Can a Kidnap Victim Learn to Love her Kidnapper?, April 3, 2002
Aislinn Andrews returns home to her condo in Arizona one evening to find escaped convict, half-Navajo Indian Lucas Greywolf raiding her refrigerator. He had intended to be gone before she returned home, but now he had no choice other than to take her hostage. She is frightened by the hint of brutality and at the same time drawn to his raw sexuality. He resents everything about her, since she represents to him the white oppressors of his people. They flee across the state, avoiding police roadblocks, to their final destination, which is to be at the deathbed of his revered grandfather. When she sees him in his world among his people, Aislinn realizes that Lucas is not the cruel, unemotional criminal that he has portrayed. Lucas is recaptured and finishes out his sentence. Since Aislinn chose not to report that he had kidnapped and held her hostage, his sentence was not extended. When he is released from prison less than a year later, his first stop is to visit Aislinn and thank her for not turning him in. The relationship that began through their chance meeting a year earlier is not over, not surprisingly, since the book is only half over. Thus begins the next phase of their relationship, which is full of misunderstandings and surprises. They have so much to learn about each other and each has to set aside many stereotypes and biases to discover the person beneath the skin color. Although the prospect of a woman falling in love with a man who kidnapped her and threatened her is highly improbable, I enjoyed this romance novel since it culminated in a happy ending for two people who were meant to be together.

If You Have to Be Kidnaped..., December 31, 2001
...it might as well be by brooding, gorgeous Lucas Greywolf, a Navajo-rights agitator who has escaped from prison. Intent on a mission only he knows, Lucas kidnaps Aislin, the blonde, blue-eyed daughter of a prominent Arizona couple--and flees across Arizona with hostage in tow. Danger, intrigue, and raw sexuality mark the desperate flight. What will happen to Aislin? She represents everything Anglo, whom Lucas loathes as oppressors of his people. He sees her as a symbol, not a woman. She, in turn, can't help being both awed and terrified by this dark and intense stranger whose motives she cannot guess. Both Lucas and Aislin have to let go of their stereotypes as they enter the Navajo reservation where Lucas has been bound all along. And both have to fight hard to deny the growing attraction between them. As this fast-moving and sexy story moves toward its inevitable conclusion, there are plenty of surprises on the way--for Lucas, his family--and Aislin. As improbable as the plot may be, this is nevertheless one of Sandra Brown's best. Lucas Greywolf is one of her most finely drawn male heroes, and Aislin is more than his match. A perfect read for a cold winter's day!

Well... I liked it and couldn't tell it was a re-issue!, April 13, 2005
For some reason I had been putting off reading it - and I really was hesitant when I saw the original printing date was several years ago. But my mind was changed soon after starting the book. It has a good story line and plenty of romance, too. The end could have been different but... don't get me wrong- it is still a sweet one. What's the story line? Lucas breaks out of prison to go home after receiving word that his much-loved grandfather is on his death bed. On his way back to the reservation he makes a much needed stop for food and rest in an apartment he happens to pick out. Come to find out it belongs to a pretty blue-eyed, blonde, English, young lady- Aislinn. Oh, no! An Anglo- just who Lucas thinks of as an enemy. Aislinn is on her own trying to separate herself from wealthy, domineering parents - with no plans of starting a relationship up with any man. There is a stirring in Lucas' heart and his ... (let's say sexual desire) and instead of taking her food, car and leaving her behind, Lucas takes Aislinn as a hostage. The story gets going then. He does make it to his grandfather before Joseph dies. Lucas takes out his sorrow on Aislinn in a very real way - and then he and she has to live with it's consequences. I'll let you read the story to find out what that is. I enjoyed it and would recommend your reading it. It's a good story...
