Juliet's Law

This is one of my marshmellow stories - no enough suspense - not enough depth. A pleasure to read though - and I definitely want to know who the characters are when I read a review - Juliet Rousseau, 32 & blond - middle of the sisters - still troubled by the flashback's of her trauma a year ago - she disconnects from reality. Juliet has come to the aid of her older sister, Desdemona "Desi", a brunette, who is going to divorce her cheating husband, Claude Tsosie, a Native American artist. Claude wants to sell her ranch compound for wolves - millions are involved - he and Desi have been married for 16 years. Juliet is a lawyer from California - she and her 2 sisters used to come to camp in Mariposa, Colorado when they were younger - Desi returned to the town to buy the ranch. Miranda, a fiery red-head is the youngest sister, an artist and settled in New York. But all three rally around in times of need. Joshua Mad Calf and his four year old daughter, Glory are very interested in Juliet. Glory calls her a "Princess". Josh's mother, Helene, helps watches Glory when Josh is called out to respond to any incidents. Josh is tribal police. Helene is a nurse and a medicine womon on the Ute rez. To get information or "gossip" Josh and Julie stop in The Black Crown - a British-styled pub that Tamati Neville opened in Mariposa. I wonder what part he will play. Juliet was still looking for her totem. Definitely Recommended -m - thoroughly enjoyable read but ......more depth is needed

I just finished reading Juliet's Law. It only took about two hours straight through. Fast moving plot, with enough action to be in Silhouette's Supense category. But to me, it seemed too easy to be believable. Juliet complains that fairy tales set up unreasonable expectations for little girls, but this also reminded me of a fairy tale. A woman with emotional problems, especially having to do with physical intimacy, just doesn't open up this easily. Seems kind of normal for this type of romance novel, though. A quick, fun read, but disingage the logical part of your brain before curling up in front of the fire with it.

I actually read the second book (Desi's Rescue) before this one. While they are stand-alone and OK to read out of order, I read enough about Juliet in the second one to make me wish I'd read this first, just to set my background. This is one excellent book and leaves you cheering for the heroine and hero, and glad you have the second one to read now now and sad the third isn't available yet (at least not today 3/20/07). Soon! Her characters could be your neighbors and you will enjoy them very much!
