Rating:  Summary: Just a Bit of Fluff Review: I guess Sandra Brown is entitled to write a fluff piece like this. She's written so many outstanding books, this minor bit of nonsense can be excused. Too much nothing going on.
Rating:  Summary: End of Book Saved It Review: I had a hard time reading this book in the beginning of the book. By the time I got to the middle, I was so aggravated with Dani and Logan I almost gave up on them. The teasing nearly drove me crazy! But, eventually, the story took a turn that made me glad I finished it. Without the ending of the book being so good, I would have given the book a 2 rating.
Rating:  Summary: sandra brown of old Review: i have yet to read a book by sandra brown that i didnt absolutely love, but i think ive found it. when i read the back of this one, all kinds of wonderful things went thru my mind and i couldnt wait to sink my teeth into it, but not far into it, i realized it wasnt what i thought it would be. the male character is so arrogant and while i understand that this trait is only because of hurt and pain that the female character placed upon him, it still bothered me. his arrogance never left and she put up with it for far more longer than any woman i know wouldve. the whole idea of the "deal" and her "having to accept the terms" drove me insane as well. i did finish the book. i didnt completely hate it, but if you are reading this as someone who is new to sandra brown, i wouldnt choose this one. it may leave you with the wrong impression of her :)
Rating:  Summary: Romantic Review: I love to read anything written by her. I am a hopeless romantic and i just love the happily ever after ending of her books. This one was so great. I made you wish you had a long lost love like the characters. I recommend this book to anyone with a romantic heart.
Rating:  Summary: Lacking! Review: I really had trouble getting interested in this book. It appeared to be such a simple plot that there was nothing to hold my interest. Her book Alibi was good and I guess I expected the ones following to be equally as good. Perhaps my taste is changing and not Sandra.
Rating:  Summary: What Kind of Class? Review: I really like Sandra Brown, however, she really needed to lay off all the schmaltzy dialogue. This story revolves around Logan and Dani, former high school sweethearts. Initially Logan is described as an athletic, tough-guy type, yet throughout the entire story she makes him seem incredibly needy which really is a turn off. Dani comes across better, however, her she still has her moments of being "simpery". As a matter of fact, the whole book is predictable and Dani's reasons for being so involved in her work is easily guessed. All in all, this book was a low point for Sandra Brown and an overall disappointment.
Rating:  Summary: Haven't you ever wondered about Class Reunions? Review: I really think some of the reviewers have been too rough. I started not to read it because of the reviews- but I went on and enjoyed it. Yea, it has its problems- and if I had been the author I would have written somethings differently but... I still enjoyed it. This is a good book for a quick read inbetween those "make you think" novels, or if you just want a sweet love story that you can enjoy and not have to go deep to get into it.Dani and Logan are reunited at a 10 yr. class reunion after being separated for 10 yrs due to a teenage tragedy (the parents didn't approve of their love and separated them). Their adult love lives have been individual fiascos. Dani has become strong, independant with personal tragedies leading to lifelong commitments. Logan has worked hard to become rich constantly trying to proving to himself (& in his mind to Dani's parents) that he is worthy and somebody. Haven't you ever wonder about what happened to certain people in your grad class? Or the what if's- things had worked out and certain people had ended up together. I personally know of someone whose parents split her and her high school sweetheart up. They went on to marry different people have families, to end in divorced and got together after 10 years to have a happy marriage. Sad with a good ending to it.
Rating:  Summary: In A Class By Its Self Review: I thought this book was very well written. Its about a love that was ment to be from the start. The love had a horrible turn the couple was torn apart for along time. But in the end it showed that whats ment to be will always find a way to be.
Rating:  Summary: An aptly-named below par reprint Review: I was so excited when I finally laid my hands on this novel and I couldn't wait to read it. But boy, was I sorely disappointed. The mediocrity of this brief tale (213pp) was saved only by the lively banter of its secondary characters, the adorable Spud and her dear hubby. Dani Quinn and Logan Webster were high school sweethearts separated by the former's "well-meaning" upper-middle-class parents immediately after their wedding. She dreaded going back for a class reunion, for fear of coming face-to-face with her former flame, whom she had not met for 10 years. Logan, on the other hand, had made good since he saw her last. He just happens to possess the land she needed for a summer camp for the children's charity she was working for, Friends in Need. Thus started the Bargain: Dani would get the property if she gave Logan the "wedding night" he never had. What didn't work was the tenterhooks Ms Borwn kept us on. Dani was in the constant "Should I or shouldn't I sleep with him?" moral dilemma. Get a life! Logan was no better, portrayed as such a smitten man from the first who fell for her all over again. I didn't understand why the heroine had to keep her big, "dark" secret till the last - it wasn't as hideous as I expected. Perhaps it was a popular prevailing theme when this novel was first published, October 1984. Fans of Ms Brown's current mainstream fiction had best stick with them and steer clear of this work, and leave this reissue to her die-hard sub-genre aficionados.
Rating:  Summary: Don't bother Review: I'd give this book a negative 5 stars, if that were a choice. I read about 3/4 of it and gave up. This has got to be one of the dumbest books ever written. Two teenagers marry, then the girl's parents make her annul it. The boy spends the next decade or so pining for her and when she comes back to town for the class reunion, he kidnaps her and spends the next few days engaging in soft porn foreplay which he refuses to consummate. You get every detail of who touched who and where and all the heavy breathing, but he never goes through with it. she such a ...-brain that she can neither tear herself away, nor make him go through with it. I'd swear this was writen by a teenager. Don't bother.
