5.0 out of 5 stars
A gorgeous little novel, October 30, 2009
This review is from: Sullivan's Miracle (Paperback)
Breaking beyond the mold of the 'typical' Silhouette novel, Longford delivers a wonderful romance free of candy coating or eye-rolling oh pleases! This is the kind of book that shatters genres. With characters you can almost touch and settings as vivid as any painting, _Sullivan's Miracle_ is truly a surprise, full of emotion that's devastating and complex, something I most definitely wasn't expecting when I first opened it way back in the 90s. It's long been out of print, but I would love to stumble across it again someday. It's a haunting read that captures grief better than any other romance I ever read and almost certainly worth five full stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars
#1 of AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE ROMANCE, December 18, 2007
Sullivan Barnett is a forty one year old hotshot reporter and he doesn't like cops.
He desparately loved Elizabeth with the gray eyes and blond hair. He wanted to protect her, to live with her, but she was ill and refused to depend on Sullivan. She is another emotionally traumaed woman.
Ah! she died - yet does her spirit really leave?
Eight months later, Sullivan does not care about anything. He hates that Lizzie left him. Yet someone is out to kill him. He has received threatening letters, yet told no one but his boss.
Enter Officer Maggie Webster, who is still recovering from a gun shot wound and a near death experience, which has left her disoriented and now she has developed an aversion to guns.
She is bound and determined to make good on solving the case of who is tring to do away with Sullivan. Sullivan must be coming too close to some information someone does not want him to have.
Yup! there is murder in the bayou and a deadly attraction developing between Sully and Maggie. Maggie who has just dumped Royal Bains, her detective partner and close friend [lover?] It just doesn't feel right between them any more.
Work, right now, is all that is holding Maggie together. Yet there are certain flashes that Sullivan gets that is very confusing.
Sullivan takes Maggie to Lizzie's house for children and they meet Tommy Lee [next story] and little Katie, and "Aleesha" <g> - Maggie tumbles to the fact that Sullivan's car was bombed within the same block as the children. Katie saved Sullys life.
Things continue to get sticky as Sullivan looks for the information that his informant was to deliver to him in the bayou.
You have to hang in there for the surprising ending and most of the ends get tied up.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --M #2 is Renegades Redemption the story of Royal Bains and Tommy Lee.
