Review: Silhouette Special Edition #277 State Secrets @ 1985

David Goddard's job was to discover if Holly Llewellyn was exactly who she claimed to be before the FBI indicted her for aiding and abetting a fugitive.

Suddenly, Holly found herself challenged by a man like no other. But who exactly was David Goddard, just a man interested in her cooking classes, or someone much more interested in her private affairs? All she knew was that with David, safety and self-control were deserting her.

Summary: Great Audio!
Review: What's better than soaking in a hot tub and reading a Silhouette Romance? Listening to one. Just be sure to let the love in your life know the man's voice he hears is on tape.

The story starts with a FBI agent named David being briefed on an assignment. What is the assignment? The future president has some unsavory relatives that need to be checked out. When the handsome David Goddard takes Holly Llewellyn's cooking class and moves into her and her nephew's life, she takes the usual precautions. She may be hiding the fact that one relative is about to be president and another is a fugitive, but she isn't denying it to herself, and that is why she is suspicious of everyone. Holly and her nephew find their lives turned upside down because of their popular relatives.

I found this romance at my local library. Although I listened to the abridged version, I don't feel I missed much and was satisfactorily entertained. It is fresh, contemporary and great for those times when you don't have time to read.

Summary: Not What I Expected
Review: When I read the synopsis for this book, I was expecting the major conflict to be David having to deal with lying to the woman he was falling in love with. But that's only the first half of the book. The second half is focused on Holly being unable to forget that David was responsible for the imprisonment of her brother and not willing to put her heart on the line for a man who has a job that involves risking his life. All the characters in this book are well written. Anyone can easily relate to Holly, and at the same time have sympathy for David and the situation he is in. This is a charming story that moves quickly and is a wonderful, light romance.
