Give Him the Slip

September 15, 2006
Maddie Kincaid has found the home that she has been seeking all her life in Brazos Bend, Texas. As the daughter of a famous rock star, she has been hounded by the press and used by her boyfriends. All she wants is a nice, normal, quiet life, but her work with the elderly unexpectedly leads to mayhem involving illegal drugs and maybe even murder. Branch Callahan, a manipulative client, sends her to a DEA agent for help, and he turns out to be Branch's estranged son Luke, known as "Sin." Luke has given up his badge and wants nothing to do with anyone connected to his father until gorgeous Maddie comes along. Dawson gives her readers dynamic characters, folksy writing leavened with tension and suspense, and a steady dose of steamy romantic interludes to create a truly enjoyable romance. Already a best-selling romance author, Dawson is still ascending.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
