One of Karen Ranney's top 5 & my all-time favorite books, it has a permanent place on my keeper shelf.
Michael has very pressing and practical reasons to make a suitable, successful marriage to a wealthy heiress asap, but he simply can't force himself to give up the woman he loves - no matter the cost. He personifies everything a romance hero should be. Lots of romantic & steamy love scenes, but not the least bit overdone.
Grade: A+
Sensuality Rating: R

A beautiful and sensual love story. What might appear as a slow and plodding storyline is actually an erotic seduction, complete with visual aids! I love all of Ranney's books, if you can, read My Beloved, My True Love and Heaven Forbids. You'll weep in sorrow and joy for days afterwards.

Loved the book so much I am going out to buy my own copy to support the author and posting this second-hand book so that others can experience how wonderful this story is! :)

Either I'm blushing or this is just a hot flash, but who knew there could be such significance to a simple book cover?

What a story! Karen Ranney is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite authors. Michael is the stuff of dreams: a self-possessed, perfectly composed model of cool decorum ... or so he believes himself until the facade crumbles to dust at the feet of his lady love.

The chemistry is there and it sizzles, yes, but that's not the main attraction. It's that the characters are so well written. There's depth here, and the author peels through the layers until we've unknowingly invested ourselves in the characters & their lives. The intense attraction between the couple is just buttercream icing on the cake.

I can see that I'll have to add another shelf to the library just to hold Karen Ranney's books. This was the second of her books I've read and it won't be leaving, either. ;)

This book had too much sexual content with a lot of intimante detail of each encounter. I felt it took away from the story.

Excellent character development, detailing the stages of passion, lust, & finally love. Storyline could have been better developed. Even the sex scenes were restrained but beautifully detailed. recommended.
