    Mystery Intrigue Action Daring-Liaison
    The first description that comes to mind is “Thriller”…second is “Sensual”.  The situations keep you riveted wanting to know more… “How is she/he/them going to get out of this!  Lots of scheming diversity.  Oh yeah, and lot of apprehension!

    Great read

    I love the book. I actually read the older version but with the same story line. Has action from beginning to end and the characters cracked me up. Just wish Max wasn't so damn mean. LOL.

    Amazing

    This book was the first Romance that I read. I have been reading nothing else since. It has been almost 5 years since reading this book and I can still play every word in my mind.

    Okay, but not great

    This hero had a lot of baggage, and I guess we¿re supposed to excuse his mean attitude (which doesn¿t improve much over the course of the story), out of sympathy for him. It doesn¿t work. The writer does keep you on the edge with the story line itself. I just prefer a hero, with or without past ghosts, to still be portrayed in a better light. He could have been abrupt and still have had a conscience. After the second time he calls the heroine a b---h, I knew what I was in for. It was as if we¿re never supposed to like him. And there were many ¿emotion¿ repetitions. Like ¿I wish I had a penny for every time he said¿¿ This was an interesting story, but I did contemplate putting it down for something that makes you feel good. It¿s definitely not a keeper.

    Highly recommended.

    Do yourself a favor and read this fantastic book. A very fast-paced plot, two incredible lovers, good story theme, and very intriguing. Karen Robards always knows how to capture her audiences. It's a must- read.

    Creates a 'yearning' in the reader

    Suspense & wonder filled my mind page after page! Karen Robard's ability to make the reader 'feel' the action as well as yearn to be a part of it is beyond all other authors I've read. Her descriptive dialogue and interaction between characters is fabulous & intriguing, keeping the reader spellbound to the last page! Definitely one that I will read over & over, especially certain pages of description that take you with them all the way !!!
