Nicollette Caron has the kind of sexy bedroom beauty that
draws men. But her insatiable sexual appetite brings new
meaning to the phrase "dying of a broken heart." Men
continually expire in her bed, trying to please her. She
lives a life on the run, hoping no one will learn her
terrible secret and aching for a man and a love that can
survive her curse.
Detective Jackson Lang is on the trail of a beautiful woman
that he's fast becoming to believe is a serial murderer.
Although he knows she's guilty, he can't help but be drawn
by the same deadly beauty that's left a trail of corpses
across the English countryside.
I love to see publishers and authors step outside the
boundaries of "usual" fiction and try something new. But
I'm afraid the entire concept behind RABBIT HEART left me
unfulfilled. In books that stretch into the paranormal (I'm
not sure it can even be called that -- maybe mystical?), you
still have to believe what the author is doing. I never
could do that in this book. I felt no sympathy at all for
Nicollette, who I think should have at least stopped having
sex with men once she knew that she was killing them off. A
brave attempt at something new, but it just didn't work.
Nicollette Caron is every man's ideal mistress. Pity, then,
that all of her lovers die trying to satisfy her insatiable
appetite. Forced to flee town after town so that no one
will discover her terrible secret, Nicollette is haunted by
the ghosts of her dead lovers as England's top crime
inspector circles ever closer.
Renowned for his tenacity, handsome detective Jackson Lang
will stop at nothing to prove that Nicollette is a
murderess. Powerful Lord Baston is equally determined...to
make Nicollette his mistress despite her breathless
warnings. A fortune-teller foresees that only one man is
strong enough to save Nicollette. But how will she know
which man to trust until it is too late?
