Good, not what I expected.

I thought the book was good, it had a l0ot of twists and turns. But it wasn't as good as I would have hoped it would be. I do think you should give the book a try, it was worth the money.

Magnificent Read

When I first read the back cover of this book I was not very sure about it. So it went on the bottom of my pile. I am so glad I decided to read it. I love romance books with both strong heros and heroines. That is exactly what you get in this book. The love that grows between Alex and Cloud is very believable and you understand why they care for eachother. Something that is sometimes missing from other romance novels. The plot of the story is also very interesting and full of action. I never became bored while reading. I think one of the hardest challenges a writer can face is how to keep the female strong and independent without stompping all over the male. Jo Goodman did an excellent job and I hope to find more books like this one.

I adore this book.

This book, originally (Passion's Bride), is the reason I read everything Jo Goodman writes. It is the first book I read of hers, and one of my favorites. It has a strong heroine in Alex, and a perfect partner for her in Cloud. The story line is interesting and believable. The cast of characters feel like old friends. I adore this book. It's one that you will read over and over again.

A good read

Another good read from Jo Goodman. This book isn't as good as some of her most recent books, but it still held my interest. After reading the Dennehey sisters series and My Steadfast/Reckless heart, nothing can compare. But it, read it, enjoy it, but always go back to her other series.
