Summary: Remember when this was published!
Review: On a working vacation to collect a knife her uncle purchased, the heroine meets Challoner. She doesn't know that the knife, an old family heirloom that was lost years ago, is also part of the Challoner family history. When she meets Challoner and they begin a romance, and the trouble really begins when she discovers who Challoner really is.Very typical of Stephanie James's (Jayne Ann Krentz) early work. "Silver Linings" (under Krentz not James) is along the same line but much better. A lot of feminist/chauvanist wrangeling, but if you can deal with that, it's a cute read.

Summary: Not bad but dated
Review: This is not a bad book and it kept me interested thoughout, however I never did warm up to the hero. He was just way too controlling. I guess if your secret fantasy is to have a husband dictate every aspect of your life then this may be the hero for you. These days, this kind of hero only works in some sort of erotic BSDM story but not in some simple little candelight romance! Anyway, I try to read romances written no later than 1990 but if your a fan of 1980s romance you would probably enjoy this one. I just wish at some point it was acknowledged that Angie's intuition about staying in Mexico had been correct. For some reason it bugged me that she never said, "Told you so!"
