Ultimately just a bearable early effort by Guhrke, but nothing worth spending a lot of time & effort to find a copy of (it's out of print & somewhat rare). I found it cliched and melodramatic, and never quite warmed to the heroine. The hero was great; very understanding of her fears and mistrust, but I think Guhrke just dragged the internal conflict out a little too far & for too long to make the romance truly satisfying. The villain is of the typical cardboard cutout variety, which makes the external conflict pretty predictable and boring as well. Overall, I'd say it's worth a few hours of your time, but it's not LLG's best work.
