Story4 out of 5 stars 1,219
A music therapist who thrives on helping others, Kendra Michaels cherishes the ordinary life she has achieved after stem cell surgery restored her sight. The skills she perfected during those sightless years - the ability to pick up the most subtle audio, olfactory, and tactile cues in the world around her - coupled with her laser-sharp mind - have made her a uniquely potent observer and problem solver. Kendra’s uncanny way of connecting the dots is as baffling to law enforcement as it is legendary.

Delilah Winter is one of the hottest pop stars on the planet, so how in the world was she kidnapped right in the middle of a show at the famous Hollywood Bowl? If anyone can figure it out, it's Dr. Kendra Michaels, who works with local and federal authorities on only the most impossible cases. Blind for the first 20 years of her life until a revolutionary surgical procedure allowed her to regain her sight, Kendra uses her powers of observation - honed during her years in the dark - to detect what other investigators don't.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 7

Mistress. It sounded so sordid, so impersonal, so far removed from the kind of relationship Marley Jameson had with Greek hotel magnate Chrysander Anetakis. What she thought she had. Until he abruptly broke things off between them and told her to leave his luxurious apartment.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 33
Mark Holbrook was a legend. A tall, rugged, imposing legend. He'd won a Pulitzer, interviewed kings and queens, presidents, and movie stars. Carly Barnett, on the other hand, was a former-beauty-queen-turned-advice-columnist. Not exactly on the same level. Still, Carly was determined to prove that she was more than a pretty face. Mark wasn't sure the beautiful and spirited Carly had what it took to be a reporter, but he was sure that he wanted her. And Mark never denied himself what he wanted.

Classic Iris Johansen…. Captivating!
Listening to this audiobook in the context of the year it was written…1985… it deserves nothing less than 5 stars! Relative to other books of its time, it’s amazing! So well written. The characters are well rounded and the romance is heartfelt, charming, and sweet. The audiobook was produced by BBC America, and it shows in the high quality audio sound and the talented narration.
If you want to enjoy a vintage romance that’s well written and absorbing, this book is for you. If you’re thinking about spending a credit on it because you’re a fan of Iris Johansen’s modern romantic suspense novels, you’ll be disappointed.

Thought Johansen - got Cartland
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If I wanted this kind of book I would have picked a cheap Harlequin ... Not enough info to warn me on the teaser never expected this from Iris didn't bother to finish it
Has And the Desert Blooms turned you off from other books in this genre?
I will certainly not buy just by her name any more
How could the performance have been better?
Silence
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Yuk
