Customer Reviews

The sexiest book of all times

I have been an avid reader of Mrs.Sims' books for as long as I can remember and I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed to date.To Have and to Hold has to be THE sexiest,MOST loving book of all times.I cried and laughed out loud so much during my read,that my husband took the book away from me.After he finished reading it himself,he returned it.Needless to say,he liked the bathroom scene.P I have read plenty of books but To Have and to Hold has been a more satisfying read.It lacked nothing.You had your suspense,romance,comedy and the best sex scenes I have ever read.The only thing I hate is to see Rupert,Solange and Desta leave.I have shared this book with co-workers who have also become fans of Mrs.Sims. It's my opinion that Janice is unrivaled in talent and I think that she deserves whatever awards and praise she receives.All of her books have been wonderful,but To Have and To Hold is in a class of its own.You are not only getting a good book to read,you are developing some kind of relationship with the characters.When I first read To Have and To Hold,I felt the hurt and the anger as well as the joy and love.Each read only got better.Janice is a great person who writes great books and I can hardly wait for the next adventure.

To Have . . . Ought to come with oven mitts!!

I admit it!! I am addicted to Sims' novels and I refuse to recover! Her work is unbelieveably smooth, succinct and full of SIN-sual pleasures, but To Have And To Hold is, without question, the SEXIEST novel that Ms. Sims has written. After the third reading, I confess that I will never be a recovering Sims' novel junkie.Of course, her work always has an excellent plot, other characters to keep us entertained, mystery to keep us on the edge, romance to make us swoon, twists and unexpected turns to keep us guessing, all hallmarks of a great Sims novel; but what puts the cherry on this icing (please pardon the pun, I really couldn't help myself)is how a man and woman LOVE each other. Not just "LOVE" each other, but HOT! STICKY! XXXX-rated L O V E!!

Another Guilty Pleasure

If you like boring, cookie-cutter contemporary romance novels, then this book is not for you. On the other hand, if you like suspense, action and some of the steamiest love scenes ever written, I suggest you run out and get TO HAVE AND TO HOLD. Janice Sims has been one of my favorite authors for years and she never disappoints me. TO HAVE AND TO HOLD provides twists and turns on every page and keeps the reader on their toes until the very end. I don't want to give away too much of the story but you may want to read it alone or you'll find yourself yelling at certain parts in the book in public like I was! Mrs. Sims is truly deserving of her title "Award-Winning Author" as evidenced by this book and all those prior. I can't wait to see what's in store for 2005.

An incredible book

For those of you familiar with Janice Sims' work, To Have and To Hold is the culmination of her latest series of fast-paced, intelligent and sensual novels. For those of you you haven't had the pleasure, get ready to embark on a thrill ride of a romance.Rupert Giles and Solange Dupree are back in a hot, sexy and exciting book that you'll want to read in one sitting. Totally satisfactory on all levels, this book is touching and torrid at the same time. As always, Ms Sims vivid dialogue and highly original characters make for a reading experience you won't want to miss.With every book Ms Sims shows more and more creative power that purs her name at the top of my reading list every time. A note of caution: don't start this book at bedtime because you'll read it straight through the night and get up with bags under your eyes. I certainly did but it was worth it.Brava!

HOTTEST OF THE HOT!

This book should come with a warning...HANDLE WITH CARE, HAVE COLD DRINK AND FAN HANDY TO COOL YOU DOWN QUICKLY, OXYGEN TANK FILLED TO REPLACE THE AIR YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE WHILE BREATHING DEEPLY AND SOMEONE YOU LOVE CLOSE BY FOR THAT ULTIMATE RELEASE!What can I say? Solange and Rupert were just too hot! I have always loved this couple and Ms. Sims sent them off with a bang. I loved this story with all the elements of suspense and romance written in its best form. This book was good from cover to cover and the scenes with Solange and Rupert? You could not ask better love scenes anywhere. This one was definitely hard to put down. It will be a keeper that you will want to read over again and again. Thank you Janice for 6 hours of wonderful reading entertainment!In addition to this book, I also recommend FOR YOUR LOVE, A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE & OUT OF THE BLUE all by Janice Sims.
