Deborah Smith (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 3, 1989

Confusion, fury, and disbelief filled Rucker McClure's soul when he saw his wife across the airport waiting room.  A year ago, Dinah had vanished without a trace, but he'd never stopped looking for her, never given up hope - until now, when it seemed all his worst fears were true: she'd betrayed her country and abandoned the husband she'd sworn to love until death.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book always makes me cry, June 19, 2008

This review is from: Never Let Go (Paperback)

I always eagerly await each new book by Deborah Smith. I began reading her novels with Loveswept and have sought out every book she has written since then.

This was the first novel I read of hers and I go back to it every couple years and read it again. I read it before I knew it was a sequal (or that it was part of a larger set of connected books).

The story is classic loveswept. A fair amount of suspense and little bit of surprise and a lot of heart-tugging romance.

Smith writes characters with a surpising amount of depth for a short serial romance novel.

It makes me cry every time I read it.

It is well worth reading.

However, I do recommend you first read Hold On Tight.

Enjoy!

This review is from: Never Let Go (Paperback)

Back before Deborah Smith was a best-selling author, she wrote for series romance. For Loveswept (1989-1991) she wrote under her own name for the first time and nearly all of her novels were linked together with the running ties of the Surprise brothers and their mysterious boss T.S. Audubon. This is the 3rd book in this series and it is the key to all her books published by Loveswept.

The courtship story of Dinah and Rucker McClure is told in "Hold on Tight" which also introduces Millie Surprise as Rucker's secretary. Millie's story is told in "Caught By Surprise" which ends with the disappearance of Dinah McClure in a cliff-hanger epilogue. The story of Dinah's disappearance is told here in "Never Let Go." This book also introduces characters that will star in the rest of Deborah Smith's novels in the Loveswept line. Read "Hold On Tight" first as many plot points in their courtship together are reviewed in "Never Let Go."

It is not often that you read novels about an on-going married relationship, and this novel (despite its theatrical plot) does it well. The love, physical relationship, and trust built over years together forms the basis of how this couple will go forward when a crisis hits.

The $2.99 Kindle edition is a bargain for such good writing (although it was obviously OCR'd with numerous typos that were never edited out).
