~Lady Blue~

by Judy Bagshaw

      Heroine: tall, abundant

    Sultry Sabrina Blue knows how to make magic when she's crooning at her small blues club, Spats.  For her singing is a dream come true, one she once thought was forever out of reach as long as she stayed the dutiful housewife and mother.  But Sabrina made some difficult decisions about her life and made that dream come true.

     Sexy, suave Guy Latimer, owner of the King Midas Inc. music production company, is not used to taking no for an answer.  So he's beyond shocked when he approaches Sabrina after one of her sets at Spats, only to have her turn down his offer of a recording contract.  Determined to get to the bottom of her reluctance at working with him and anxious to get to know her on a personal level, Guy manages to at least get the delicious diva to go out to dinner with him.

      But can he win Sabrina's trust and ongoing friendship?  And can he protect her from the old dangers which haunt her past?

      What worked for me:

        I always love to read romances that feature truly abundant heroines; they are so hard to come by!

         It was easy to root for the hero and heroine in this story, and there were a terrifically despicable pair of villains to loathe.

        Size-wise Sabrina sounded like she was built along the lines of Camryn Manheim: tall, elegant, and bountiful.

What didn't work for me:    

       I am surprised that Sabrina, protective mother that she was, took chances with her son's safety in the way that she did.

Overall:

    Ms. Bagshaw's writing just gets better and better!  "Lady Blue" is her richest, most well-rounded tale yet. Fans of romantic suspense should enjoy this one.

Warning: there are some steamy love scenes and some coarse language in this story.

If you liked "Lady Blue" you might also enjoy "Love at Large", the Tory Bauer mystery series, "Teacher's Pet", the Odelia Grey mystery series, "A Worthy Heir", "Walking After Midnight", "Looking for Laura", "Serious Risks", "Shadows in the Moonlight", and "Love by the Pound".
