- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a fun conclusion to the Fortune Hunter series, and a nice wrap-up to the Lost Texas Hearts one as well. I'd read the LTH series a few years ago, so not all the details are still hanging around my brain, but I did read the FHs all in the last few weeks and that was the one that was really brought together by this novel. Any of the series could be read on their own, but it becomes much more complete to have read them all--and in order. Though it's easy to get aggravated with Gabriel in this novel--he really does act rather boneheaded at times--at the same time Dodd does give fairly reasonable reasons for him to believe and do the things he does. Hannah definitely has more to overcome in this novel than the other three heroines, and she does so in style. If my to-read pile weren't out the roof, I'd re-read the Lost Texas series this summer as well--who am I kidding? It'll probably be more sooner than later.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5My least favorite of both series - I was disappointed in the plot, I suppose (I tend to be hyper-critical of health care-related plots), and the wrap-up felt rushed with too little presence of the ancillary cast. That said, it's still Dodd's writing and wonderful characters - ALWAYS worth a read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Danger in a Red Dress wraps up two series by Christina Dodd: the Fortune Hunters and the Lost Texas Hearts. Gabriel Prescott is the link. He is both a Manly brother and the foster brother of the Prescott sisters. An extremely complicated character, his story is both unique and tragic. This is an excellent read that I would recommend.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderful wrap up to a superb series. This series was incredibly fun to read, then again how can you go wrong with four delicious men combined with sexy suspense plots? This wasn't my favorite of the four but I loved how all of the past characters came back to make an appearance.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Christina Dodd's latest novel is "Danger in a Red Dress" and it is the finale to not one, but two, of her series. This is the story of the adopted brother Gabriel from 'Lost Texas Hearts' who is also the last of the 'Fortune Hunters' brothers. This is Dodd at her best in romantic suspense with a story that keeps you reading to find out exactly how the 'good guys' will win.Hannah enjoys her job as a nurse specializing in arthritic patients. She's also honest and a bit out-spoken, and when a angry heir dislikes her comments after her most recent patient left her a bonus in his will, he uses his influence to deprive her of her livelihood. So when a stfanger offers her a job taking care of his ill-tempered mother, Hannah is relieved. But it's not long before she's afraid...and then running for her life.Gabe finally found all of his adopted sisters and recently he located the last piece of evidence to convince his last step-brother of his paternity. His sisters are wonderful and so are his other step-brothers so when the recently-found one asks a favor, Gabe is inclined to help even before telling him he's actually a relative. The job? To prove that the angel of innocence in the picture he's holding is actually and angel of death. So who will Gabe believe--his step-brother or his dream woman?I knew Gabriel's story would have to be big...and it is. There's mystery, suspense, hot sexual tension, and plenty of action. Even knowing the identity of the 'bad guy' doesn't keep the reader from enjoying the chilling journey. The plot is smooth and unfurls beautifully and the characters are real enough to jump off the page. "Danger in a Red Dress" is headed directly for my keeper shelf to nestle with the other books from both series.
