"A clear 5 star in every sense. Great story, typical Johansen plot. You don't know till the end of the book what will happen. Very well written. 5 stars don't do it justice."
— Barb (5 out of 5 stars)
“From the first moment, the sexual tension between the two is hot, and Susan Boyce’s slow, smooth voice adds to the sizzle. Boyce transitions easily between the various characters, and her whispery Spanish accent is sexy and believable. This is an old-fashioned romance novel, and Boyce’s presentation is well done and well acted.”
— AudioFile“Appealingly read by actress/narrator Susan Boyce. Independence and determination characterize Lara, and Boyce emphasizes these traits with clear, precise diction. Her rendering of Ricardo’s Latin accent is charming; soft and tender during love scenes, tense and sharp when facing danger.”
— Library Journal" I listened to it on a playaway (electronic recording from the library). I didn't realize it was going to be so "steamy" but yet so tender. "
— Kathie, 11/7/2013" Not great but an easy read..too much like a harlequin romance "
— C.mills, 10/2/2013" This book was so predictable that it was funny. Very cheesy and corny. A tough one to listen too. "
— Janet, 4/21/2013" Another light romance novel, but this one actually had a bit more depth to it. Captured more of the emotion, and you really saw the connection between the hero and heroine (Ricardo & Lara). I recommend this book for the romance novel lover "

— Sherri, 3/6/2013" I waited 8 months to get this from the library. Since I've read all the other romance novels that the library had by Iris Johansen, I wanted to read this one. There's still a long line of readers who have put a hold on this. Ms. Johansen does not disappoint. "
