Summary: Classy romance by the great Gwynne Forster
Review: Her dreams apparently died when he left her alone and pregnant, leaving her to thinking some role model she turned out to be. Amanda Ross never expected her lover to desert her. However, he did leave her and she wonders how a single, pregnant woman can accept the job of principal of a junior high school in Caution Point, North Carolina. Her doctor and friend Jacob Graham suggests that she become married to his marital choice, Marcus Hickson, who needs money so his daughter can have needed surgery. Marcus and Amanda agree to a marriage of convenience that will provide her and her unborn respectability and give him the cash he needs to take care of his daughter. However, living under the same roof breeds attraction and love, emotions neither want. However, even before Marcus and Amanda can fully explore their growing feelings, an assailant abducts her newborn. Not only does he feel he must rescue his beloved stepson, Marcus knows he must overcome his fear of commitment, so that this foursome can find long term happiness as a family together. By now readers have become obsessed with the incredibly skilled Gwynne Forster, whose relationship romances are constantly among the top novels available to readers. Her latest story, BEYOND DESIRE, takes the trite marriage of convenience theme and against all odds turns it into a brilliant tale of redemption and love. As usual her protagonists are caring, charming, and compassionate. No one on the scene today mixes romance and social issues with more class and finesse than the great Gwynne Forster.

Summary: Beyond Desire is beyond words!
Review: A marriage of convenience. A man driven by the love of his beloved daughter. A man of principal and an unlimited pain threshold. A woman of pride and strength. A small Virginian town and the choices two people make. Only a gifted writer such as Gwynne Forster can literally make words dance on a page. Her gift of weaving sensuous love scence between the heroine and hero without even touching is nothing less than amazing. This is such a heartwarming story of family love, challenges, heartbreak, and joy. The heroine and heo exhibit such a commanding presence of character and dignity that impressed this reviewer to no end.

Summary: My first Romance Novel
Review: Beyond Desire was my first encounter with romance. What a wonderful choice. Since that time I have everything Ms. Forester writes. She is such a skilled author. You are never disappointed when you purchase any of her work. I loved the characters in this book. I really was impressed with Amy the little girl. She seemed to seal the relationship with Marcus and Amanda. Amanda was a very intelligent woman with alot going for her. Marcus was smart, but he was really stubborn. I loved his brother too. Can't wait for his story. You Go Gwynne!

Summary: Exquisite!
Review: Beyond Desire was my first Gwynne Forster read. It was an excellent choice because I believe I was afforded the opportunity to experience this author at her best...As evidenced by the previous reviews! Ms. Forster goes deep, deep into the very heart of her characters. You not only witness their actions, but you also have a front row seat to the reason WHY they behave the way they do. Amanda and Marcus both have wounded souls. It is an absolute treat to watch them draw ever closer, as their love for each other comes to the surface. Bravo, Ms. Forster!

Summary: Heart-throbbing!!
Review: I absolutely adored this enchanting love story!! I've reread it about three times. This novel about love, pride, and sacrifices couldn't have been written by any other writer. Amanda was the most caring and loyal person. Amy and Marcus couldn't have asked for a more sincere, and loving individual in thier lives. I enjoyed the way Marcus attempted to keep Amanda at arms length. However, Amanda's kindness touched him to the very core. Luke was also a very encouraging character in this novel. He seemed to read his brother's mind and actions without uttering a word. Excellent novel!!!! I loveed it. It reminded me of the first one Sealed with a Kiss!! Keep up the good work!!

Summary: Absolutely Fantastic!!!!
Review: I borrowed this book from a friend to read during my lunch break and I could not put it down. It was well written and I felt as though I knew the characters at the end. I especially liked Amy. Amanda and Marcus were both believable characters and their journey to love was very touching. I am definitely going to get a copy to add to my collection. Keep up the good work Ms. Forster

Summary: Encore! Encore! One of the best romances I've read in years
Review: I didn't think that any story could top the brilliance of Obsession. I'm so happy to say that I was wrong! Gwynne Forster has a fan for life in me. Marcus and Amanda were meant to be together, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching two wary hearts learn to love and trust again (though I wanted to shake Marcus for being so stubborn)! I applaud Ms. Forster for giving Amanda the strength and courage to fight for the family and the man she loves. As for Marcus...well, all I have to say is that when I do meet my Prince Charming, I hope he's as loving, caring and passionate as Marcus! Once again, Ms. Forster has proven that dreams can and do come true. Excellent story!!
