Whom ever is wondering if this is a good book... take it from me...it had me on the edge of my seat through every page! It was extremely passionate and mysterious! It is an awesome book and I would love to see a movie made from it! GREAT BOOK!

Adria nash believes she's the heiress London Danvers, a child kidnapped 20 years ago from her family's hotel. She's back and wants to be reunited with the family she missed. The family wants to believe she's a fraud after all several want to be Londons have approached them for the family's millionaires. So ok Adria looks so much like London's mother did before she died maybe she is for real but the family wants to keep the money to themselves. Fighting his attraction for Adria is Zach, who might be her half brother or is he. Throw in whodunit, a family enemy, and greed and you have the ingrediants for a good story

Adria Hart has arrived in Portland at the Danvers Hotel in search of the family from which she might have been kidnapped two decades earlier. The Danvers heirs, all grown children of deceased patriarch Witt Danvers are used to long lost sisters surfacing. Witt has an unusual will - half his estate goes to lost daughter London Danvers - the rest divided among his other heirs, and they will do anything to keep Adria from collecting.

While the family is convinced she's a fake, ne'er do well middle son Zach is intrigued by her. She is the spitting image of his stepmother, the woman who took his virginity. On the one hand he thinks she might be his half sister, and on the other hand, he is extremely attracted to her.

Someone does not want Adria to rediscover her family and inheritance - they have gone to great lengths to scare her off, resulting in Zach bringing her out to live with him at his ranch. Several stolen kisses lead to passion in each other's arms, but they realize that until they know whether they are blood-related, they cannot continue the relationship. It is gross since they very possibly could be brother and sister and know each other biblically, and the outcome is a little too pat and convenient as if to justify the two losing their self control.

The story can be convoluted and pretty slow at times, shifting from 1973, 1980, and 1993 to tell the drawn out story. Jackson recently reissued the novel by beefing it up and cleaning up some dangling plot lines, making even longer (which is not necessarily better).

I hate it when people call a romance novel a trashy book, but this book sincerely deserve this title.

We have a "love" story here about a guy who loses his virginity when he was 16 with his step-mother, who apparently was the heroines mother. If this wasn't sickening enough, he was completely obsessed with this woman. Lets make this more gross by adding a very detailed love scene between these two, and pages after pages of him mooning after her...

Years later, when the hero and the heroine finally meet, the hero's still very much lusting after the mother, getting aroused just thinking of her, and first impression is of how much the heroine looks like her mother (how romantic). They're practically twins. And of course, because she's so similar in appearance, theres a constant reminder and comparison. Would you as a reader want to see stuff like this in a romance novel?

Lets make this book trashier by having the h/h getting involved, not even knowing for sure if they're in fact related. This book is trash. What was the author thinking... I did not find this story engaging at all, God, ew, ew....

When young London is kidnapped from her messed-up family, everything goes haywire, yet she was never found and was persumed dead. Now, years later, Adria Nash,"London", is back, and wants be apart of the family. But she wasn't expecting the sexual tension between her, and her half-brother Zack. A sense of harsh reality, sexual tension, adventurous action, and mysterious happenings, and murder. All a taste of what is the real world folks! Wake up and smell this sexy, compelling, and mysterious, harsh book ready to be read. This book kept me reading until i had it finished. Trust me, if you love a sence of practicality, harsh murder and lust for money and beautiful women, and the ideals of the world, not just romantic fantasy, this is a book you'll never be able to put down!

I was loooking forward to this book after reading one other by this auther. I was disappointed that the author had to two main characters involved in a serious relationship before they discovered whether they were related. That seemed really outside the boundries of acceptable behavior. I do like how the author writes, and I will read other books, but this one is not a keeper.
