Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* The last thing Angela Baring expects when she goes back to the office for a file she has forgotten is to see her boss being shot by a hit man. And now the murderer is after her, too. Trent Stewart, a veteran cop, is the homicide detective on the case, and he knows that the protective feelings he has for Angela are making him lose his objectivity about the case. To keep her safe, Angela is moved from Philadelphia, put into a witness protection program in Chicago, and given the name Jane Johnson. Everything is fine for two years, until "Jane" prevents a child from being hit by a car and is hailed as a heroine by the press. Trent sees her on the national news, and knows there's going to be trouble, so against his better judgment he whisks Angela away. This is romantic suspense at its spine-tingling best. Wootson makes the danger palpable, and treats the reader to a white-knuckled, nail-biting good time. Fans of Catherine Coulter, Merline Lovelace, and Heather Graham will go for this book, too.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Adventuresome Romance, October 23, 2004

This review is from: Escape to Love (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

Angela Baring witnesses a mob hit on her boss and goes into hiding. She spends several weeks hiding out with Agent Trent Stewart until she can enter the witness protection program. Love blossoms between them, but they deny the attraction. Angela is given a new identity and a new life.

The hardest thing Trent ever did was let Angela walk out of his life. He lived every day with his decision not to share his feelings with her. She was out of his life, but never out of his heart.

Two years later, Jane/Angela saves a life and the story and her picture makes headlines on national television. Trent and a hit man both race against time to find Angela.

Trent will not only put his job on the line, but his heart to keep the woman he loves safe. Angela is thrilled to have Trent back in her life. She is determined to make this time be forever.

I enjoyed the whole premise of the story, but I the relationship between Angela and Trent seemed a little forced at the beginning. The chemistry between the characters wasn't really there. I would recommend Escape to Love to those who like a touch of adventure added to their romance.

I enjoyed this book. There was added adventure and suspense that didn't overpower the romance.
