Summary: Very Similar to "Waiting for Nick"
Review: Early Nora Roberts novel with similar plot to "Waiting for Nick" in the Stanislaski series, which was superior. Good book, but been there, done that.
Excerpt from the back of the book:
"How dare Brandon Carstairs walk into Raven Williams life after all these years! The mesmerizing musician had broken her heart; now, he was back with a passionate proposal. Were the benefits of a musical collaboration worth the risks that a reunion could entail? Raven had graduated from the school of hard knocks-but would she ever be able to forget Brandon's lessons in loving?"

Summary: Great early Nora Roberts!
Review: I read this first 20 years ago and it has aged well. The hero is the blueprint for Roarke - her hero in the J>D Robb books- similar Irish rogue with rough edges and sauve sophistication- a must read!

Summary: Very Similar to "Waiting for Nick"
Review: One of my favorite books by the great Nora Roberts. It was really interesting to see what would come out of their time apart and how they worked out their problems."Their songs and their passion would electrify a waiting world. Raven Williams was a singer who had an overwhelming need to love and be loved, and whose voice of rich velvet had catapulted her to fame. Brandon Castairs was a musician in whom the charming Irish dreamer warred with a practical British reserve. The music they made together was exciting, disturbing, erotic. Soon it would reach a dangerous crescendo."

Summary: okay, but not great
Review: Raven is a famous singer and Brandon is a charming musician. They'd once been in a relationship, but Brandon left. Raven assumed he'd left because she hadn't wanted to have sex with him, but that wasn't really the case. When Brandon comes back five years later, he wants to try to resume their relationship. Raven resists, but resistance becomes more difficult after they team up to come up with the score for a much anticipated musical. However, for their relationship to last this time around, Raven has to learn to share the more vulnerable side of herself with Brandon. Although I did enjoy this book as a quick read, with occaisional parts that made me smile, nothing about it really grabbed me. Brandon and Raven were both interesting, they weren't really characters that would stick around with me for a while. Also, I got tired of Raven's inability to share any of the really important parts of her life with Brandon. I don't see how she expected them to get into a serious relationship and stay that way without some sharing going on. Even with her lack of relationship experience, I still felt like she should've noticed that she was holding back things from him and not acted like every problem with their relationship was Brandon's fault. Although this isn't too bad a read, I would recommend picking up one of Nora Roberts' other works more - The MacGregor Grooms is good, as is The Stanislaski Brothers.
