Publisher Description
Darkly handsome with an arrogant edge, architectural engineer Scout Ritland is the kind of American man who spells trouble. Chantal duPont should know, for she has experienced the best and worst of the country and its people—including one who broke her heart. Yet here she is, home on sultry Parrish Island, putting herself in the way of another bold Yankee. This time, however, it’s for a good cause: Scout is the one man who can help her village, and she’s not about to let him get the better of her—no matter how much she may want to. Fresh from completing his work on the island’s new luxury resort, Scout’s ready for a little recreation—though being kidnapped and shot isn’t on his agenda. But when he catches sight of an exotic beauty with electric blue eyes, events quickly spin out of control. Scout should be outraged to find himself held captive, but an abductor as alluring as Chantal makes it hard to stay angry. Soon Scout is swept up by Chantal’s need to help her people—and the role he is to play in her ambitious plan. With each passing day, the work and the woman present him with challenges he could never find at home. But as the project progresses, intrigue and adventure burn hotter than the island’s volcano—and two people who have met their match in each other face a future that could tear them apart....

" My mother always said, "If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all." "
— Alexis-Morgan, 2/17/2014 -
" It was a pretty good book for once the girl wasn't an airhead she was pretty smart and determined to get what she wanted...and she did. "
— Jeanine, 2/17/2014 -
" A quick read. It kind of fast-forwarded through any development of a relationship to get to the physical stuff though. A bit predictable as well. "
— Katherine, 2/13/2014 -
" Wish I didn't waste my precious time trying to read this book. Half baked descriptions, seems to be rushing to the love scenes, unbelievable, too many coincidences, daft/dumb heroine/hero, cliche. "
— Njenva, 2/10/2014 -
" I am only giving this book two stars because it was better than the stupid Steven King book I listened to. If I hadn't listened to that one, this would be a one star book. I experiment with books that are easy and light for my commute, but this one was just ridiculous. I was embarassed to even post it, but since I am a stickler for keeping track of everything, I had to humiliate myself and say that I listened to a Sandra Brown book. Never again. This is the kind of crap my ninth grade female students would eat up - silly plots, steamy sex, shallow characters. That is who I would recommend this to, but not for real. I would steer my kids towards better reading. "

" Great book. Very sexy. A great fast one-day read. Predictable ending but great to read anyway. "
— Chrissy, 1/17/2014 -
" This was a good easy read. "
— Tifalopez, 1/9/2014 -
" too cheesy and definitely predictable. All her books are pretty predictable, but this one was pretty lame-maybe because it was one of her first. "
— Tricia, 1/8/2014 -
" Great story with suspense and romance...loved the ending...another great Sandra Brown... "
— Nancy, 12/18/2013 -
" Wow!!! Hot and steamy - no pun intended. "
— Linda, 11/27/2013 -

— Karen, 10/29/2013 -
" 3 words: boring, tacky, cheesy! "
— Melanie, 10/24/2013 -
" good story line of a man who is held hostage by a small forign village that needs a bridge built over a ravine so they can come and go safely. "
— Sheree, 7/25/2013 -
" A very exotic love story with out being nasty. "
— Kim, 7/6/2013 -
" the hero to clingy and then when he didn't get his way he was just plain mean. the heroine, she needed to let him have it, way to many times of being used as a doormat. "
— Kim, 6/2/2013 -
" Interesting read of an early novel by Sandra Brown. Prior to becoming a very successful mystery writer, she wrote romance novels early in her career - probably to pay the bills. This was one of her first novels. Good cozy read. "
— Helen, 1/27/2013 -

— Adrian, 10/26/2012 -
" So far I have liked her older romances, but this one was ridiculus. How anyone could fall for a woman who kidnaps, shoots and lies to him repeatedly, is beyond me. I guess lust can overcome all! "
— Kari, 8/16/2012 -
" Probably one of the worst/cheesiest SB books I've read...the heroine was an island goddess and a dr on top of it, come on! The hero was brash, blah, blah but just came across as a pervy jerk most of the time. Definitely written in the old romance novel standards. "
— Amar, 6/4/2012 -
" Ewwwwww "
— Sandy, 2/19/2012 -
" Meh, another re-released 80's romance novel. It wasn't bad, but I would have liked it better if I didn't spend most of the book despising the female protagonist. "
— Tori, 11/24/2011 -
" I read this book a long time ago...I wish I could say i liked it more, but I cant. this book was just lacking and difficult to get into, at leaste for me. "
— Gataki, 10/25/2011 -
" I enjoyed this quick romance novel. "
— Wendy, 10/23/2011 -
" Another one of her first, sleazy but good. We have read all her books, start with her more recent, this one is a quick one day read. "
— Brandy, 10/14/2011 -
" A no thinking book--story line that is hard to believe--but easy reading when bored or wide awake in the middle of the night! "
— Celine, 8/17/2011 -
" Fun little romance novel. Great for when you're sitting in the auto repair shop, standing in the grocery store line, etc. "
— travelerblue, 5/29/2011 -
" Not bad, but not the best Sandra Brown novel I've read yet either. The story is pretty original and the main characters are fine. Not too much to say about this book though; for me it was just a story. "
— Misty, 5/14/2011 -
