Summary: Loved It!!
Review: I enjoyed the audio of this book. It's not the best story I've ever read/heard but it's not the worst. You do wonder that Grant continues to pursue Shelly after her protests but since she's so ambivalent even while rejecting him, he doesn't seem to be a stalker for continuing. Overall, I enjoyed it.
As for the accents, voices, etc., I've learned to ignore that while listening to an audio book--no one has gotten every regional accent right on any audio I've had, so I just suspend disbelief and listen for the story, not the performance.

Summary: NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITES!
Review: I HAD WISHED TO FIND MAYBE LESS OF AN AGE GAP. PURELY BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE AT THE AGE OF 16. IF SHELLEY HAD BEEN 18 I THINK THIS BOOK WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE BELIEVABLE. TWO YEARS CAN DO A LOT IN THE MATURITY DEPARTMENT.
IT MAKES IT SOUND LIKE SHE IS STILL INFATUATED WITH HER OLD HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER. THE ONLY REASON I BELIEVED THAT HE WAS IN LOVE WITH HER IS BECAUSE HE HAD TRIED TO CONTACT HER A FEW YEAR LATER. MAKING SURE SHE WAS DOING OKAY AND WAS HAPPY.
OVERALL THE BOOK JUST MADE ME FEEL DISGUSTED ABOUT THE SITUATION. TEACHERS GET IN BIG TROUBLE ABOUT THIS KIND OF STUFF AND NOW PEOPLE ARE WRITING STORIES ABOUT IT. I THINK THIS COULD HAVE STAYED OUT OF SANDRA BROWNS COLLECTION OF BOOKS.

Summary: A breathtaking love story
Review: I normally love Sandra Brown's books. This one had so little story and so much bedroom that I am glad that I paid 25 cents for it at half-price books (in a bunch of 4 for a dollar). It is still in the stands at stores, and I was sorely tempted, but \
I would really have been sorely disappointed.

Summary: Loved It!!
Review: I'm new to Romance novels, so perhaps that's why I don't feel anything but love, love, love for this book. I agree that Grant's consistent pursuit of Shelley caught me off guard at first, but I love how he's written. He's assertive and goes after what he wants. It's nice seeing a male character experience feelings for a woman that span a decade. So many books always make it about the woman pursuing a man or a man not remembering her. Beside, with all the mixed messages she sends out in the beginning, it's a wonder he continued. My favorite part of the book is the 3 week break from each other. That really kept my interest when they were then put together for study/research nights. I couldn't wait!! And I loved how he loved her on the last 2-3 pages. It caused me to go out and buy more "classic love story" novels.

Summary: Call Quality Control
Review: This book was a Silhoutte Desire (that Sandra Brown wrote as Erin St. Clair) back in the mid eighties when I was pretty much an adolesent and found it provocative and interesting. Now I am yawning not only from how unrealistic the plot us , but also because the quality control is so bad. If your going to the trouble of putting this on a CD then you should at least make sure that your reader is interested in doing a good performance. Ms. Ziemba has a lot of problems with mispronouncing words as well as not getting her vocalizations to match the narrative. Also, The characters, who are all supposed to be from Oklahoma soumd like they are from Boston, the American South, and several neighborhoods in New York City. She even has the character of the Chancellor accidentally refer to the hero as "Mr. Grant" as opposed to "Mr. Chapman". The mistake was understandable as his name is "Grant Chapman", but the mistake should have been rerecorded. Had Ms. Brown wrote this about 10 years later in her writing career, it might have been a better story. It is, however, as adolescent as Shelley Browning when she first met Mr. Chapman.

Summary: A Kiss to throw-up over
Review: This has to be one of the cheesiest, poorest written romance novels I have ever read. This book might be enjoyed by a 15 year old at most. First of all, it is rather sick that a grown man seduces a 16 year old girl. Then, when she is an adult, he acts like nothing more than a hungry, perverted male. The comments he comes out with are enough for almost any woman to want to smack him in the face.
This book is poorly written, poorly read on audio and not worthy of any human-beings time or money.

Summary: A breathtaking love story
Review: This is a story about a school girl who is infatuated by her teacher cherishes the memory of a stolen kiss with her charming teacher. Turning into a lady and a broken marriage destiny brings her back to her first crush. From then on the script is completely breathtaking and real with regards to the feelings of sin mixed with extreme passion between the inseparable couple. A Must Read for those who enjoy romantic fiction!

Summary: Call Quality Control
Review: WOW. I bought this book on my lunch hour and was halfway through it before I needed to return to work. I tried to put it in my briefcase to save for later but couldn't put it down. So i closed my office door and finished it. I've only read a few of her books, and even though this is a reprint (it was orginally published in 1983), it is as contemporary today as it was when it was written. I enjoyed the characters Shelley and Grant tremendously. And when they finally give in to their desires and needs--WOW. Again.
