2.0 out of 5 stars Sandra Brown has come a long way since this one !!!!!, March 21, 1999

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Authors I have come across in a long time., September 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Send No Flowers (Bed & Breakfast) (Hardcover)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars A reprint that shouldn't have been reprinted, December 3, 2000

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?
