The first book by Katherine Stone that I read was Bel Aire. After that I was hooked. This book had so many exciting incidents, there was no way you could guess the ending. Alexa and Katherine were very strong characters. I enjoyed this book emensely. The action was wonderful. The love between the main characters and their respective love intrests is there from the begining and their journey to that realization is all the fun. I love the fact that the love scenes are not explict and very subtle.

Don't read the editorial review-it reveals too much of the story! I was a little surprised by the way in which KS shuffled around the love lives of the characters; I hadn't yet read many of her books. Now I know she does this often.
James Sterling, whom I liked the best, was a great guy, but I was never convinced that he was a best friend to the senator. The rare times they appeared together, they were never more than cordial to one another; they talked as strangers would.
Also, James should have been more responsible in his love life; it wasn't fair of him to let another man develop feelings for the one he loved, then want that man to walk away when he finally came to his senses.
The plots were great, however, a very interesting story, and once again KS sweeps us away to foreign lands.

This novel is a would-be great one, spoiled throughout by the author's total fixation on eyes and eye color! Literally, every few sentences, she refers to "her beautiful emerald eyes"; "his sapphire eyes"; "her sparkling emerald eyes"; and on, and on, and ON! I would have loved this book if not for this wording tearing away at my nerves. For each response, statement or emotion, she refers to the color of the character's eyes! I found myself rolling my own brown eyes so much I had to put it down. Otherwise, this would be have been a great read.

I love this book and my original was in paperback form which had fallen apart on me (that's how many times I've read it). this is in very good condition.
