From Booklist

After uncovering an international ring of assassins and providing the testimony to convict the leading assassin, FBI agent Robyn Richards joined the Witness Protection Program to protect her husband, Grant. The FBI staged an accident that left the world--and her husband--believing that Robyn was dead. Now, five years later, Robyn's daughter needs the rare blood type she shares with the father who doesn't know his wife and child are alive. A computer glitch forces Robyn to tell her doctors about Grant; Grant decides to deliver the blood in person and meets Brooke (Robyn in her new identity after plastic surgery). As Grant falls in love with Brooke and Robyn struggles with her love for Grant and her knowledge of the danger of telling him the truth, a new player enters the game: an unknown assassin stalking Robyn and her daughter for revenge. Well plotted and with exceptional characterizations, this title is an excellent introduction to Arabesque, a new line of ethnic romance novels. Author Hailstock never mentions the race of her characters, but her descriptions provide enough information without beating the reader over the head with the fact that this character is black or this character is white, etc. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rollercoaster Ride!!, March 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Whispers of Love (Arabesque) (Paperback)

This story took me by storm from chaper 1. There are not many people who find their soul-mates one beautiful night in Las Vegas. Most people are not fortunate to love someone and have them love you and trust you in return instantly from the first meeting. Your wonderful life together is cut short only to find that you have a choice to make. Let your mate live safe from harm, without you. Never knowing about your unborn child, not knowing that she is now in a hospital dying and needing your help....and somehow you are called to save her life. You are then faced with a mother, who looks different than your late wife, but somehow feels like her, your heart is torn but you can't figure out why.....

5.0 out of 5 stars This was just too Good, March 2, 2000

This review is from: Whispers of Love (Arabesque) (Paperback)

This was a story of intrigue and undercover. So much so, one of the characters was hidden in the protection program, to protect a mate. I've often wondered if one person would know a loved one even after plastic surgery and voice altering techniques. Well if you want to know, read this book. Robyn and Grant will pull all of your emotions and make you smile. A good, good read.

This review is from: Whispers of Love (Arabesque) (Paperback)

Talk about an unforgettable love! Those would be the words to discribe Robyn(Brooke), who gives up everything but her child to protect the person most important in her life, her husband. Only getting in contact with him when her child's life was in danger, she could not lose her too! But the love for Robyn never died for Grant. Grant loved his wife so much he wants her back with her new life and all!! Talk about true love. This book had me crying. Not many love stories get a reaction like that out of me, but this one did! Gread Read! Much Love Hailstock!
