Summary: Good, but not one of her better ones.
Review: At first I didn't like the book because I don't like to read books where the main characters get hurt. The first time I read it I thought that it was too sad and I didn't really like it. I read it a second time because Sandra Brown books are usually so good, and I decided to give her book another try. This time I liked it better. It has romantic parts in it like no other book. Still I think that Sandra Brown's other books are better. (Just my opinion.)

Summary: Good Once It Got Going
Review: At first I was not a big fan of this book. Kyla's husband died in a terrorist bombing the day after her son was born. I friend of her husband's survived the tragedy, and awakes three weeks later, and is given belongings that were salvaged from his room. Among them are some letters that Kyla had written to her husband, and once Trevor reads them, he's in love.He moves to her town and follows her around until he sees a chance to introduce himself. This is the part I didn't like. He knew where both her house and job were, and used information from her letters to gain an idea of her taste and started to build her a dream world. This freaked me out. It seemed to be that Kyla should get a restraining order against this obsessed maniac instead of falling in love with him. Because of this, I almost stopped reading the book. However, the book improved after a little while. I was happy when it seemed that Trevor genuinly loved Kyla and her son. She caused him a great amount of heartache and he was still supportive and loving towards her. I began to feel more sorry for him than Kyla. Luckily, she came around once she realized that she actually did like him. However, how will she react when she finds that Trevor knew her husband, had read her letters, and had planned their meeting and marriage before he'd ever met her? You'll see. The characters were actually nice. Trevor seemed loving, understanding, and kind. Kyla was loyal, smart, and a good woman for Trevor. The secondary characters like Kyla's friend and her parents and son were also delightful. This book was pretty good once it got in depth and I recommend it as a light read.

Summary: Worth the read!
Review: Great storyline, great characters, sweet love scenes that don't get gross with graphics- a great read! It will be a keeper for me! Kyla's husband, Richard- a marine who is guarding the embassy- dies during a bombing, the day after the birth of their little boy. Trevor, also a marine, survives the bombing losing his left eye as well as his left side being crushed. He survives the extensive pain, surgeries, and rehab by reading and rereading letters that were in with his belongings returned to him. Sweet love letters written by Kyla to Richard. He decides he wants to meet the women of such love. When he finally gets out of rehab 1 1/2 years later he heads to where Kyla & son are now living with her parents. She's a "knock-out!" Love at first sight for Trevor- so he starts finding ways to meet Kyla and get to know her better, become a part of her life and introduce her to the man he has become. He can't just go up to her and introduce himself to her because he was known as "Smooch"- if that tells you anything. Richard had shared "Smooch's" adventures with Kyla & she detested him. But life has given Trevor a 2nd chance. And he wants to prove that to Kyla before she finds out the truth of who he was. A great love story! Trevor is a doll and Kyla is a sweetie that has to finally give up her husbands ghost to love another. It is easy for us to say "Kyla get real and go after Trevor!" But until Trevor she has been living for her son, convincing herself that there will never be another love for her. It is easy as a reader to say give it up but put yourself in her place. It's a keeper of a book!

Summary: One of the best books I have ever read.
Review: I am a Sandra Brown follower and have read most of her books. She truly shows her talent in this one. I couldn't put the book down and finished it in two days! It's that good!

Summary: Soft Porn
Review: I am no prude but this book was a little too revealing for my taste. It wasn't a classy love story. It was basically pornographic in some parts. And the whining by Kayla. It went on and on.

Summary: I enjoyed it, but -
Review: I enjoyed the novel, but Kyla's behavior became very frustrating after a while. Her undying love for her 1st husband was beautiful, but even after poor Trevor managed to marry her, it was about a month before she'd get close to him. And after he slavishly did all she could dream of, she still said some really wretched, ugly things to him when she found out the truth (which of course she does). Personally, I'm dying to find out what happens to Babs. Is there any hope Sandra Brown will write a story about Babs, a woman who is not strictly chaste like all of Brown's heroines, but still has a wonderfyul heart?

Summary: Almost fell asleep
Review: I found this book by Sandra Brown to be incredibly boring. It was very annoying how Kyla was trying to be faithful to her deceased husband throughout the book. This book just did nothing for me.

Summary: Somewhat frustrating
Review: I have to agree with the reader from West Texas, a good book but not her best. I was really frustrated with Kyla and her desire to be faithful to her dead husband. Trevor was a wonderful guy and she kept resisting him. After a while of this it got quite old. Trevor should have let her go and let her be miserable alone. I think her friend Babs had the right idea. I also liked Kyla's parents and even Trevor's dad. The ending was good and I didn't regret reading the book but again, I've read much better books from Sandra Brown.
