I've bought this book because a friend of mine told me it was really, really, REALLY good. She told me about the story, and I was like "Oh, okay, this sounds interesting." And it was good, at the beggining. I mean, the main character, Sheila (Fun fact: I could only imagine her as Dianna Agron), seemed like a strong female character, and the story was going great... until she was "kidnapped" (I don't even think I should call it that way).

This was the first romance I ever read, thanks to Mom's saying that I could read ANYTHING on the big bookcase in the livingroom. Apparently she'd forgotten she had a couple Janet Dailey on that bookcase. I was 7th grade, and prior to this book, all I knew about sex, I'd learned from some adolescent book written by Dobson. This novel taught me more about sex than I would've probably learned in a dozen years, living in my parents home. Obviously now I'd have some issues with the plot, knowing that...more
I can usually forget the cliches, sexism, etc. in romance novels, but this one was a bit much. Maybe I needed to tap into my love of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers to get into the romantic aspects of Stockholm Syndrome and rape...
I read this for a class. And I am not embarrassed to admit that I needed to justify why I read it. However, I'll voluntarily and gladly read another romance novel.

This is the book that got me started reading when my exhusband and I was starting out we didn't have a washer and dryer so I was at the laundrymat and I picked this book up there and couldn't put it down here it is 25 years later and I still have that very same book I read it over about once a year.

this has to be ny favourite book ever.this book is not your typical predictable book.the ending my gosh janet it could have ended better.love rafaga his a different hero,all in all a g8t book
This one was a pretty fun read,you have to keep in mind that it is very dated though. It's full of likeable characters .....and a few not so likeable. I would like to know if Laredo ever got his own book.......
My first real romance book so it will always hold a special place in my heart. It's not perfect but I always enjoy reading it.
This romance is an oldie but goodie. Overlook some of the old 1970's references and read it for the great love story.
One of my all time fav, I started it at midnight and finished at 4 am.
A must read!
A must read!
My first love story.. Read this when I was 13!!!
I love this one and read it 4 times already.
Rafaga=Unforgettable hero
Insanity. And I loved it.
This is the first romance novel I read when I was younger and what made me fall in love with reading romance stories to begin with. It's more sentimental to me than anything else. Would I give it 3 stars if I read it today? Nope. Not even close! But like I said, it's more a sentimental read for me and I love it because of that:)
