When Michael Cassidy and Elizabeth Parker meet, there is an instant chemistry, but they are both playing it cool, due to events which have happened in their past. Trying hard to, but unable to fight their mutual attraction they become close, only for Michael to reject Elizabeth, with both Michael and Elizabeth afraid to take a risk. If they take it moment by moment is there a chance for love?
It is another sensational read from romantic author Laura Taylor. This is an emotionally charged story about two mature people who need love but are afraid to let go of their past. The sensual scenes are very well written and add extra flavour to the story-line. This is a passionate and dramatic story of a fear of love over taken by a deep desire of the need for love.

I didn't like this one as well as the Warrior books (I've read all 5 of those). It's very well written, Ms. Taylor has a knack for natural dialogue. After some of the books I've read lately with awkward, stilted dialogue I really appreciate that.
Elizabeth was a great heroine. She smart, funny, beautiful, compassionate and willing to stand up for herself. I wish the relationship with her family had been explored a little further, I would have liked to know more.
Michael I had a harder time warming up to. He's full of secrets, yet so pushy when trying to uncover Elizabeth's past. He pursues her and pushes her away at the same time, it got a little frustrating for me.
The last chapter was confusing and a little too rushed. Elizabeth walks away after Michael does something (they both consider to be) unforgivable. But her attitude sort of turns on a dime and left me with a bit of whiplash. It seemed to resolve itself too soon. She was so angry, and then just ok with it.

Been reading this since God knows when, the main characters themselves in this pulse driven. emotional roller coaster ride that I've read in this romantic novel that is amazing. I give 5/5 stars in this compelling storytelling by love, trust, and betrayal in this moment to moment basis of two people struggling to let go of their painful past.

This was my first read by Laura Taylor and just a couple of chapters into the book, I knew I would be reading more of her books. With every scene, I felt the character’s angst, so much so it was if I were looking through her eyes. With my daily distractions while reading, it is not normal for me to become so pulled into a story, but every time I picked this one up, I lived it. I especially love the heroine’s strong character and loyalty to what she feels. There are twists and turns in this romance keeping the reader riveted to the very end.

I enjoyed the story once I got into it, but I almost quit reading because it took until at least chapter 4 to really get any kind of momentum going. I also find the characters' need to restate their feelings of hesitation to be a bit repetitive. That said, I was satisfied with the ending and overall it was a good read.

Astoundingly beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Worth many more stars. A recommended read if you're a romantic at heart and believe that love can conquer all even the emotionally crippled.
