Reviews - What do customers think about Controlling Interest?
 | Controllling Interest is Ms. White's best book Dec 27, 2008 |
| I have read several books by this author, this one being the first. It was by far her best book thus far. The story moves quickly, the characters are interesting and it has a good storyline to boot. If you're looking at this author, so for this book! I love the fact that her characters are Christians with some flaws that we ALL have! | | |  | When Private Investigation and Romance Collide Dec 17, 2008 |
What happens when a Private Investigator and an ex-cop are forced to work together in order to save a struggling detective agency? What happens when both the attraction and animosity between them sparks on almost every page? You get Controlling Interest by Elizabeth White.
Natalie Tubberville has left the Tunica County Sheriff's Department to try her hand in the world of private investigating. Matt Hogan's detective agency suffered a major financial setback and he was forced to accept partnership with a wealthy investor. With the partnership comes a partner he never expected or wanted, Natalie. Natalie also has no interest in partnering with anyone. So, when a runaway bride is the case they must solve they agree to work together long enough to solve it, but whoever solves it first wins the agency. The sparks fly.
In an intriguing twist of plots and characters, Elizabeth has her readers hoping Natalie and Matt find the bride one second and rooting for the bride to get away the next. The runaway fiancé manages to remain one step ahead of them. And the situations they find themselves thrown into can be humorous and dangerous. Elizabeth keeps you turning the pages from start to finish. As the characters travel from Memphis, down the Mississippi River through Louisiana and Alabama, romance and faith weave an interesting story. While this was the first of Elizabeth White's books I have read it won't be the last. I plan to go back and read her others also. I highly recommend this book.
| | | | Another fabulous book by Elizabeth White! Sep 13, 2008 |
| Elizabeth White has written another funny, entertaining, and at times very poignant novel, sprinkled with a bit of suspense. I enjoyed reading Controlling Interest. The characters were realistically flawed, which made their story more compelling. I highly recommend reading this book! | | | | Get Your Funny On Aug 21, 2008 |
Controlling Interest tickles your funny bone and your romantic one too. The interaction between Matt Hogan and Natalie Tubberville is priceless. Every time they got close enough you thought they would kiss, someone or something would spoil it. Despite fumbling through the investigation into the disappearance of a Pakistan bride-to-be, Natalie seems to stumble on the right information. The little twist of suspense into why the Pakistan woman disappeared is nice touch to the story. I loved how Elizabeth pulled us into her POV and showed us the fear and bravery this woman had to strike out on her own.
In true romance genre fashion, something has kept Matt and Natalie from ending up together. After solving the case of the runaway bride, they go their separate ways. Or so they think, 'cause God has other plans for them.
A great read and a nice change from the books I normally read that are loaded with suspense. | | | | A Fun Read Jun 18, 2008 |
