Lyra Prescott, a Los Angeles film student, is closing in on graduation and facing important decisions about her future. She's already been offered a job at her hometown TV station, an opportunity that could ultimately launch her dream career as a film editor. But heading back home would also mean dealing with her overprotective brothers, social-climbing mother, and eccentric grandmother. Unsure of her future, Lyra dives into work on her final school assignment: a documentary transformed by a twist of fate into a real-life horror film.

After she unwittingly captures a shocking crime on camera, a rash of mysterious, treacherous incidents convince Lyra that she's trapped in a sinister scenario headed for a violent ending. Running scared, she turns to her best friend, Sidney Buchanan, whose connections bring dauntless and devilishly handsome FBI agent Sam Kincaid into Lyra's life. As the noose of deadly intrigue tightens and the feelings between them deepen, Lyra and Sam must place their faith in each other's hands—and stand together against the malevolent forces about to break loose.

No one mixes life-and-death suspense with feverish desire better than Julie Garwood. In Sizzle she burns hotter and brighter than ever, keeping the action and passion blazing till the incredible, unforgettable end.©2009 Julie Garwood; (P)2009 Random House

Garwood whips up another delicious concoction for the discriminate listener and uses ALL the right ingredients! She starts with the staples: A robust and hearty male FBI Agent uniquely flavored with a Scottish burr; a Texan spiced female beauty with a soft drawl; a lively granny who stirs the pot and subtly saves people not her wealth; a roommate steeped in fresh, fruity wiles and 6 brawny brothers; a mushroom bumbling bad guy; and the flat, almost bitter influence of a bevy of crooks! Susan Denaker does a superb job of Master Chef and with her reading expertise, serves up a banquet! The best dish? The laugh out loud, tears in the eyes humor! Garwood and Denaker have the best offering on the Romance, Comedy, Mystery-Adventure Menu. Spend a credit and order up!!

Sizzle by Julie Garwood

An excellent FBI story with the hero being Sam. Sam is a man who has lost his wife and is afraid to fall in love again. In this book he tries to avoid the heroine, as she is the perfect woman to him, but he must be close to protect her from someone who wants to kill her. He has ambivalent feelings for her. This book not only has the romance, but has the mystery and suspense as to who is trying to harm the heroine. Great book. Great narration.
