4.0 out of 5 stars SANDRA BROWN IN A CLASS OF HER OWN, June 4, 2000

By 

Desmond Chan (Bishan North Singapore) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In a Class by Itself (Hardcover)

Sandra Brown is one of the most accomplished writers in romance and IN A CLASS BY ITSELF follows her usual tradition in weaving magical romances with her trademark sensuality and poignancy.

Logan and Dani are a pair of high school lovers, embittered because of their separation. Parental objection posed a stumbling block for them in the past and now with Dani, gaining her independence after learning from an ill-fated marriage, she is ready to steer the charity organisation, Friends In Need with pools of donation.

Logan strikes a deal with her to lend his own property out for a summer camp on the terms that she would accompany him for a week. Dani finds herself trapped between passion and cold reality as her feelings for Logan had never once been extinguished.

Sandra Brown is a gifted writer who, with her rich descriptions takes reader on an emotional roller coaster. The chemistry between Logan and Dani is one fuelled by hot sensuality, riveted passion and unrequited love. Her stunning romance novels are nevertheless typical, but it is also through the simplicity that you find her books true-to-earth.It is at once heart-rendering in a class of its own with the stumbling blocks of life Dani and Logan had to go through.

Exquisite and compelling, this book is in a class by itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Put it Down, December 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In a Class by Itself (Hardcover)

This is one of Sandra Brown's finest. I sat down in one afternoon and read it in 4 hours. The book starts off with clincher and keeps you hanging. She never gives anything away though you do suspect. It was realistically written that kept you wanting more. I have already recommended it to many of my friends.

When I picked up the book and started reading it, I just couldn't put it down. The story between two high school sweethearts truly hit it me in the heart. Sandra Brown really knows how to touch a person.
