Book Review of Sleeping With the Enemy

Sleeping With the Enemy
reviewed on + 83 more book reviews


In Sleeping With the Enemy Nancy Price is a spell-binding writer who dodges every Hollywood cliché to write a real \"suspenser.\" In the movie Julie Roberts has only one man to run from-but the Sara Burney of the novel has three. Her husband, a controlling martinet, is the first man she must escape, but two other dangerous men wait where Sara tries to hide. They, too, want to make use of her. The boy next door wants sex. The professor next door, like her husband, distrusts women: he wants a servant so he can write his books.
