Skin Deep by Nora Roberts

Chantel O'Hurley is the jaw-droppingly gorgeous movie star you have met in the other O'Hurley books. While she might not have come across so well in those, this book might answer some questions. I think all of her bluster and irritating moments that popped up in The Last Honest Woman and Dance to the Piper were all down to stress and fear - I mean who wouldn't be a little on edge with a stalker calling you in the middle of the night and making you fear for your own safety?!

When Chantel is forced to recognise that perhaps she does need protection in steps Quinn Doran, private investigator who is suddenly being pulled out of his office and back into the field. Protecting Chantel will be a full-time job, but can he really keep his hands off her or stop his heart from falling? Quinn doesn't trust himself around Chantel...

I actually quite enjoyed this book, Quinn was dark, broody and all things a hero should be. At points I wanted to strangle them both, as they keep assuming what the other was feeling and then not acting on their own desires - but hey the road to true love was never smooth. I really liked the stalker story-line, it isn't anywhere near as good as Nora's later work but shows you where she started out and how brilliant she is now.

So, onto the final one...Without a Trace all about that mysterious big brother we've heard so much about!
