Twilight Times on Undercover and BW Starmer
Undercover, April 4, 2001
By "abrugger5" (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews
I was browsing and decided to try someone new when I found this book. I'm a romantic at heart and to
say this book touched me is an understatement. Just the right touch of action mixed with romance to make
me feel I was part of the story. Casey is the perfect heroine and I want to know where I can find a man like
Britt Black. If this is the author's first book then I can't wait for more.
It's a modern story based in the early nineties about a woman who is obsessed with eliminating the world
of drug dealers. Not to spoil the plot but she finds her perfect counterpart and almost loses it all. I highly
recommend this book if you just want to relax and have a good read. I couldn't put it down once I got
started. Just enough romance to fill the tension and I always enjoy cliffhangers to make me want more.

Impressive Debut, April 9, 2001
By alicenw@efortress.com (Tiverton, RI USA) - See all my reviews
This is not a book that starts off slowly and builds up momentum as it goes along. The action starts
immediately with an attempted skyjacking that turns deadly, then continues at a fast pace to the very end.
Starmer does a great job making her characters interesting, intelligent, likable and most of all believable.
Taking the adventure into the sleazy underbelly of the drug trade makes this a very entertaining, fast
paced read. This is the perfect book to take on a plane or to the beach. Once I started reading the time
seemed to disappear. It's great fun, can't wait for more.

Sizzzling! Highly recommended, October 24, 2001
By C. Penn "WordWeaving" (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews
On an ordinary day in February, Cassandra "Casey" Steele takes an normal flight of London only to meet
with the most extraordinary of circumstances. Britt Black, owner of Black Industries International, a
corporate giant in environmental and space technologies, dozes nearby. With the plane only half full, they
have first class to themselves. Then an odd question posed by passenger quietly catches both their
attention. The man asks if they have enough fuel to bypass LaGuardia fly to Chicago. Shortly thereafter,
three men in suits hijack the plane. Britt and Casey thwart the hijacking attempt, but not before Britt's
injured.
An electric connection immediately sparks between Britt and Casey. As he recovers from his injuries,
Cassey sits at his side at the hospital, and later insists he come home with her for a week before resuming
his hectic life style. The week deepens the bond between them, assuring their hearts are irretrievably
engaged. Yet other issues separate them. Not only do they have lives in separate parts of the country, but
Casey also has a dangerous secret. She's an investigative reporter who stalks drug lords like the men who
hijacked their flight. Britt accidentally discovers her secret identity, and lends his resources to aid her
quest. Together they risk death to bring down drug lords that control shipments between Chicago and LA.
Author Barbara Starmer weaves a crafty balance between romance and danger in UNDERCOVER. This fast
paced thrilled grabs the reader's attention from the beginning and never lets go, weaving a deft tale of
murder, complicity and downright evil. The chemistry between this outstanding hero and heroine keeps
the pages sizzling as they struggle with not only their feeling but shared danger. Exciting, thrilling and
riveting, UNDERCOVER comes highly recommended.

Dark Divias Review gives Angel and the Lawman-- 5 Delightful Divias & Recommend Read!
Excerpt:
Jordan’s Review: I loved Angel and the Lawman. One of my favorite authors is Linda Lael Miller and this book
reminded me of her westerns. That’s as big a compliment as I can give. The characters are fresh and utterly
enchanting; the hero suitably macho and mysterious. The story plays out well and with a wonderful plethora of
detail that I find totally absorbing. The ending is superb and totally fits in with the story. I had a couple of
moments where I wondered if there really would be a happy ending or if I was going to be disappointed. The
West comes alive and I got a real feeling for how it must have been to live in the lawless territory of Oklahoma
City. How anyone could resist the pull of this story and not want to finish it all in one sitting, I have no idea. I
certainly couldn’t. It made for a great afternoon’s read.
Barbara Starmer has a winner in Angel and the Lawman. I’m going to be checking out any other offerings by
her to see what other great treasures are available and I will certainly be looking for more by Ms. Starmer in the
future.

Fallen Angels Review gives Angel and the Lawman -- -5 Fallen Angels with a
Recommend Read!
Excerpt:
Looking for an escape from the holiday hubbub, I loaded up Angel and the Lawman and transported
myself back to 1875. I am glad I did; what a treat. Angel and the Lawman was fabulous! I loved the
characters, the setting and Barbara W Starmer's writing style. Set primarily in Oklahoma City, but
encompassing other parts of the West, Alex's tale was thoroughly entertaining and, it seemed to me,
very authentic. Angel and the Lawman is a sweeping story with many facets; sometimes just
exploring the relationships between the characters, at other times dramatic and exciting. The
characters and the settings were so clearly described, I almost felt like I was watching a movie. (It

The Romance Studio Review gives Angel and the Lawman -- -5 Hearts!
Excerpt:
Holy smoking barrels, what a great read! Marshal Black is everything you could imagine in a man:
smart, sexy, honest, and just a little bit ornery. He is the perfect foil for the sweet, intriguing, and
beautiful Alex. There are so many wonderful things about this book. The writing is smooth and paints
a vivid picture of the west and the troubles faced by the brave people that started lives out there. The
author intertwines mystery, romance, and treachery into a page turning read. The West blazes to life
with each character in the book. The bad guys are terribly bad and the good guys are extraordinary.
You can picture this up on the big screen as an old fashioned western; with gunslingers, outlaws,
stolen kisses and a high drama trial, there is absolutely nothing missing. As the story draws to a
close you will find yourself wishing for more and looking for the next story from Ms. Starmer.
