This is Pretty Women at its best with a little twist in it. Sylvia Hubbard is a true virtuoso in the field of writing suspense romance stories. In Tanner’s Devil there are so many twists and turns but most of all action, romance, cliffhangers and unpredictability. The main characters are flawed which gives the story a realistic feel to it and the length and the content in each page are worth the read. In this story you can truly escape into another world, despite a few syntax and semantic errors towards the end this is a Joyfully Recommended read.
