When antiques dealer Dora Conroy purchases a small painting and other unique items at an auction, she didn't know that she would become a target of International Smugglers. A few days after the purchase, her store was broken into. Dora also discovers that another dealer who bought items at the same auction has been murdered. She asks her new tenant, Jed Skimmerhorn for help. Jed is currently taking leave from the Philadelphia Police Department and has just moved into the apartment above Dora's antique store. Another break-in, this time in her apartment, lets Jed and Dora know they are involved with some shady characters who will stop at nothing to get their merchandise back.
This is an entertaining romantic suspense story. We know upfront who is behind the break-ins and murders, but it is fun to watch Jed and Dora piece everything together. Highly recommend! My rating: 4.5 Stars.

This was a great example of Nora Roberts' easy to read, yet strangely hard to put down books. It's about a young woman who operates an antiques shop, and some intrigue after picking up some oddities at an auction, then the romance with her sort-of-ex-cop neighbor. A very good read, thoroughly enjoyable.
Dora Conroy has a passion for antiques - and any other rarities she can acquire for her quaint Philadelphia shop. A seasoned dealer, she knows all the tricks of the trade. But nothing could prepare her for the deadly consequences when she purchases a few curiosities at an auction - and unknowingly brings home a priceless cache that makes her the target of an international criminal. Entwined in a reckless chase, Dora turns to her new neighbor, Jed Skimmerhorn, a cop who's turned in his badge - and whose desire for lovely Dora puts him back in the line of fire. Fighting their attraction while falling in love, they find that hidden riches can have a most ordinary facade. And that possession can be a lethal obsession.... (from back cover)

I enjoyed this book. I enjoy romance books, but I cant stand to have them cheesy. I like a little romantic suspense, i don't like having everything a girl wants to read about being in one book all together and having it all predictable. If that makes any sense... But this book didn't have that as much, so I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed Dora and Jeds "words" between them. Sarcastic smart-assy remarks, I really enjoyed. They made me laugh and think how real life they could be.
Enjoyed the book lively as always with Nora Roberts. Have 2 copies only need one
Nora Roberts continues to deliver.
