What Reviewers Say About Kim Baldwin’s Books
“In a change of pace from her previous novels of suspense, Kim Baldwin
has given her fans an intelligent romance fi lled with delightful peeks at
the lives of the rich and famous...the reader journeys into some of the
hot dance clubs in Paris and Rome and gets a front row seat to some
very powerful sex scenes. Baldwin defi nitely proves that lust has gotten
a bad rap. Focus of Desire is a great read, with humor, strong dialogue
and heat.” – JustAboutwWrite.com
“With each new book Kim Baldwin improves her craft and her
storytelling. Flight Risk…has heated action and vibrant depictions that
make the reader feel as though she was right in the middle of the story
…fast moving with crisp dialogue, and effective use of the characters’
thoughts and emotions...this reviewer could not put the book down.
Baldwin outdid herself with Flight Risk...her best storytelling to date. I
highly recommend this thrilling story.” – Independent Gay Writer
“A hallmark of great writing is consummate characterization, and
Whitewater Rendezvous does not disappoint…Captures the reader
from the very fi rst page…totally immerses and envelopes the reader in
the Arctic experience. Superior chapter endings, stylishly and tightly
written sentences, precise pacing, and exquisite narrative all coalesce
to produce a novel of fi rst-rate quality, both in concept and expression.”
– Midwest Book Review
“Nature’s fury has nothing on the fi re of desire and passion that burns in
Kim Baldwin’s Force of Nature! Filled with passion, plenty of laughs,
and “yeah, I know how that feels...” moments, Force of Nature is a
book you simply can’t put down. All we have to say is, where’s the
sequel?!” – Outlookpress.com
“‘A riveting novel of suspense’ seems to be a very overworked phrase.
However, it is extremely apt when discussing…Hunter’s Pursuit. Look
for this excellent novel.” – Mega-Scene Magazine
“Hunter’s Pursuit is a...fi erce fi rst novel, an action-packed thriller pitting
deadly professional killers against each other. Baldwin’s fast-paced plot
comes...leavened, as every intelligent adventure novel’s excesses ought
to be, with some lovin’.” – Book Marks, Q Syndicate

my writing. You rock.
