I really enjoy this author. My first book I read of hers was "And Then He Kissed Her" which I loved and proceeded to go on a mission to find her entire back list. This was a good book. I do wish it would've had a stronger element of romance and less of a mystery.
I must say that lawyers are not my first choice when thinking of a hero for a romance novel. Daniel Walker is the exception to that rule. He is brilliant, successful, gorgeous, and wounded from his childhood. What More...

I did not want this book to end. I really enjoyed it. The characters were wonderfully developed and the story kept my full attention, which isn't always easy. The murder mystery was compelling and I enjoyed the portrayal of the trial. I did figure out the killer's identity before it was revealed but that's not unusual; I love trying to puzzle out the villain before the reveal.
The characters are what made the story for me, though. I really liked Lily and Daniel. Despite their vastly d More...

I must say that lawyers are not my first choice when thinking of a hero for a romance novel. Daniel Walker is the exception to that rule. He is brilliant, successful, gorgeous, and wounded from his childhood. What else is there to say? Lily is his best friend's ex-wife who he "destroyed" by his cross examination in her divorce trial. Interesting premise.
I enjoyed this town. The stereotypical townspeople, the scandals, the relationships, all were developed beautifully. My one More...

I tend to be a bit of a subgenre snob in my romance reading. I like my heroines Western European, my heros the same, and I like a Western European setting. Breathless was a break from that and I am so glad that Super Librarian Wendy put me on the path of this book.
The best part of the novel was the setting and time period: 1905 Georgia. Awesome! Enough tension created by external factors like class and race, but modern enough to have a heroine with a real job (librarian - YAY!) a More...

I love this book!! Its soo heart wrenching, sweet and just soo nice...
I adored Daniel, i think he is sweet even though he is a ruthless lawyer. But he's always nice to Liliy, despite Lily being his adversary.
And i love Lily too.. She is so strong and yet so vulnerable.
I love the window scenes, Amos, and the ending! Although i detected some similarity between the breakup scene here and in the 'and then he kissed her', i still feel it worked in both stories and loved it! L More...

Lily Morgan's reputation was ruined when her husband divorced her under grounds for adultery. Lily never cheated on her husband, if anything it was the other way around. But when Lily was put on the stand, Daniel Walker the hot shot lawyer twisted and turned her testimony until she did look guilty and the jury agreed.

I loved the chemistry between Lily and Daniel. I haven't read many books in the time frame of this story (1905) Lily's reputation was shattered when her husband divorced her, a big no-no in that time. My heart went out to her as her marriage problems were all due to her husbands infidelity and wild ways. This book had a great plot, great characters, sizzling romance and a wonderful ending.

I thought the first 3/4 of the book rated a 3 star but the ending was a "feel good" 4-star ending, so if I could, I'd give it a solid 3.5. I solved the mystery part of the story early early on so there wasn't much suspense involved.
