Now she must find a man with whom to pass the fateful night, a man who will ask no questions, make no other demands. Because for a woman preparing to risk everything, no ordinary man will do…

"I really do love Laura Landon's books. They draw you in from the beginning and this one was no different. If I had one complaint about Landon's books it would be the supporting characters. We really don't get to know them and they have very little conversational episodes. Is it just me?" — Elaine (4 out of 5 stars)

" Predictable. Interesting time period....but the plot was not intriguing. Simply expected. "
" I'm beginning to like this author a lot. Another interesting and engaging little romance with very strong and likeable characters. Great way to pass the time. I read it in just over a day! "
" Better written/story than the other two I read previously. "
" This was an ok read. "
" A nice evening's escape, not bad at all. "
" It was good but predictable at the same time. I enjoyed the read but thought some of it was repetitive. "
" very close to 5 stars "
" I liked how this romance started out a little different then other ones I've read. It's kind of crazy thinking that that is the only option to get out of a horrible marriage. Good thing her best friend sets her up so well. "
" Favorite. I love the audio book and highly recommend. The story was great in the begging, I do like a pregnant heroine, it dragged a little toward the end but overall great listen. The narration was excellent. "
" The book was a lot more entertaining than I expected, particularly the first half pleasantly surprised me. I didn't really care for the second half, though, the only positive part about it was the villain plot arch. "
