Promise You Won't Tell? by John Locke

I like John Locke's stuff, especially his Donovan Creed and Emmett Love work. He's gotten a bad rap recently about paying for some reviews early in his career, but buying reviews doesn't get you across the 1MM sales line, so other people must like his stuff, too.

His books aren't too long, quick paced, and fun. This title is the second in the Dani Ripper series, she's a household name from being held captive as a teen, and now her main business is acting as a decoy, or someone a wife may hire to test a husband's resolve. It helps to be gorgeous in this profession, which Dani apparently is.

This book didn't live up to his previous work. You can read the blurb here to get the premise. It felt as if the entire book was dialogue, and the twists and turns you'd expect never showed up. Or they did and they weren't that great. Or I expected to expect them. Whatever, I was a little disappointed.

Tres stars, Juan. We're still waiting for the next Creed (I recommend that series).
