Ash longs to paint her as intensely as he hungers to touch her. But their investigation draws them into a rarified circle where priceless antiques are bought, sold, gambled away, and stolen, where what you possess is who you are, and where what you desire becomes a deadly obsession. . . .

| The Collector was one of the most cookie cutter books that I've read in a long time. In my opinion this was a watered down romance rather than a thriller or suspense title. While I didn't find it boring, it didn't require much thinking either. The characters were pretty basic and I didn't find them particularly interesting. The writing style and pacing was good, which made for an easy read. Unfortunately, even with those two positives, it didn't make the story itself any more enjoyable.
