I have read all of Sandra Brown's latest books since probably 1997, and this one is obviously one of her earlier novels, as she has come so far in her writing ability since this. However, her ability to write the eroticism surprised me, as none of her later novels contain this consistent display of sexual eroticism. These parts of the book were written with skill and were sensitive to the subject matter at hand. The rest of the book, however, was pure "fluff", and that's not what the Sandra Brown of today is made of. She has come a long way since this book, and I would not recommend it for a current reader of Brown novels. They would truly be disappointed.

This was the second of many Sandra brown books that I have read, and the first one I didn't realize who it was when I looked at the second book until after I read it and went to the nearest book store to buy more, both were very good and by far the best books i have ever read. If you have never read her books, please do, not only will it put you completely in the story but It will be in your thoughts way after you finish the book.

This is not one of Sandra Brown's best books. It was written in 1984 and probably when she first started writing. That's my guess anyway after reading the book. I suppose after so many years the authors/publishers think they can bring these older books out of the closet and reprint them, and then because of the author's name the younger readers will grab them up. It must work, I see a lot of it. But Brown would have been better off to left this one on the shelf. Because I finish a book when I start it, I read it all. I purchased it because of her name, but I think I've learned my lesson on reprints. Need I say more?

I absolutely loved this book, I was in the bookstore with my sister and she picked up this book, I read the first line of it and knew I had to get it too, it was really fun to read and I have recommended it to almost everyone i know, and everyone has said that they loved it too! I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good romance novel.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I usually do not like to read but when i picked up this book I couldn't put it down, literally. I finished it in one sitting.

Very trashy and predictable.. the only redeeming feature is the kids, David and Adam.. loved them!!

when a storm forces alicia a mother and sons adam and david to stay with a stranger named pierce. it was love at first site...when pierce first laid his eyes on alicia he new he had to have her..........their relationship goes from friends to lovers. I may be only 13 but i borrowed this book from a friend and could not put the book down......I loved this book!

If a book must be reprinted; it should at least be a good book. This book was out-dated and trite at the very least. Shame on the publishers and Ms. Brown for allowing this drivel to be reprinted. This is a Loveswept Romance - paperback quality, not hardback quality; and not at all in the present style of the author. Give us the Sandra Brown we know and love !!

The story itself is a simply-written and sensual story. What absolutely ruins it is the horrible, awful job Alison Frasier does reading it. Her attempt at "voices" is like fingernails on a chalkboard. She makes Pierce, the main male character, sound like Larry the Lounge Lizard. She makes the children sound like cartoon characters and Alicia, the main female character sounds like a cross between Morgan Fairchild and Anna Nicole Smith. I seriously had to struggle to listen to the whole story, not because of the story itself, but because the voices were just so caustic. I know this review seems harsh, but beleive me, it's justified. I recommend you READ this book, and not LISTEN to it...you'll thank me!

Sorry Sandra, but I couldn't even finish reading this book. I just read Breath of Scandal and The Alibi back to back and couldn't put those books down. Got up early in the morning to read them and stayed up late trying to finish them. So, I was really excited when I saw another Sandra Brown book on my bookcase that I hadn't read yet. I liked the first paragraph. After that, it went downhill fast. It seemed like she pumped this book out way too fast. It was too simple. The dialogue, the characters, everything was a flop. I had myself believing that I could have done a better job writing this than her. To go from reading one like the Alibi to Send No Flowers, I just couldn't believe they were written by the same person. Sorry, I couldn't even finish it. I do enjoy most of her work though and will read many more of her books.
