5.0 out of 5 stars Sandra at her Romantic Best!, October 13, 2000

This review is from: Devil's Own (Paperback)

Kerry Bishop was looking for a mercenary soldier, someone who was disreputable and fearless, who could help her rescue nine orphans from a war-torn country. That type of man would be the only kind of person able to help her accomplish her mission. So disguised as a hooker, she entered the bar.

Linc O'Neal, world renowned photojournalist, sat at the bar celebrating the fact that he would be leaving this god-forsaken country where he had just completed his assignment. He was tired, dirty and looked just as bad as some of the local patrons. Perhaps he was celebrating just a little too much because the hooker who just walked up to him looked too good to be true. But he was on his way out of the country and had no time for her. Little did he know that his plans were about to change!

Was Kerry able to get this mean-looking man to help her? You will have to read the book to find out the rest of the story. If you think this sounds interesting--it is. And does it get any better--it sure does. This is one of Sandra's earlier Silhouette Intimate Moments. Just one of the many romantic stories that made her so popular. Sandra was one of the top romance writers early in her career and this book proves she deserved the title as one of the best. If you are a romance fan, I am certain you will enjoy this one!

"The Devil's Own" brings back Cage and Jenny Hendren from "Led Astray". You may want to read that book first. Also an excellent romantic read from Brown.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Story!, June 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Devil's Own (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it. Linc, the anti-hero, was a good contrast to Kerry, the heronine who was trying to save the nine orphans. I was pleasantly surprised to find this book is a continuation of "Led Astray."

5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting! Keeps you on your toes! I couldn't put it down!, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Devil's Own (Paperback)

Another great novel by Sandra Brown! The plot moves along with excitement and intensity. You feel almost as if you are there with the characters experiencing the same things. The tension between the two major characters is spellbinding. I couldn't put the book down until I finished the whole thing!
