Wonderful Rewrite

I had the pleasure of enjoying this book as it was originally published as `Shaken' and am glad to have had the opportunity to read the story again. KG MacGregor is one of my top five favorite authors in this genre and she never disappoints. Here she introduces Anna Kaklis, the daughter of the owner of a BMW dealership. Anna is married, but isn't happy in that marriage. In fact, she's quite miserable despite having an otherwise perfect life. Her husband has recently hooked up with his ex-girlfriend and has a baby on the way with the other woman. Anna decides then to end the relationship. Lily Stewart is an attorney who works to defend low-income women in divorce, custody, and abuse cases. Lily is unhappily single. Both women happen to be shopping at the same mall when a major earthquake hits and traps them both. As Lily works her way toward freedom, she discovers Anna trapped under debris. Lily frees Anna and they continue to work toward the outside. As they do so, they get to know each other quite well and confess things better not told to strangers. After reaching freedom, they lose touch. Quite by accident, they run into each other again several months later and become fast friends. Anna learns to deal with her newly discovered feelings for the smaller woman and Lily learns to trust that love. As a result, they begin to build a life together. Bottom Line - Absolutely wonderful story. It pleases me to no end that it has been reprinted (albeit under a new name) for others to enjoy. Run, don't walk to get a copy today.

Can Not get enough of this dear couple!!

Awesome story with terrific and witty characters, a wonderfully endearing romance Fantastic page turning writing. You really get to know the people. The story is a wonderful romance that develops into a relationship not only with themselves but also their families and friends. The characters are utterly endearing without being stereotypical. Wonderful humor as always from this author. This is a six star book !

Outstanding Story

I had not read Shaken yet I had heard a great deal about the book. When I purchased Without Warning I was eagerly anticipating the story line. I was not disappointed. This is the BEST lesbian romance book I have read. I would have given it ten stars if I could have. I have read several of this authors work and this is truly my favorite. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel to this one. I was truly amazed how I was sucked into the story to the point that I could not put the book down. I stayed up all night and read it. I love the way author developed her characters. Lily and Anna meet in the aftermath of an earthquake. The struggles they face just to survive keeps you on the edge of your seat. This was truly a great book from start to finish. Great character development. Great Story.

AWESOME READ

This is a GREAT book to read! I have read all KG MacGregor books and this is definitely at the top of the list! I read this book in a total of 4 hours! I could not put the book down and you will not be able to either! I never got to read the original "Shaken" so I have nothing to compare this book to, but I can say I can't wait for the next book!

Well worth the read!!!

This is a completely rewritten, updated, and expanded version of KG's first book "Shaken". She's done a masterful job with retelling this tale and leaving the reader wanting more. I loved it so much and became so engrossed in the lives of these wonderful characters that I read the entire book in one sitting. Once you start, you won't want to put it down. KG has promised us a sequel, and I for one am waiting with baited breath until it is released!
