great book

I have read all of Linda Howard's book

this one is good, a different story with a good ending.

Read this if you love Linda Howard

not enough dialog

Would you try another book from Linda Howard and/or Joyce Bean?

Yes

Would you ever listen to anything by Linda Howard again?

I am listening to one now

Did Joyce Bean do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes

What would have made this romance irresistible?

if there was more dialog between the charactors instead of the thoughts of the main charactors taking up most of the story. Made the love story passionless.

Awesome!

Excellent, strong characters, believable storyline, no hanging ends. Just a good freakin story with a touch of “something”..... This was a very good book. I’ll buy it.

Fabulous - AWESOME

Second chances are not always given to people especially someone like Drea Rousseau who had a penchant for diamonds and powerful dangerous men. She had a good run with Rafael Salinas, a powerful crime lord who deals with betrayals by brutal elimination. She played it smart lasting two years by playing dumb, biddable and gorgeous. But Rafael made a big mistake when he pawned Drea off to the assassin as a bonus for a job well done. That was Rafaels first big mistake. Perhaps it was just what she needed to make a break and thats what she did, making him pay; oh, did she make him pay! Unfortunately, Rafael dispatched the assassin to track her down and kill her.

While the assassin was enticed by the two million dollar fee, he wasn't sure what he'd do when he caught up with her, for after their four hour afternoon delight of sex, he'd been moved by Drea, even if he hadn't taken up her offer to take her along with him after she begged him too. He chased and found her but a tragedy ended the conundrum as to whether or not he would have killed her. Knowing Drea was dead and he being the cause of it was something he would have to deal with and it changed him.

And with that Ms. Howard throws a delightful slice of paranormal into this story that gives Drea a second chance at both her life and changes others.

Simply FABULOUS; OUTSTANDING and one of the BEST BOOKS I have read this year! And to think this was my first ever book by this author [but believe me not the LAST!!!] ! Woo hoo! I could not put it down!!!!

Drea was left for dead and to all intents and purposes she was dead! This was the part where Ms. Howard blew me away; whether a person wants to subscribe to her theory or not. Unfortunately, this is also part of the story that I would rather not spoil for anyone else, suffice it to say, you will either love this angle or hate it!

All in all I loved LOVED this book!

A really good read

This story has everything, romance, suspense, excitement an a good bad guy and a bad good guy. Get this you won’t be disappointed.

Any additional comments?

I won this audio in a contest. I had heard good things about the book before but had not read it yet. I really enjoyed this audio. Joyce Bean is a favorite narrator for me and I enjoyed her narration as I expected. The story was good, and the flawed characters - especially how they retain flaws after miracles happen to them - were realistic to me because of the flaws that stuck around. I think this is one of Linda Howard's best novels.

Love this story!!

I read this book years ago and I reread every few years.
I purchased the audio book so I can listen on my commute.

Read or listen to this book about 3 times a year.

Not sure why this book appeals to me so much, but I return to it like an old friend. At least once every 3/4 months I listen to this on Audible or read it. I guess I like that fact that people are redeemable and love does conquers all!

Glad I listened

This was good, a little dated, but still good.

Drea or Andie, or Andrea was a drug kingpin’s mistress. She’s happy living the life of luxury, acting like a bimbo, until she gets slapped in the face with just how disposable she is. So she decides to put her contingency plan into motion. And she runs.

It was exciting when she ran, a little scary, but a fun part of the story.

I would have liked to feel a stronger connection between Andie and Simon. For some reason, I felt like there was something missing but I can’t put my finger on what it was. Maybe it was that at the end he sort of pulled away instead of holding onto her tighter. It was sweet that he was unsure but I think it left me wondering just how solid they were. Or maybe it was that they still felt a bit like strangers even by the end.
