Rating: Summary: Good read Review: Romantic suspense books has always been a favorite of mine which was one of the reasons I picked this book up. But, I was very surprised how fast Ms. Sala grabs you and keeps you reading. But, beware, if you are an easy cryer, you will definitely want to keep you kleenxes handy. Some might think it was a bit hooky that Ben takes one look at China and is hooked; but I liked it. Ben was tough and strong, but too me his sensitivity is was got me. You know that he is the type of guy that will always be there for you. And China, with the blows she was dealt, she could easily have been a whipping post, but as they say "that, that does not kill you, makes you stronger." Definitely a book I would recommend.
Rating: Summary: Not bad Review: This book lacked suspense a little too much for it to be labeled 'Suspense/Romance'. It should be labeled simply 'Romance'. I am an avid romance reader, but I was bored with the romance in this one. The character of Ben English got on my nerves because he was a little too perfect and seemed obsessed with the female lead China. I never did understand how he fell in love with her just by seeing her one time on the streets and barely that when she was shot. It moved too fast and he became too much with the 'honey' endearments and 'sweet' words when he didn't even know her. Throughout the story I was never fully convinced he loved her and wasn't sure when it happened, or if it ever did. China was a bit unsecure for my taste and trusted him too fast without knowing him. Considering some wacko was after her and she was being used by everyone in her life, a few sweet words and she was 'in love'. I just wasn't convinced.~China is pregnant and alone. She is left homeless and walking the streets after her loser boyfriend takes off with all her money. She finds herself the victim of a woman's bullet when the woman kills a photographer trying to take a picture of her on the streets. China Brown is the only witness to the senseless killing and when the woman turns the gun on her she is sure she is dead. Waking up later in the hospital, she finds her baby dead and a very attentive detective at her side. How can she live without her baby? Ben English has to track the merciless killer who thought nothing of murdering a man and then a helpless pregnant woman. He finds a bond with her that he can't explain and wants her to trust him. Things get touchy when at first they are looking for a man and find out its a woman with long blonde hair that they should be looking for and someone who may have a grudge against a tabloid photographer. That could be hundreds of people! He must protect the case's only witness, a shattered woman who doesn't want to live. Is the killer the person they least suspect? Is China in immediate danger? Are they tracking the wrong person? Tracy Talley~@

Rating: Summary: A wonderfully warm written love story ! Review: This was another winner from author Sharon Sala, her books always keeps me glued to the pages from beginning to end and this one was no exception. It is full of emotion as you go through the struggle with China Brown to recover from the horrible crime that she almost dies from. Because of Miss Sala's wonderful way of writing, you can feel every thing that her characters go through. The hero in this book, Ben is a man every women hopes to meet in their life time. He is a man full of love for this women that he has just met, thier bond is instant and their love story is packed full of emotion and as always in Miss Sala's writing there are some suprises. This is a book not to be missed and it will stay with me for a long time !
Rating: Summary: Not bad Review: This was not the most exciting book I've ever read, but it wasn't bad either. It's a little slow at times but I'm the type who will give up on a book that totally disinterests me, and this one I was interested enough to finish until the end. Worth the read if picked up at the library or at a used bookstore.
