I didn't know a re-issue of this book had been done I was re-reading it for the umpteenth time. I bought it as Summer Games, I didn't put it down the first time. It was even more interesting because my brother lived near the course site in San Diego at the time. It was easy to picture Dev and Raine streaking through the land. Emotional and filled with raw energy, it has been one of my favorites that I have picked up and enjoyed for years. It is well worth another read.

Slow. Not the best romance novel. it certainly never 'grabbed me.

Another of her early books, but my favorite, but shows the beginnings of the amazing author she came to be.

An old Elizabeth Lowell story, but I enjoyed my vice.
Lowell always has good research behind stories. Utilize s figures of speech, other wording in line with main story subject.
I always learn new words and information. And about new places.

In the last of my Elizabeth Lowell Summer 2009 Marathon, I'm jumping out of the historicals and into a contemporary, Remember Summer. I was hoping that I'd get closer in general flavor to the sorts of suspense novels Lowell's been writing for much of her recent career, and at least in some ways, that's what I got; it was easy to see the progression from her historicals to this novel and on up to her later work. Still, this one's got its feet planted way more on the romance side of the fence than

I recently read Beautiful Dreamer and loved it, so I tried this book. I wasn't overly impressed. Elizabeth Lowell improved a lot in 20 years between Remember Summer and Beautiful Dreamer. Summer wasn't a bad book it just wasn't good either. The love at first tackle (hehe) scenario was over done and not believable, but the rest of the love story was better. The theme of a "rambling man" meets special woman and changes his ways to stay with her, was done amazingly in Beautiful Dreamer, but doesn't

Seriously? Talk about seductin at warp speed! You gotta read it to understand, but...okay...I might just need to read (instead of listen to) chapters one and two again 'cause I obviously missed SOMETHING.
No, she was an unwilling victim (yet really willing) to be seduced by a man who had just knocked the wind out of her thinking her a terrorist.
Okay. Sure.
I so wanted to finsh this book, that I found myself actually skipping over some of the more detailed riding passages! Call me impatient. I was ...more

I read this book when I was young and I must have liked it because I kept it. I found it on audio and was excited. I was confused less then an hour in. I picked up the book to see if the audio book missed a few chapters, but nope, there was no mistake. It baffles me that this book made it to the shelves. In less then ten pages the two main characters meet, lust after each other, and fall madly in love. I felt like I was being punked and there was a hidden camera and soon I'd find out it was not

This book was published in 1984. As long as you remember that while reading it, you'll do fine. About 10 pages in I realized it was Old School and had to check the publication date. Once I did, I just gave up any requirement for "reality" and enjoyed the ride. Heh. The heroine is feisty and inexperienced; the hero is older and jaded from his years as a secretive operative. You can figure out how the romance is going to work from the first chapter on.
Still, it was fun to read and a bit of a time ...more

I did like it. Its an easy read - the Olympic setting was interesting. And I gave leeway for when it was written. I could deal with the fact that it wasn't action packed, but I really wanted more background on the terrorist and what Cord was up to previously. My biggest peeve was the fact that her family seemingly has never told her anything at all about what Daddy does and seems to have little to no connection to her. Yes, her father is a senior diplomat secret agent person, but he really could

Audio Book #6 of 2009
I first read this book back in HS. Picked up, no doubt, because of the equestrian theme. I've read it twice, I believe, and enjoyed it this time. So when I was looking for an Audio book to listen to when we went to Buffalo, and I remembered this, I tought, why not? We've listened to two other Elizabeth Lowell audio books this year, so I though it would be tolerated.
What I didn't remember about the book was how little action took place. Most of the book seemed to be about the ...more

I enjoyed the parts about the Olympic equestrian competitions however the story was supposed to have some suspense/intrigue which it lacked. The background on the assassin was also missing. The end felt very rushed.
This is an author that I have read a lot of and have added her books to my 'keeper' book shelf. Most I have read at least twice and some even more than that. Always in depth characters that anyone can identify with on some level.

interesting, as, soon after the rules changed, and the 2004 Olympics introduced the short format. I don't know how many horses were injured previously, but one is already one too meany. The romantic story did not add much to the book.

Good story, "Cord" seems a little too good to be true. Ah, if only men did talk like that.

I enjoyed this book about the equestrian events more than the other parts of the story. I learned so much that helped me to follow the International Games held here in the US in 2010. Very exciting!

The 1980s patina is very heavy on this one.
I so totally agree with another reviewer. Gave it a 2 only cuz I finished it
the fact that I survived the book is a miracle - dear god, how bad

I almost gave up after the first chapter. The first time they meet is redic, I mean come on. Anyway, the only thing I like about the book was the end was pretty sweet.
You can tell it was written in the 80s and is primarily a romance with not much suspense but well developed intelligent characters and a good Olympic flavor.
Listened to this as an unabridged audio. This was an enjoyable read and the excellent narration by Laurel Merlington [the best at audio books] turned an average story into an exciting read.
