Summary: Quick, not so lighthearted, romantic read...
Review: After reading the mixed reviews, I wasn't too sure if I'd like this book. So, I checked out the unabridged audiobook version from the library and took a chance. The verdict? I liked it. While it's not your typical "soft" romance, filled with fluff and sugary sweet words -- which I'm not criticizing since I LOVE historical romance novels for just that reason -- it was rather interesting and had enough romance to keep me reading. I agree that the characters could have been fleshed out a little more -- for instance, Hawke did appear to be a little stiff and unyielding, which did make you wonder why Miranda fell so fast for him. But, her son was a likeable little guy, and Hawke did have some likeable characteristics. And since Miranda's ex-husband was a bit of a jerk, it wasn't hard to imagine why she'd fall so easily for Hawke, who had some of the qualities she'd hoped for in her marriage. All in all, I found it to be a satisfying read--until I got to the last sentence. Ms. Brown could have left that out!

Summary: Morgan Fairchild is the worst reader I've heard yet!
Review: An interesting story, but the bad reading was very distracting. If fact, she brought the rating of the story down.

Summary: A One-Nighter
Review: Having read many of Ms. Brown's works, I felt the same "draw" into her story as always. I understand others' comments about the harsh exterior of Hawke and his uncivilized nature; however, this kind of primitive nature was also part of what made him appeal to that within women which is perhaps forbidden or that which is less-than-acceptable behavior in a mate. Once that crude, tough exterior was peeled away, Hawke was quite the heart-throb that we all dream of (whether we want to admit it or not). The book overall was an all-nighter and was very enjoyable.

Summary: I am a fan forever!
Review: I am playing catch up in enjoying the magic that is Sandra Brown. I guess this topic is not for everyone but I could not put it down. I had to know what happened. I will read anything Sandra Brown.

Summary: "A woman's place?!!"
Review: I couldn't believe while I was reading that this book had been bought for more than 10 thousand people! Such a waste of money and time that I had to say something to prevent other "innocents" like myself from buying it. I found the story plain and irrealistic, and awfully chauvinistic. I almost yell when the "hero" tells Miranda "woman! stay in your place" and then adds "which is beneath a man" Please! What is worst is that the story is placed in modern times, not in the middle age; and the female character, a single parent, a modern and working gal, accepts this kind of treatment without hesitation. What is more, she falls for it! Furthermore, I found the ending dangerous because it encourages young or candid people to believe that it is really easy to "negociate" with the goverment and get away with a felony; and also easy for the author who obviously didn't spend much of her time figuring out how to wrap up and sell it.

Summary: Once again this story left me feeling flat, and disappointed
Review: I felt there could have been more spark Hawk and his captive. There were some funny moments. But in the end I had an "OH Well" feeling not a "WOW" feeling

Summary: A very good one
Review: I have read over half of Mrs. Browns books and love everyone I read, of course there are a couple that are my favorites and this is definately one of them!! So I will for-warn anyone that has a problem with kidnapping DO NOT READ THIS ONE. It clearly states what this book is about so dont buy it if you have a problem with it, because personally I loved this book. I think must women have a secret need to be ordered around but they just dont have the nerve to say it.

Summary: Guidebook for the He-Man Woman-Haters Club...?
Review: I read this a long time ago, when it was published in the "Loveswept" series. I really looked forward to reading it because I had enjoyed other books by Sandra Brown, but in this one the "hero" was awful! He kidnaps a woman and her son, possibly placing them in danger, certainly causing the woman much torment and humiliation, and this is supposed to be a ROMANCE novel? Get real! I expected Hawk to grab the heroine by the hair and drag her back to his cave! Ms. Brown is great at romance; her novels are always very steamy. But get with the program! Woman who read "contemporary" romance novels aren't happy with this type of "hero"! I read this book several years ago, but it still irks me so much that I had to submit this review. Pass on this one, even if you're a big Sandra Brown fan.

Summary: Disappointing!!!
Review: I recently read a few books by sandra brown, the last being Fat Tuesday and the Witness. I liked her style, so I ordered a few more books which she wrote earlier one of which was this book. It seemed to me that she changed her style from ten cent romance novels to romance and mystery, and I was quite disappointed in this book.Too much repeating, too much unnecessary explaining of details and too much cursing. This book asked the reader to believe things that were not believable by any stretch of the imagination. If you enjoy short every-day romance this book is fine....but I prefer her later books which show her true talent.
