Entertaining Right Up to the Last Page
When last we saw Katherine "Kate" Kyle and her partner Jamison "Jay" Parker in the previous book, THE PRICE OF FAME, they had united to pull through a scandal of epic proportions. Kate had been outed and had lost her TV anchor job, but Jay was still in the closet. Now, in this sequel, Kate has become the Director of Public Information for the New York state correctional system. She takes some flak for being lesbian, but her relationship with Jay is still not known by anyone outside their circle of friends.

Jay has continued with her journalism career, and at first all seems well, but very quickly it becomes clear that rocky times are ahead. Not only are there dastardly forces at work behind the scenes that are undermining Kate and her job, but Jay cannot depend on her anonymity being guarded. Then there is a struggle for power at the highest levels of the state and federal government, and certain individuals are willing to sabotage or quite literally dispose of Kate to gain political advantage. Neither Kate nor Jay know how devious and destructive those forces will be, but even though it gradually dawns upon Kate that she is being more than undermined, she is not prepared for the lengths to which desperate men will go. It will take all her physical and emotional strength to get through the disaster that occurs-and Jay will be tested, too.

Author Lynn Ames maintains the excitement of the two women's growing relationship while making sure that the romance and hot love scenes don't derail the action side of the plot. An exciting romantic thriller, THE COST OF COMMITMENT will keep you awake late into the night wondering how Jay and Kate can possibly get out of the mess they find themselves in. Entertaining right up to the last page. ~Lori L.

The Sequel You've Been Waiting For
Kate and Jay are back, and better than ever. This book, the sequel to The Price of Fame, is a true thriller. I had barely started it and realized it would be a 'one sitting' read. The action is great, well detailed, and the tension just keeps growing with each page. The romance is there too, and it's nice to see such strong characters face the dangers to their personal and professional lives as true partners. There's also some well placed strings left untied at the end. I'm hoping the next book will be written sooner rather than later, but either way, it will be worth the wait.

Entertaining thriller sequel to the romance 'The Price of Fame'

Totally absorbing thriller/romance. Not a light weight novel at almost 300 pages. This is a substantial read and you will be surprised at the many twists in the plot.

The characters are strong but not fallible which makes them all the more real.

Although not required to enjoy this story this is the second in a three novel series 'The Price of Fame' is the first and the 'Value of Valor' takes place after this story.
