Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2002

New York Times Bestselling Author.

Was he trying to control her . . . or protect her?

Life has taught Aby Lyndon the value of independence -- and the price she's paid to learn that lesson was high. A relationship gone terribly, unexpectedly wrong has left her wary and determined to control her own life. But Torr Latimer is equally determined to make Abby his own.

Torr's unwavering persistence leaves Abby nervous, confused . . . and undeniably drawn to the force of his passion. But when a nightmare from her past resurfaces, Abby has little choice but to accept Torr's help. Hidden at his remote cabin in the woods, Abby must decide if he's offering her shelter or trying to possess her. Or is Torr promising something else altogether: love?

3.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER REPRINT!!!!!!!!!, October 21, 2002

This is a decent read, nothing special. Abby London is hiding a secret, a past with a stalker/jealous boyfriend and an almost affair with her cousin's husband when cousin was pregnant. Now someone is trying to blackmail her because of it.

Torr Latimer, is a man she meets in a flower arranging class. After 1 date is declaring he owns her etc....so dated. These are not bad reads. And I often like to catch the ones I missed, but I really resent very dated books being fostered off on us with high prices.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not One of Her Best, November 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Uneasy Alliance (Mass Market Paperback)

Reprint, so check for it in your library--you won't want to spend for this one. Very tired plot involving male domination as the way to a woman's heart. It definitely shows it's '80's roots. Plot is somewhat contrived and it's obvious who the bad guy is early on. Very disappointing

2.0 out of 5 stars Bleh, November 27, 2002

This review is from: Uneasy Alliance (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm usually a big JAK fan, but this one was nothing to write home about. I couldn't help wondering why the heroine would want to end up with such an overbearing jerk. :) When the hero isn't someone you'd want to get to know, the book isn't enjoyable.
