Book Description

December 26, 2006
Bestselling author Andrea Kane delivers an electrifying novel of suspense and seduction as one woman is swept up in a maelstrom of dangerous secrets, ruthless ambition, and unexpected passion.

When Dylan Newport, a high-powered attorney for the company that manufactures C'est Moi -- the revolutionary fragrance that makes women irresistible to men -- finds his boss, Carson Brooks, shot and nearly dead, he sets out to fulfill what may be the billionaire CEO's last wish: to find out whether a business deal he made twenty-eight years ago to start his company also resulted in his fathering a child.

Dylan's search leads him to Sabrina Radcliffe, a brilliant management consultant who is shocked to learn her father's identity. Yet when she meets Carson face-to-face, there's an instant connection. His appointing her interim CEO is the opportunity of a lifetime, until she becomes the target of his enemies. As suspects -- and victims -- begin to pile up, Sabrina turns to Dylan and finds that their own perfect chemistry is kindling into soul-deep desire. But first they must confront an elusive adversary intent on destroying everything -- and everyone -- they cherish.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Handsome, charismatic and successful beyond his wildest dreams, street kid-turned-perfume magnate Carson Brooks has it all-except the knowledge of whether an anonymous sperm donation he made almost 30 years earlier resulted in a child. When a gunshot from an unknown assailant permanently damages his kidneys, the question of paternity becomes critical. Incredibly, Carson's attorney and prot‚g‚ Dylan Newport manages to track down Carson's daughter, management consultant Sabrina Radcliffe, in less than a day. In just as little time, Dylan persuades her to leave her budding business, meet her father, step in as president of Carson's company and part with one of her kidneys. As Sabrina's bond with Carson deepens, so do her feelings for Dylan, but their blossoming relationship is threatened by someone intent on eliminating them. Many of the plot elements are both improbable and familiar from other romances, but Kane's (No Way Out; The Gold Coin) diverse cast of characters and careful balancing of romance and mystery will keep readers from dwelling on the unlikelier twists. While it won't win any awards for novelty, this well-rounded effort is certain to satisfy Kane's fans.

From Booklist

Perfume mogul Carson Brooks has been shot and critically wounded in his New York office, where he is found by his protege, Dylan Newport. Dylan now has to find the daughter born as a result of a sperm donation Carson made for 20 grand 28 years ago so he could afford to start his company. Dylan heads to New Hampshire to meet with Sabrina Radcliffe, who heads her own management-consulting firm and is flabbergasted with the news of her paternity. Together they fly to New York to meet Carson and develop an immediate rapport. Sabrina takes control of the fragrance empire, including the secret formula for the new and highly successful perfume, and thus becomes the target of whoever tried to kill her father. Dylan and Sabrina work to save the company and figure out the identity of the would-be killer and discover along the way that perfume isn't the only chemistry at work in their chaotic lives. A fun romantic suspense novel filled with dynamic characters. Patty Engelmann

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring and flat., March 24, 2003
By 
Romance Lover "vt2949" (Sacramento, California USA) - See all my reviews
This book was so boring I couldn't get through it. The plot moved far too slowly, and we were given lots of detailed prose about aspects of the story that weren't very interesting. Normally romantic thrillers are lacking in either the romance department or the thriller department. This book was lacking in both. The main characters were two-dimensional. Instead of letting us get inside the characters and learn who they really were, we were just given the cut-and-dried facts about their pasts. The author apparently expected us to assume things about the characters from their backgrounds. As a result, I didn't care about either of the main characters, or about what was going to happen to them. Sabrina and Dylan had absolutely no chemistry!! If you hadn't known this was a romance, you wouldn't have known that they were supposed to be attracted to each other. So even though their first kiss came very late in the book, it still seemed premature, because up to that point neither character had had a single romantic thought about the other. As far as the "thriller," it was boring. I couldn't have cared less who shot Carson Brooks. Again, without any insight into his character, I had no feelings about him one way or the other. Also, the author used this irritating technique of giving information about the characters through lengthy stretches of dialogue. The dialogue ended up seeming contrived and unrealistic as a result. Sorry that I spent ${munnies}on this poorly written book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Read, February 12, 2003
By 
"naddine" (spring, texas USA) - See all my reviews
This is the kind of book you think you have all the characters figured out (who done it) and then you find later on they are eliminated. The story between the main characters, Sabrina and Dylan, ... keeps your interest throughout the book. The overall story line of a child from a sperm bank finding out who her father is and without any hesitation accepts this father, is alittle hard to accept. However, the overall suspense is worth the read. This is a great book to think you have all the answers, who did what to whom, and then you are pleasantly surprised. The only thing I would change would be to go into more detail about why the villian does what they did, i.e. attempted murder, murder, arson, etc. I can't wait for the next Andrea Kane mystery.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lacks suspense..., February 1, 2007
By 
Businessman and perfume mogul Carson Brooks is lying near death and asks his protege, Dylan Newport to find the child he fathered as a result of a sperm donation decades earlier. Carson has been shot and the only thing that will save his life is a kidney transplant, and what better match than a biological child.

Dylan finds management consultant Sabrina Radcliffe, who reluctantly agrees to meet Carson but they immediately bond. When she takes over the reins to run the company in Carson's absence, she and Dylan discover that she is in danger of becoming the next victim of a killer who will do anything to get their hands on a secret perfume formula.

The story has a great premise - Kane keeps the romance light and the suspense lighter (unfortunately). The culprit is easy to guess, and the romance between the main characters is a bit abrupt. But overall, Kane's writing keeps this one interesting.
