If you like the Stone Barrington series, you should probably read this book, just to read it. It was not one of his better books. Enough already about how rich everyone is and unless you have a better than average understanding of the antique business (I'm not part of that group) you might get a little bogged down with some of the details of the antiques. And does he really have to go to bed with every women he meets?

Not my favorite of Woods' books. The author is getting a little too chauvinistic for my taste - the women are all "girls" and seem to serve only one purpose in the story. The plot and characters are familiar with all the favorites - Stone, Elaine, Dino, etc. I'd certainly recommend that you read it but, if you're female, prepare to be annoyed at 'your' role in the novel.

I've read all of the Stone Barrington books, but the last few are lacking. I still really enjoy the recurring characters, but the stories/plots have been almost boring the past 2 or 3 books. I feel like the author needs to slow down in writing and actually develop an interesting plot instead of trying to churn out books so quickly. The older Stone Barrington books are great - the newer ones I've found hard to even finish.

Disjointed and predictable.

Stone Barrington is a rich little boy who continues to get into trouble, though not by any fault of his own. Hot Mahogany is the same ole drama in Stone's life. Stone's life is becoming a pattern throughout all of the Stone Barrington novels. You know it gets bad when you intertwine 2 lead characters from different series of your novels into the same book to keep things interesting.
In my humble opinion, Stone needs to be put to rest. There's nothing more he can do, there's no one else he can sleep with-yes, he IS a male slut. And as far as trouble goes, he's pretty much done it all.
Give it a rest already.
