But when they reached safety, would the bonds they forged disappear like a desert mirage...or endure to the altar and beyond?

This was the first time I've read a Harlequin novel and I'm not here to say that this was some sort of life changing piece of literature. What I will say is that it was a fun read with a decent story. It kept me readying . . . so 4 stars!
