Rating: Summary: REPEAT OF ALL HER OTHER BOOKS-TOO PREDITABLE. Review: I HAVE READ QUITE A FEW OF SANDRA BROWN'S BOOKS HOPING THAT THERE WOULD BE A SIMPLE EVERYDAY MAN AND WOMAN FALLING IN LOVE. SANDRA BROWN ALWAYS WRITES SOME TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS IMPOSSIBLE LOVE AFFAIR. PEOPLE CAN FALL IN LOVE IN THE SIMPLEST OF WAYS. MAYBE SOME PEOPLE LIKE THE FANTASY I PREFER NOT. GIVE ME REALITY PLEASE
Rating: Summary: TRIPE DISGUISED AS FICTION Review: I have read several of Sandra Brown's books but this one is nothing but pure garbage. I like a good romance book just like the next person but this went beyond that. I would have to rate it XXX in the sex department and FFF in the writing quality
Rating: 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: Summary: NOT HER BEST, BUT STILL VERY GOOD! Review: I think it is terrific that Sandra Brown was writing books like this ten years ago. I wish I had discovered her then. This isn't my favorite by her,but it was not bad. I'm always amazed that Ms. Brown can tackle subjects that upon reading the back cover I believed I wouldn't like. She is a master at writing about controversial situations and relationships in a tasteful way. I love everything I have read by this author(with the one exception of ANOTHER DAWN),but my favorites by her are "TEXAS LUCKY", "TEXAS CHASE" AND "TEXAS SAGE".
Rating: Summary: Yuck. Review: I think Sandra wrote this one in a hurry just for something to do. I can't believe I even finished it, but as a Sandra Brown fan, I was hoping it would get better. I guess I just don't enjoy that instant from first sight sexual attraction. It was so unrealistic and sappy--a real disappointment.
Rating: Summary: A Great Love Story Review: I thought the tape was excellent! I loved the characters. I have listened to my tape at least 5 times. I also loved the follow-up tape, "Send No Flowers".
Rating: 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: 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: Summary: A Romance with a Conscience Review: Sloane Fairchild has been hurt many times in her life, and has locked her feelings deep inside her, pouring all her energies into opening a bed-and-breakfast inn near San Francisco. Everything she is as a woman is channeled into the inn, which she perfects down to the last detail. All is going perfectly. Sloane is able to successfully deny her more sensual needs, and take pleasure in her growing business. Until an incredible guest shows up--a man who literally takes her breath away, fight it as she will. Carter turns out to be a best-selling author who needs a hideaway to escape his hectic life and meet the looming deadline for his next book. Sloane is viscerally attracted to him, but fiercely fights it down. Not only is she afraid of involvement, this man is strictly off limits. He is her best friend's fiance. As the attraction between Sloane and Carter grows despite their best efforts, so does their guilt. Carter is not a lothario, but he is engaged for all the wrong reasons: his fiancee and her two small children have been left behind by the death of his best friend. Lending support and assistance, he found himself offering more. Now that he has met Sloane, he sees the error he has made, but it is too late. He feels he must honor his commitment. Sloane, now desperately in love, feels the same, and it is almost unbearable. When the two finally make love, having lost their battle to stay apart, the reader is torn as well. Obviously, Sloane and Carter belong together, but is that fair? The reader is kept on tenterhooks until almost the last page, and the ending is not predictable. This is a lovely romance, one with a conscience, and I recommend it highly.
