Summary: romantic and thrilling
Comment: Present Danger had everything in a great romantic thriller. It had sex, emotion and action. Aunie Franklin is running from her cxrazy husband. She settles in Washington state finding new friends and a sexy new neighbor name dd James. Now James is like other romantic heroes. He wants to be unattached and unavailable to any women, but when he sees Aunie he cant help but like her. Well with great secondary characterslike Lola and Otis, this book gives you everything you need to get hooked in the plot and understand these people and there lives. Aunie and James have a refreshing romantic affair that blossoms into love . Your rooting for these two to get together. This is absolutely one of the best susan anderson books ive read in a long time and its a definite keeper.

Summary: Great characters but lousy research!
Comment: I really enjoy Susan Andersen's writing. Her characters are always truly intriguing, and it's always a good read, especially the book Exposure. I've overlooked a trend of hers in other books that was impossible to get past in this one, though: her misuse of southern dialect. Someone please explain to this wonderful writer that we in the south no longer speak like Scarlet O'Hara and haven't for decades! The very worst, though, was the frequency of the misuse of the word y'all, which makes southerners in general appear quite illiterate. I'll clear it up for you. Y'all is always plural (hence the all at the latter part of the word) and is never, never used by a true southerner when speaking to one person and referring only to that one person. Others may not find this irritating, but I was almost unable to finish the book, as it seemed that on every other page the heroine was calling one of the other characters 'y'all.' Ms. Andersen should use some of her royalty $! ! to take a research trip to the South. I'm a fourth generation Atlanta native, the supposed origin of the main character, so I know such a trip would be beneficial. Aside from the negative light I believe this book casts on southerners, I enjoyed the suspense and chemistry between the two main characters.

Summary: Distracting accents
Comment: I totally agree with vt1752 about those god-awful accents Ms. Andersen insists on using. I finished the book but toward the end I swore if I read "Gawd, James!" one more time I would scream! I did enjoy the story and I decided to try another one of her books, Baby, I'm Yours, but once again, more southerners. This time it's "Jayzus" (Jesus) every few sentences. (I guess she couldn't make up her mind on the spelling because she alternates between Jayzus and Jaysus. Either way, both are annoying. I'll give her credit and blame the copy-writer. Hopefully all of her books aren't set in the south.
