Summary: WONDERFUL, EXCITING, SUSPENSEFUL!
Review: Another HIT! Brenda Joyce nevers ceases to amaze me by her captivating stories that keep you glued to every page right up to the end. As a young girl Anne Steward loved Dominick Saint Georges the first moment she layed eyes on him. He broke her heart and put it back together again. This book is about their magnetic love and how circumstances could not keep them apart for long. This book will keep you guessing til the end. You can't help but cheer the characters on.

Summary: Boring and Fake
Review: I am a Brenda Joyce fan. But this is her one failure. I thought it was horrible and boring. Has anyone seen "Random Hearts" with Harrison Ford? Yeah, that's how this was. The story line was ok I guess, but the characters and the dialogue were all just so cliche and stupid. I hated it.

Summary: BORING AND UPSETTING
Review: I am sorry but I felt no simpathy for both heros ! HIM: his disappearance for 4 years is unacceptable if only based on his fear of love (not really realistic ). They didn't have a good conversation about that. HER : I think she is very very weak, not at all in phase with what she accomplished for 4 years (running the estate by herself). She was too influencable for my liking. She didn't back up her husband when he needed it.

Summary: Gotta love it
Review: I must say that I was fortunate enough to have found a copy of this book recently.. I am a new fan to the old writtings of Brenda Joyce... I have read several of her true romance books.. Like splendor... and captive as well as others and just like those I found this one just a good.. I love a good book that takes you away and gives you such superb writting that it is so easy to visualize everything that you are reading..
I would recommend this and any other of Brenda Joyce's works..

Summary: Heartwarming, Passionate and Captivating.
Review: I picked up my first Brenda Joyce book SPLENDOR and have bought every one I can find since!! This one is no exception. Rarely do you feel such love between two people as you will between Dominique and Anne.

Summary: An ok read
Review: I'd agree with the reviewers who said this book was a page-turner -- at least in the first half. The second half, though, fell apart. (It didn't seem as well edited.) A number of less-interesting scenes detracted from the plot. No spark, other than lusty sex, developed between the two characters, and I didn't feel that estrangement issue was resolved. So, why was Dom away for 4 years, and what are they going to do about it? What about the mistress and the other two children? Three stars because it had potential to be a really good book.

Review: I'll admit that I'm partial to romances where the couple is married and then has to figure out that they love each other. It doesn't have much to do with real life but it sure makes for good sexual tension in a novel. It that sense, this book succeeds completely.What is less successful is the developement of the love aspect. I agree with other reviewers that the declaration of love on Dom's part seems to happen out of thin air. As for the auxillary plot(s), this one is ok. I generally am annoyed by the seeming trend to require some sort of "evil" as a catalyst to bring the couple together. At least this one seems modestly relevant. It would have been nicer if Dom and Anne simply could have found each other's arms for good reasons -- not out of fear. Bottom line: An ok read, pretty sexy love scenes but not a book that touched me deeply.
