Only You [Mass Market Paperback]

Elizabeth Lowell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 1992

Made desperate by poverty and loss, Evelyn Starr Johnson sees a golden opportunity to win back her lost status by recovering the treasure map stolen from her murdered foster parents. And with nothing left to wager but her innocence, the beautiful card shark stares coolly at their killers across the poker table - then stacks the deck and deals the winning hand to a handsome, unsuspecting stranger.

When the exquisite temptress he won at a card game runs off with rest of his winnings, sharpshooter Matt ′Reno′ Moran vows to hunt her down-never dreaming it is his destiny to join forces with the thieving female on a dangerous search for hidden gold. But, come hell or high water, Reno is determined to reclaim everything that is rightfully his - including the tempestuous woman who calls herself ′Evening Star′, who Reno dares not love, but desires with all his soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have become a Lowell fan!, December 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Only You (Mass Market Paperback)

I began with the first book in the series, only his and then had to get the other three books from the library. I was confused as to the order of the books because it said nothing about which book came first, second, third and forth. This is the third in the series and I finished all three of the last books in four days! The characters are wonderful and I get so caught up in the story that I loose track of the day. Many times I felt like thumping Reno in the head. Eve was wonderful because she was so strong in such a hard time for her. I love the way the characters were reunited in each one of the books. I felt like part of the family coming home to them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Appealing characters; exciting plot; steamheated romance!, February 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Only You (Mass Market Paperback)

This was the first book I ever read by Elizabeth Lowell, even though it is not the first in her series of novels about the Moran family. Wow, was I hooked! The characters steal your heart, the plot is exciting and even believeable, and Reno and Eve generate a steamheated romance that is incredibly passionate and tender. Eve's sacrifice and Reno's revelation--and subsequent sincere remorse and expression of love--at the story's climax tug at the heartstrings and make a highly satisfying conclusion. This series is populated by characters who truly come alive, and about whom we come to care very much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Formula, April 28, 2008

Rebecca (Shreveport, Lao People's Democratic Republic) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Only You (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read the whole "only" series. They follow a formula. Tough, abusive male, innocent abused heroine. He always thinks the worst of her, mistreats her, has sex with her. She falls in love and lets him. They misunderstand something the other one did. They separate. He comes after her. They reunite and live happily ever after having kids.

Having said all that. I must have like something about them because I did read them all. After the males understand they are caught, they start behaving themselves. Nobody said this was like real life. Perhaps that is what I like - the escape from reality.

This series is recommended for just that - escape and happy endings.
