Very Good Read

From Back Cover Taylor's time as Jared Steele's wife was short but not sweet: within weeks of their wedding she discovered that she was pregnant and that Jared had a mistress. She lost both the baby and her marriage... Now Taylor is stunned by Jared's return-and his ruthless claim that he wants her back! And he holds the trump card: he won't grant her a divorce unless she agrees to his demands. Though Taylor will never forget the pain that drove her and Jared apart, how long can she hold out against his magnetic sensuality-when every glance at her tall, dark and impossibly handsome husband reminds her of the passion they once shared? Comments: This book was a very good read. The heroine and hero definitely love each other, but Taylor is so dramatized by her upbringing that she doesn't trust easily and prefers to guard her emotions. Jared is very likeable and is trying to win back his wife and uses the days the couple is stranded in his grandmother's former home to try to convince Taylor to reconcile. Jared is sometimes condescending to Taylor, with comments such as "...that little brain of yours..." stated to during a disagreement. Their relationship could have been reconciled sooner if Taylor didn't still have scares from her past and Jared was more open about his previous relationship.
