Possibly the worst book i have ever read. I would give it 4 stars for unintended comedy value just because it was so badly written.
Wow, great plot. Cynthia Cooke sucks you in to her thrilling novel. a must read!
Really good book with lots of twists and turns. Very enjoyable story. And different from my experiences with Harlequin novels.
