Summary: Shower scene redeems it
Review: I agree with both of the reviews that this isn't one of Susan Napier's best books, but the shower scene is just so great that it can't be completely dismissed. Ms. Napier is an excellent writer who uses complicated plots and writes love scenes better than anyone I've ever read. I do not dismiss books simply because they have the Harlequin title: either a book is good or it is not. That it is a romance should not mean that you have to put up with shoddy writing. I have been known to throw books away where the characters are idiots and the plots unbelievable. Ms. Napier's books are keepers, to be re-read whenever one feels the need to escape into a funny, believable story line and great characters. I methodically have gone on-line looking for her books and snap them up as soon as I find them.

Summary: actually quite morbid
Review: I was quite dissapointed with this book, it lacked romance and filled in the blanks with a morbid suspense. I spent the whole story waiting for something to make me smile and just found a deeper sadness. Just when i though the happy ending was on the horizon, it was spoiled by more sad news. Not for someone wanting romance.

Summary: actually quite morbid
Review: Nina Dowling was happy on her island home, despite the missing two years of her life. Then a stranger arrives, bringing flashes of memory and pain. Ryan Flint has pushed his way into Nina's life, forcing her to remember what she can't bear to think about, from their life together to why she ran away.An old plot that was too predictable. Flat characters with only flashes of Napier's usual brilliance. Terribly disappointing contribution from a writer who has always been one of my favorites in the torrid, overbearing male subgenre of romance.
