Summary: Good and Intense !!
Review: "Breakfast in Bed" is very special; because to me, the way these relationships always end up is in misery and all those bad feelings.

Sloan Fairchild is the owner of this elegant bed-and-breakfast inn, and it's called Fairchild House. Sloan focuses all her energy into Fairchild House and in a way Fairchild House is her sanctuary from the outside world, because in the outside world, Sloan has been hurt too many times and she's sort of hiding from it. Sloan promises her best friend, Alicia to let Alicia's fiancé live in Fairchild House for a month. It was a big mistake... because as soon as Sloan opened that door to let Carter Madison into that house, Alicia's fiancé, there was instant sexual tension.

Carter Madison came to Fairchild House, to work on the last chapter of his book. What he didn't expect was to feel the passion and desire for his fiancée's best friend.

Sloan and Carter try to ignore the mutual passion and desire, because of Alicia, but it's very hard. The time comes when Carter ahs to leave, to marry Alicia, but would Carter be able to leave and fulfill his wedding vows to Alicia?

I love this book because of the strong will power Carter and Sloan shows, to restrain themselves of their passion and desire. I think it's really magical and it's really good. I stayed up until very late to finish "Breakfast in Bed" and it was worth it.

Summary: Very interesting, couldn't put the book down.
Review: Breakfast in Bed was the first book my sister and I read of Sandra Brown. Now, I buy the books and she reads two at a time to my one :o) Sandra's books keep you interested. Although I don't think that young girls should be reading these books, when they become women then they should not miss any of them :o)

Summary: Engrossing tale from Brown when she was a romance novelist
Review: Heard the taped version of Sandra Brown's BREAKFAST IN
BED . . . written back in 1983, this appears to be one of her
earlier books . . . she was strictly a romance novelist then . . . Brown subsequently shifted gears to write mystery thrillers, many of which I have enjoyed (especially since they are almost always different) . . . what seems to have happened: when she became so popular, her publisher took to reissuing her earlier works in both paperback and cassette versions . . . this surprisingly engrossing tale is about a woman, jilted by her boyfriend, who directs all her energy into running an elegant
bed-and-breakfast inn . . . everything is safe and
comfortable until a successful author appears on her doorstep
to finish his latest project . . . they naturally fall in love; however, the author also happens to be her best friend's fiance . . . I must admit that several steamy love scenes also helped keep my attention . . . Richard Poe's narration was excellent.

Summary: Audio Recording Could Have Been Better!
Review: I also listened to the audio cassette version and didn't like it, the story seems like it was good but I just wasn't impressed with Robin Mattson's reading. Don't get me wrong, I actually like Robin Mattson and think she's a good actor but I wish she had put more warmth and emotion into this reading but I guess the low-key reading performance is how the director and producer of this audio recording wanted her to read it but they should have let Robin go for a more dramatic reading that would have shown how good of an actor she is because really she is much better than this so I really can't blame her for the faults with this audio recording. I'm thinking of going to a used book store and looking for the paperback version of Sandra Brown's Breakfast in Bed because the story itself was kind of enjoyable.

Review: I also listened to the audio cassette version and didn't like it, the story seems like it was good but I just wasn't impressed with the audio recording and felt it was kind of flat and I'm thinking of going to a used book store and looking for the paperback version of Sandra Brown's Breakfast in Bed because the story itself was kind of enjoyable.

Summary: Didn't like the abridged audio tape version!
Review: I bought the abridged audio tape because I like the actress who reads it, I have seen her on several different soap operas and TV guest appearances and I have always though that she was a good actress but I'm disappointed with her reading of this book she sounded flat and unemotional and used the same voice for each character and I like it when they use different voices for all the different characters so I was just not happy with the audio tape at all and promptly gave it away! I see the unabridged audio tape version is read by someone else but since I didn't like the abridged tape version I definitely will not buy the unabridged tapes!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not the best!
Review: I listened to the audio cassette recording and I just didn't care for the story or the characters and I only finished the tapes to see what would happen with the guy named Carter Madison and the lady named Sloan Fairchild and this is not something I would listen to again and was not a keeper!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: HATE THE WAY THEY MET, LOVE THE WAY THEY LOVE!
Review: I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD BOOK TO READ. IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO FIND A BOOK TO ESCAPE WITH. I LIKED HOW CARTER WAS SO DEDICATED TO HELP SLOAN'S BEST FRIEND BY MARRING HER WHEN HE KNEW IN HIS HEART THAT THEY DID NOT LOVE EACH OTHER. SLOAN'S FRIEND WAS MARRIED TO CARTER'S BEST FRIEND BEFORE HE DIED, SO CARTER FELT THAT HE NEEDED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. IT WASNT UNTIL CARTER MET SLOAN THAT HE REALIZED THAT HE NEEDED TO FOLLOW HIS HEART.
I'M A BIG FAN OF BEST FRIENDS FRIEND'S FINDING LOVE. THAT'S HOW I MET MY HUSBAND. ALTHOUGH THE WHOLE THING WITH NOT WAITING UNTIL THE WEDDING WAS CALLED OFF TO PURSUE THEIR RELATIONSHIPS. I DONT LIKE TO READ ABOUT PEOPLE CHEATING ON EACH OTHER.
ANYWAY A VERY NICE READ, ENJOY ON A RAINY DAY.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Lacking!
Review: Like a previous reviewer I listened to the Breakfast in Bed audio recording but unlike that reviewer who liked it I really didn't like it at all and was very disappointed and found it lacking! The story seemed like it was okay but the audio recording was blah! Buy the regular book instead of the audiobook!

Rating: 4 stars

This book starts with her running a breakfast-in-bed inn in San Franscisco and Amelia, her best friend has introduced her boyfriend, Carter for a stay.
