2008-10-03 Heart Thumping Action Packed Lesbian Romance

--------------------------

First Instinct by JLee Meyer has heart thumping chase scenes and life-threatening encounters under the cover of darkness.

This story features a deeply flawed heroine who is trying to maintain a professional distance from the woman she is protecting.

Sounds a little formulaic? Not so because Meyer's presentation and storytelling is one of a kind. She does everything right in her second novel, First Instinct.

Meyer's easy writing style helps her readers get attached to the characters as we become engrossed in the book. Her stories are like magnets, pulling us in and refusing to let us go. This is a trait that she has carried over from her first successful novel, Forever Found.

The timing and pacing are even and quick throughout First Instinct.

Meyer develops the romance and suspense so they are in harmony with each other. She never rushes a scene, but never adds more words than needed.

While we may guess at where the end will take the reader, we have no idea how the author will achieve that, and this is what makes Meyer and First Instinct rare.

In the end, she gives us a very satisfying read with a rewarding ending. Meyer makes it look simple. Now that is a mark of a seasoned pro.
