Good book, but can be hard to follow at times. Not one you can put down for awhile and pick right back up again.

I like Iris Johansen, but this was not one of her best. Not a lot of action until you get to last maybe 75 pages.

Good read! A bit like the DaVinci code I thought as it had historical aspects, mystery, love connections, murderous villains. All about secrets, psychopaths and intrigue.

Sometimes Iris will write a book that connects to the other books she writes. This is the second one about Wind Dancer, the first was Storm Winds which I also have listed in my books for the club.

I so enjoyed the continuing saga of the wind dancer excellent reading all the things it takes to make a suspenceful story. Iris Johansen is one of the best writers today.
Reap the Wind is aboutCaitlin Vasaro, a woman who has always had a love for the Wind Dancer, an antique statue shaped like a Pegasus which many believe to possess mystical powers. The statue has been passed down in the Andreas family for many generations and the myths surrounding the statue include stories of untold power for anyone in possession of it.
Caitlin to has return to oversee and run the family flower farm in Italy and has produced a perfume that will "rock the world". She always seems to be one step ahead of the bank mortgage and worries about them repossessing her family farm, Vasaro, which is depicted as Utopia.
Then an opportunity comes in the form of Alex Karazov, a wealthy businessman, ex-CIA/KGB man, who makes her a business proposition she can't refuse. He's willing to put up his money to market her perfume, thus paying off the mortgage on Vasaro. She enters the deal, knowing there is more to it than she is being told.
Most people can see where this story is going. Yes, Caitlin and Alex begin a mad, passionate love affair (and some of those scenes in the book are very steamy and not for those that blush at the mere mention of sex). But the surprise is the mystery that comes along with the romance. It seems others of a more evil nature are planning to steal the Wind Dancer while on loan for the perfume advertising campaign.

It's alright.
A great read.
If this had been the first Iris Johansen book I had read it would have been have been the last. It was long, drawn out, convoluted, and far-fetched. I thought it would never end. We're supposed these present-day people find letters left by ancients Greeks around 8,000 B.C. And read them, no translation required, and they read as though written in the present era. Unbelievable!
