Sometimes, you just shouldn't look back. I was clearing out the bookshelves and found this from my high school years. In high school, the beginning of the book resonated with me but I just never finished it. I figured before I donated the book I'd read it. To those who love romance, whimpering females who are supposedly feminists, domineering males, and insipid dialogue, then this is perfect! Romance, mystery, sex, and all the trimmings.
Selline klassikaline lugu. Veidi särtsu lisasid parajalt hullud kõrvaltegelased, keda oli raamatus rohkem kui üks. Just nemad tegid lugemise lõbusaks. Eks muidu oli ka keskmisest parem ajaviiteromaan.
This was my first introduction to Stella Cameron..after I read this one I grabbed every book she wrote for the next 5 or 6 years. Loved the characters, loved the mystery and the love story. She is one of the first writers that I thought blended romance and mystery really well (Sandra Brown being another.) I wanted a Sebastian for my very own after I read this book! I'm confused about this being lumped in a "Navy Seals" trilogy, cause I don't remember that aspect of the story..but whatever.
This is a reunion story between 2 high school sweethearts. There were plenty of hot steamy love scenes, which SC is known for and melodrama plot lines that will have you wondering if you're watching a mid day soap opera.
