Summary: Riveting! Keeps you on your toes! I couldn't put it down!
Review: Another great novel by Sandra Brown! The plot moves along with excitement and intensity. You feel almost as if you are there with the characters experiencing the same things. The tension between the two major characters is spellbinding. I couldn't put the book down until I finished the whole thing!

Summary: Second time around
Review: As usual Sandra has written a interesting novel and it is still as good now as when she first had it printed in 1987. At that time it was under her pen name of Erin St. Claire. Her newer books have more "meat" to them but this is a good fast read.

Summary: Good Story!
Review: I enjoyed this book and would recommend it. Linc, the anti-hero, was a good contrast to Kerry, the heronine who was trying to save the nine orphans. I was pleasantly surprised to find this book is a continuation of "Led Astray."

Summary: It was Great!!!
Review: I have read this book and I thought it was wonderful! Of course, I am a softy when it comes to love scenes. You know, where the guy says "I love you" to the girl for the first time. What I liked most about this book, though, was the fact that it wasn't so far-fetched as to make people believe that it could never happen.The fact that he risked life and limb to help her was realistic in itself. I especially loved the ending, though. All in all, it was a terrific book!

Summary: Not that great, but not bad..
Review: I think reprints are humorous to a point. It shows you how the author started out as a new/young writer. This quick read was okay, even though it was pretty predictable. SB is like any other writer, she comes up with some good ideas for a story plot at times, and at times she doesn't. I read this story through in one day and I liked Linc a great deal. Brown has a sense of wit that always comes through in her characters. I agree the plot was a little far-fetched, but it's only fiction. I'd recommend this book as a quick romance read.

Summary: Heroine Is Ridiculous & Plot is Unrealistic...
Review: I wanted so much to love this story but I couldn't. The heroine is so ridiculous and out of touch with reality that I actually laughed out loud at the things she said and did.
The fact that she is in Mexico during 1986 during some kind of rebellion and trying to smuggle 9 orphans out was pushing it, but when she waltzes into a seedy bar and grabs the first drunk man she finds to help her with these helpless kids I had to laugh.
She not only forces this poor guy to help her, but she ruins his life and destroys his things to get her way when he is trying to leave the war torn country before he is killed. I wanted to shove her down a hill and tell the hero to run, lol.
The 'romance' scenes were a bit much considering the circumstances and really based on fantasy considering they are 11 helpless people trying to get out of a country crawling with rebels. This hero kind of surprises me at times for being someone who was in Vietnam, Cambodia, and so forth and can't seem to get his act together here in Mexico. He was almost like the heroine in that aspect.
The characters didn't convince me they were meant to be together and the heroine's lack of intelligence and depth made it seem all the more uninteresting. The hero deserved better IMO.
If you're new to Sandra Brown, skip this one and try another of her better ones. This is an older book and the writing shows it age.

Kerry knew she taking a chance trying to smuggle 9 orphans out of a hostile country on her own, so she takes a chance and 'coerces' the largest and most disreputable man she can find in the bar to help her cause.
Linc is NOT happy about what happens to him and how he is tricked, but he can't seem to turn away from the helpless woman and the 9 kids. He knows he is going to pay for this and pay dearly.
