3.0 out of 5 stars
Enjoyable suspenseful romance, September 12, 2005
This review is from: Hearts Of Fire (Mass Market Paperback)
Billionaire playwright Nathan Whitmore and his second and much younger wife, Gemma are having marital problems. He freaked when she had a dangerous delivery of the second son, and got a vasectomy without telling her. She was devastated... she wanted to have a larger family, and has withheld her love from him for years. As a last ditch effort to revive their relationship, he takes her on a romantic cruise.
When the man who kidnapped his daughter Kirsty years ago is suddenly released from prison, Nathan decides that he needs to take steps to protect her since he will be away. He hires Ryan Harris, the man who rescued Kirsty, and the one she fell in love with. She is the star of daddy's new play, with an understudy who has a grudge.
Married at the time, and a little bit older than Kirsty, Ryan never acted on his feelings for Kirsty. Now divorced, with a psycho ex-wife that still stalks him; he vows to never get too involved with a woman.
He takes the assignment, all the while knowing that if Kirsty ever finds out, he will never be forgiven for his deception. When they run into each other after her play, they go out, and soon he is seen squiring her around town. Then strange things start happening, threatening notes, calla lilies being delivered to her dressing room, and she is tripped on her way to the theater, potentially taking her out of the play. She suspects that it is her understudy, but could it be the kidnapper back for revenge?
For a Harlequin romance, it is pretty good, and has a good deal of suspense.
