chemistry between them explodes. Given his past and the fact that she is Boyd's daughter, Jonah is convinced that he should leave her alone. But Allison has other plans--ones that propinquity and mutual passion are likely to bring to fruition if she and Jonah can only stay alive.

Nora Roberts skillfully blends hot romance with an intriguing and suspenseful plot, tosses in a group of interesting secondary characters for flavor, and delivers a novel that packs a lot of story into a small package. Her novels regularly hit the bestseller lists and Night Shield, the latest installment in the Night Tales series for Silhouette, is a sure bet for success on any list.--Lois Faye Dyer
