Fresh Fiction Review

Rabbit Heart
Colleen Hitchcock

Reviewed by Morgan Chilson

Romance Historical

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.

SUMMARY

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?
