Book Reviews of Innocent as Sin: A NovelBook Review: St. Kilda's Consulting is a hit with me... Summary: 4 Stars
Reed and Rand McCree are freelancing for St. Kilda's Consulting when something goes horribly wrong...they witnessed, and photographed a man who was willing to kill to keep his secrets. Reed McCree finds this out...
Five years later Rand McCree is only interested in painting his landscapes and minding his own buisness...he wants nothing to do with St. Kilda...they've cost him too much already. But when St. Kilda contacts him and tells him that they have a lead on the man who killed his brother, the Siberian, and that there is only one way, and one man who may be able to get close to him, he finds himself drawn in again...
Kayla Shaw is a personal banker. She's always tried to follow the rules, abide by the law, and just mind her own business. But she's been given a account...the only account she was currently assigned, it was so big. So she might have technical violations...she would fill in the blanks later, and this customer had to be happy. Her world is turned upside down when she finds that she is under the Bertone's finger now...she's recently sold her rance for an awesome amount, and now she finds that the Bertone's have bought it. This coupled with several 'small' things she's done have them threatening her into laundering money for them...she doesn't know where to turn.
She meets Rand McCree when Elana Bertone hosts a Fast Draw, and he enters to get St. Kilda some up close and personal pics...and the story if off from there.
I truly enjoy Ms. Lowell's weaving of her charachters and their backgrounds. I feel like I'm living the story, and I know my charachters so well. It's amazing that she can convey that 400 pages, but she manages to do so over and over again. I love the dialogue that she builds between her hero and hero, it's funny, fast and somtimes telling you more than you first see.
Innocent As Sin wasn't my very favorite Elizabeth Lowell, but it IS excellent. I'm liking the St. Kilda's books, some more than others, but praying that we'll see more of Rareities on of these days.
Summary of Innocent as Sin: A Novel On what at first appears to be an ordinary day, everything changes for private banker Kayla Shaw when she barely escapes a brutal kidnapping attempt and finds herself accused of a shocking crime: the illegal laundering of hundreds of millions of dollars.

After five agonizing years, landscape painter Rand McCree has finally been offered what he desires most: the name of his twin brother's murderer. Hungry for vengeance, he accepts a job that will place him in the killer's orbit . . . and tantalizingly close to Kayla Shaw. The cold-blooded international criminal responsible for Rand's brother's death has targeted Kayla as his next victim?and only Rand can stop him from killing again. Suspicious of each other, needing each other, they are two against the world as the violence of the past erupts in the present.
