It was the publicity stunt from hell as far as Kirsten Rumm was concerned. She may have been writing the book about her late husband, aeronautical daredevil Demon Rumm, but she didn’t see the need to play host to the arrogant bad-boy actor starring in the film version’s title role. Still, for the good of the project, Kirsten agreed to share her beachfront home with the impossibly sexy screen idol. Any other woman would do anything to be in her sandals, but Kirsten wasn’t falling for Rylan North, even if he did play his role of male lead to perfection. His down-home charm, his gentleness and virile charisma, might be seducing her in every sense of the word, but he was an actor, after all. Seducing an audience was his job. Rylan could have any woman he wanted. So why was he so desperately pretending to want her? From the moment he saw her, Rylan North knew that Kirsten Rumm was the woman he’d been waiting all his life to cast as the star in his real-life love story. What did it matter if he was every woman’s fantasy if he couldn’t get Kirsten to so much as glance his way? He’d caught the look of past hurt behind her sky-blue eyes–a dark secret that shadowed the sparkle. Rylan was determined to find out what tragedy held this passionate woman back from a second chance at love even if it cost him his reputation, his career, and his life. But first he’d have to get Kirsten to act on her instincts . . . and to trust the flesh-and-blood man behind the fantasy.

"I liked it. The pace was really nice and Rylan was a great hero. And quite believable too. I didn't even dislike the dead husband. All in all I liked how the whole story was put together."
— Golder-Mier (4 out of 5 stars)
" I loved the idea of the story, but there was a little too much of Rylan trying to figure out ways to have sex with Kirsten for my taste. However I knew what sort of book I was reading, so it was not a shock. I did enjoy the secrets and different layers Brown revealed with each stage of the story. It kept the story interesting and pushed me to keep reading to find out how Kirsten's and Rylan's journey would end. "
— Rose, 2/11/2014" 2.5* Early, and understandably dated, series romance by Brown. It was fine, but the angst was far more than the situation called for. "
— Carrie, 2/4/2014" so far so god tapi pas akhir kayaknya dipaksa gitu hmpfh... "
— annisa, 1/25/2014" This most interesting thing about this book was the fact that it was a romance written almost entirely from the perspective of the male. "
— Tori, 1/17/2014" So so ... tapi mendinglah daripada Sunny Chandler's Return. "
— Diah, 1/17/2014" A fun read with a little twist at the end "
— Allison, 1/17/2014" Not Interesting at all! It makes me feel bored "
— Aizawa, 12/3/2013" Book was okay, but the main female was way too much of the "wounded flower" type for my liking. "
— Jess, 10/6/2013" Heroine has written a book about her late husband, aeronautical daredevil Demon Rumm. Hero is an arrogant and of course, impossibly sexy screen idol. Due to the fact the actor is starring in the film version,they have to share her beachfront home for 3 days. "
— Laura, 3/24/2013" Well written. Couldn't believe it was from 1987! "
— Pauline, 2/22/2013" An absolute train wreck. Fans of current day Sandra Brown will be repulsed. This 1987 romance should have been buried, rather than released. "
— Jen, 1/9/2013" This was an early sandra brown book. It was a quick read but took a little for rhe story to move. "
— Kevin, 12/9/2012" I enjoyed listening to this book. I have read most of Brown's books and did enjoy this one but find her later books to be much more intriguing. I did, however, think I had the ending figured out but was mistaken. This book made for a pleasurable diversion from real life. "
— Shiela, 10/7/2012" too shallow......hokey "
— Joy, 7/18/2012" Bought this as an audio book and haven't finished it but it's good thus far... "
— Kristin, 5/30/2012" Audio Book. This is the kind of book Lea likes and it is pure porno. I have never read anything like this. The whole plot was how are they going to have sex. And the lines and description and inuendos were just laughable. "
— Jake, 12/23/2011" Good if you like love stories... about a "movie star". "
— Grandma, 6/25/2011" Audio Book. This is the kind of book Lea likes and it is pure porno. I have never read anything like this. The whole plot was how are they going to have sex. And the lines and description and inuendos were just laughable. "

— Shiela, 10/17/2010" about a widow who was writing a book and an actor who was playing her husband in the movie about Demon Rumm's life. The story was of course about the two wanting/not wanting to hook up and about the mystery that the widow was hiding about her late hubby. "
— Becky, 9/20/2010" It was all right, a nice fast listen while driving in my car. Nothing spectacular. "
— Laura, 9/4/2010" WAS AN OK BOOK DID NOT START OUT TOO GOOD. "
— Tina, 8/4/2010" Not Interesting at all! It makes me feel bored "
— Aizawa, 6/28/2010" Well I wanted something easy and brainless, but this was almost too brainless. A really sappy romance novel, with none of Sandra's normal suspense and plot twists. Skip this one. "
— Amy, 6/6/2010" A romance, what was i thinking "
