Heaven's Price [Abridged, Audiobook] [Audio CD]

Sandra Brown (Author), Robin Mattson (Reader)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 28, 2006

In Heaven's Price Sandra Brown has written a deliciously sensual novel of a woman torn between her career and her heart.

Blair Simpson thought she had it all -- a satisfying career as a dancer, a great Manhattan apartment and no emotional entanglements. But when Blair injures her knees dancing she is forced to put her life on hold and move to Long Island to recuperate. Blair has never met anyone like her new landlord Sean, who questions her methods and her lifestyle at every turn. Yet Blair is determined to continue dancing, even if it means risking her health. What she can't see, until it's much too late, is that while she's healing her body, she's losing her heart... as Sean makes her question her most intimate beliefs--about men, about love, and mostly, about herself. Now, as professional duty and her passionate yearnings clash, she must choose the right course for them both. Sexy, touching, and deeply satisfying, here is one of Sandra Brown's classic romances available on CD for the first time ever.

From the Publisher

One of the most popular romance writers of all time, Sandra Brown has been prominently featured in USA Today and on NBC's Today show, giving her the kind of name recognition the likes of which has previously been reserved for Danielle Steel and Judith Krantz. Her books, like the million-plus copy A Whole New Light, fly off the shelves in bookstores of every size and style. Heaven's Price follows on the heels of national hardcover best-sellers Adam's Fall, Silken Web, Fanta C, Where There's Smoke, French Silk, and Texas! Sage.

This review is from: Heaven's Price (Mass Market Paperback)

Heaven's Price is really a sweet romance. Sure, its almost the same as Adam's Fall (also by Sandra Brown), except for the character conditions and the gender, but its still so good.

Sean Garrett is Blair Simpson's landlord, she's living in the place that belongs to Sean now, because she's recovering her knees. (Blair iz a dancer) Blair and Sean has this attraction and...

WEll I can't say the whole thing, but trust me, if you readers liked Adam's Fall, then you'll deffinitely like Heaven's Price. Sandra Brown is a great romance writer !!

4.0 out of 5 stars A cute, highly romantic story, October 16, 2005

Donna K. "bookcrosser" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heaven's Price (Mass Market Paperback)

WOW - this book opens with a massage scene that is incredibly sensual and tantilizing, and the hot and steamy tone continues throughout. Sean is a bit too agressive and Blair is a bit too selfish, yet when they come together, they are a powerhouse who teach each other valuable lessons about life, values and priorities. A short and fast read, this book packs a lot of punch.
