Description
Two brothers -- Will and Jeff -- and their friend Tom are out one night at their favorite South Beach bar, the Wild Zone, and decide to make a bet on who can be the first to seduce a mysterious-looking young woman drinking by herself. Pretty, dark-haired, blue-eyed Suzy has an innocent, almost ordinary girl-next-door way about her. Little do the friends know that their harmless bet is about to take on a life of its own, a life full of deadly consequences for all concerned.

This was not one of Joy fielding"s best books. The ending did come as a surprise! Most of thecharacters in the book were very dislikeable.

Great story! Didn't figure out the twist until it was spelled out in the story! Loved it!

The only mystery in this book is who are the protagonists? All of the characters are so dislikable, is was impossible to know who you were supposed to root for. I finished it, but did not enjoy it. I won't spoil it for you, but definitely not up to Field's standards. Thumbs down.

Not her best novel. Characters not love able. Woman bartender who stays with philandering boyfriend not like able. Odd pairings of characters.

Two brothers and a friend was out for drinks. Then the they see a woman at the wild zone bar. They try to pick her up and they place a bet on who would bag her first. Then everything went wrong. I like the story.

dangerous by the simple fact that this woman has a plan of her own. It’s not a new scenario by any means but Ms. Fielding does freshen it up. It was an ending that I have read before in books and witnessed unfold in movies but in the case of this book I truly didn’t see it coming, which made it a very, very interesting read. Show Less

I was SO pleased to read Joy Fieldings newest book, Now You See Her, so I started looking for her earlier books. I made a big mistake with this one. I kept reading but I just did NOT like ANYTHING about the characters, their behaviors....it just seemed totally gruesome with no saving grace. Yes,
