Rating 3.5 stars
A very quick read. I read it because I remember reading a book in a series that is loosely connected with this. The hero is a rich cynical man who was once sent to jail because of false accusations and that has made him hard. He is used to getting his own way and he does when the heroine, a theatre actress suffering burn-out comes to stay at his hotel. The heroine is 37 and divorced and I dunno why despite the hero's heavy-handedness gets into an affair with him.

She leaves, they pine for each other, he follows, some time later HEA. Nothing remarkable about the book really, kind of old school.

I read this when it first came out and it left an impression, so I felt the need to re-read. If I was reading it for the first time today, I'd give it 4 stars, but it gets 5 stars for holding its own after so many years.
