I have read almost all of Iris Johansen's romances from the now defunct Loveswept Line. And I loved them all; the emotion, the drama, its a fun time to sit down and read one of her novels. This was not her best of the line, but it was quite nice. The attraction between the hero and heroine was a little weird, because she kept having back-flashes to when she was eight and he was twenty. But back in the eighties a good ten to twelve year difference in the hero/heroine's ages was the norm. I liked the fact that the hero wanted to make certain that the heroine could stand on her own, before he tried to "woo" her as it were. I thought the heroine was a little obsessed with the hero, but after all it was a romance. All, in all, a nice read. I bought it second-hand for $4.00 and I would definitely buy it again, I wouldn't pay much more for the book.

Iris Johansen is a name I'm usually confident about when buying books, but this was a really strange one. The only word that comes to mind is "disturbing."
If the heroine hadn't been in love with the hero, the story had the potential to become one of those stalker/victim novels. And was the heroine really in love with the hero? She doesn't seem to have had much of a social life. Definitely not a book I'd recommend to first-time Johansen readers.

Anything by Iris Johansen is wonderful but would have like to see orginal publish date before ordering as I had already read it.

I can't think of any redeeming qualities about this story. What a dark strange romance.

I'm so glad I get all my books at our wonderful library then I don't feel cheated when I draw a mediocre book

I usually like her books, but found this one to be totally sappy, no one talks like that in my world

I once tried to get every book by Iris Johansen, but I missed this one when it first came out.
A lovely read and return to simpler times.
