This book suffered from disjointed writing, unfinished teasers and lack of love in the love story. The ending was horribly abrupt, the plot was both hackneyed and ridiculous and the characters .. what a disappointment.

Ms. Forster seemed to want to paint everyone with such a bad brush that we couldn't help but love our heroine in contrast. It didn't work. The sex scenes were rather hot - quite nice in fact, but not enough emotion in them to convince me that these two should be in love by the end of it. Mr Forster gets a star for realism, not having a virginal heroine, and incorporating child who isn't a vision of sweetness and light. She loses 3 stars because by the time I finished I said to myself "wow. That was bad." and immediately put it into my giveaway pile.

I really enjoyed my first book by the author and would definetly buy more of her books. I enjoyed her characters, the suspense and the love scenes. Jack was the epitome of tall dark and handsome, and I loved Gus for being more than the usual weak kneed woman she actually went out and hired someone to kidnap her. If that isn't spunk I don't know what is. I think we could have used some happily ever after though and I wanted to "see" Bridget/Haley maybe as a teenager and Jack and Gus with another child not to replace the one they lost. You care about these characters and wish them well.

While I really enjoyed this book (as well as all of the other Suzanne Forster books that I've read), I've got to ask...what happened to the ending? There is a major climax and then....nothing. An epilogue or something would have been very appropriate.

"Blush" was my introduction to Ms. Forster. I devoured the book in about 3 hours. It's was a fast, climb into the bathtub, ignore the world, sexy, roller coaster. The main and sub characters are intense...the plot flows almost too quickly as I found myself turning the last, well orchestrated, pages long before I was ready. I was barely able to wait for her next book and was delighted with the semi-sequel "Innocence". I have read most of her other full length novels (enjoyed those experiences immensely) and anticipate another semi-seqel (???). I'm in for the duration, lead the way...

I thought this was a pretty good book. Gus and Jack's characters compliment each other and the plot takes some unexpected twists and turns. A little too much time is spent on Gus's character and how she became the way she is. After reading two other of Ms. Forster's later works (Husband, Lover, Stranger and Innocence) I see a pattern of very intricate plots, but quickly wrapped up endings. You're reading and all of a sudden the book is over. Despite this detail, this book is worth reading.

Suzanne Forster has a way of telling a story that makes you think you're right in the middle of the action....blush was my first Forster book and since then i've been trying to get my hands on as many of her titles as I can, because i know i won't be disappointed....

I bought this book while away on vacation knowing nothing of this author. I loved the book but was disappointed that the ending was so abrupt. An epilogue would have been appropriate. This will not keep me from reading Ms. Forster's other however.

This book surprised me. I didn't expect it to be such a fast read, but it was and it was exciting. I enjoyed it. Now I'm reading "Innocence" by Suzanne Forster and this one carries the Wes Calderon character from "Blush" as its main character. It, too, is a fast read and I'm enjoying it as well. Ms. Forster writes stuff that I like to read!

I normally like Suzanne Forster's books, but this one falls short. Her usual intriguing and exotic storyline just doesn't have that zing that her former stories share. Instead I found myself flipping through the pages just wanting to end it quickly, because i could care less what happened to the characters. All I wanted to do was at least finish the book and make it worth what it was not. Warning to all who are considering this book, skip it and try one of her other books instead or save your money.

Poor erotic fiction. This story is implausible, disjointed, and bites off more than it can chew . Its cast of poorly developed characters do nothing for a plot that meanders in a disconnected fashion. The characters are unlikeable and I found it impossible to discover a single thing in their personalities to relate to or appreciate. Their reasoning is far fetched and their behavior immature. The plot is choppy and over the top. I cannot think of a single reason why the hero and heroine would love each other. There is little opportunity for the development of a relationship between Jack and Gus and yet they carry on as if it's perfectly natural. Gus ultimately falls in love with a man who, as far as she knows, is a kidnapper, a hired criminal, a murderer and a thief. She shows little concern over that fact at all, which only emphasizes her inherent selfishness and stupidity which is not in the lest bit redeemed by her ultimate goal to be a responsible person. They have few, if any, redeeming characteristics between them. Their sexual attraction is wild and reminiscent of bad porn rather than attraction bordering on love. This book isn't about romance of any kind and if it's supposed to be erotic, the thrill is weakened by the terrible personalities of all the characters.
