Rating: Summary: A quick, uncomplicated read Review: "Not Even For Love.." was truly a throw-back 80's romance novel. Though it lacks in Sandra's usual in-depth character potrayals..it was a nice, quick Sunday read. Outcome is predicatable, so if you aren't into quick romance reads, you may want to check out some of her newest offerings.

Rating: Summary: No mystery here. Review: No mystery here. This is a love story, and pretty predicatable at that. If you like love stories, this may be for you. If you like mysteries, try another of Sandra Brown's books.

Rating: Summary: A quick, uncomplicated read Review: Not Even For Love, by Sandra Brown is not one of her better books. This book is about as close to a cheap Harlequin romance novel that one will get. I barely got through the book - it was awful. No mystery, no character depth, totally superficial, totally predictable, totally flat, dull, and boring. I believe that Ms. Brown mentioned that the book was written in 1982 and she should have left it there. Touted as a "classic love story, I found absolutely nothing "classic" about this book. Don't waste your time reading this one. Her later books are so much better.

Rating: Summary: It begins on a stormy night with a stranger at the door... Review: This book revolves around three main characters: Jordan, Helmut and Reeves. It's a tale of a woman torn between marrying the rich man she's been dating or gambling on a man she's just met but had some steamy moments with. Truly predictable, this book is a quick read full of some of those nice, romantic love scenes that we've all come to expect from Sandra Brown. It's not her best book, but not her worst. I recommend that you check it out from the library or borrow it from a friend, but I don't think it's worth paying money for...

She does her usual exemplary turn with the latest from New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown. It would seem that if life isn't perfect for Jordan Hadlock, it is very, very good.

However, upon awakening the next morning Jordan finds him gone. Reeves is gone, but not forgotten in Jordan's mind and heart. Later when she serves as hostess at an upscale dinner party hosted by Helmut, the industrialist announces that the two will soon be wed. A photojournalist is there to record the announcement - it is Reeves. As the day of her wedding approaches, Jordan finds herself often thrown together with Reeves. Each encounter leads to a wellspring of emotions. Should she follow her heart or her mind? - Gail Cooke
