 Over-the-top cartoon characters May 8, 2008
I often see Catherine Coulter's work on bestseller lists, but never had occasion to read one of her books. This reprint was enough to convince me that I wasn't missing anything. The good news is, it's a beach read. It's quick, and you can easily put it down while you go for a swim. The bad news is, the characters are more like caricatures than real people, so a mildly interesting plot goes to waste for lack of a hero or heroine who can handle it. The unbelievable venom in every sentence spoken by Eden's father and half-sister made me laugh rather than sympathize with the heroine, because it was so theatrical. It was also poorly edited. All the people in the book tended to speak with the same mannerisms and cut-off or run-on sentences, with only two or three exceptions. The best I can say for this book is that I think it had potential. If only it had lived up to it!
Entertaining but.... October 9, 2007

This book was good enough to keep me hooked, but also left some things hanging that left me dissatisfied at the end. The story goes back and forth between the point of views, and most of the characters you wanted to just punch in the face, especially Lindsay's family. There were things that didn't make sense, characters that were never developed but should, etc. However, it did make you want to know what happens at the end. Good book, well written, but several obvious flaws.

I have read all CC's FBI Series and have enjoyed them and wanted to read something else by her that was not a Historical Romance and happened across this book. I liked it for the most part. The rape scenes didn't put me off from wanting to finish the book. Even in the FBI Series there were violent scenes (the rape and abuse of a little girl in one)and unfortunately these things do happen. What disturbed me more is the guy got away with the rape. Taylor was quite a guy. This romance was a lot of work for him. Not too many guys would have had the patience to do what he did to get Eden/Lindsey to trust him. The end was a little far fetched like Lindsey taking out 2 different attackers right after she had been hospitalized with a collasped lung and other serious injuries and then again right after she has been shot. I think probably the point here was CC wanted to portray her as no longer a victim, but still a bit unbelievable. I don't know when I've seen a nastier father or sister as 2 of the characters in this book. I kept wanting Lindsey to say enough already. All in all , it was a good read. There were many different characters throughout the book that keeps your interest.

I just love all of Catherine Coulter's books. Her suspense and FBI thrillers are the best. She really fooled me with this one. I thought I new for sure who the guilty person was, and as usual it wasn't. She fooled me again. I really thought I figured it out this time. Fromt the beginning of the book and up to the very end she has you on pins and needles, wanting and guessing what is really going on. I loved it. It is a must read. I highly recommend this book!!

This is a story about a girl who over comes many emotional scars from her family and life in general. I would say this is more a family/romance book with some suspense then a true thriller.
However, if you're a hardcore romance fan, I would highly suggest you try this book. I must warn you though, if rape scenes bother you then this book should be read with caution. This book is VERY vividly detailed, truly a heart wrenching story.. at times it made me tear, at times it made me curse out loud but I read this book in 1 sitting, very powerful and poignant. I didnt want it to end!
