Summary: Her best effort by far!
Comment: Out of all of Johanna Lindsey's novels, I feel that this one is the most satisfying to read. I've read a lot of her books, and I found that most of them were either horribly written or lacking enough suspense or excitement to make me want to keep reading. Not so with Dimitri and Katherine's story...
Dimitri is the typical God's gift to women... breathtakingly handsome, perfect body, and wealth to boot. He sees Katherine, an extraordinarily plain looking woman with am explosive personality, and decides he just HAS to have her. Immediately the sparks fly, for who would have thought that Katherine wouldn't want him?
What follows is a clever plot that had me rolling in laughter at times and on the brink of tears at others. Lindsey somehow manages to write a romance novel not just aboutsex, but also provides two fantastic characters and their story together. For those Lindsey fans out there, a must-read. And for those don't particularly care for this author's past works such as myself, I suggest you try this one. It just might change your mind as it did mine.

Summary: Unforgettable and Delightfully Wicked Russian Romance
Comment: "Secret Fire" is definitely an eye-opening experience. The writing is explosive, filled to the brim with memorable scenes and outstanding characters.
It's the story of Russian Prince Dimitri, who sees English aristocrat Katherine on the street in disguise as a maid and decides to have her for the night. His personal manservant Vladimir won't let her refuse, and kidnaps her. From that point on, "Secret Fire" is a breathless romp between two stubborn, passionate people aching to be with one another.
The love scenes alone are original. Yes, she's drugged - but not by Dimitri (at first). However, I've never read anything sexier than what happens when these two are together. Later, Katherine's imperial temper and scathing wit collide with Dimitri's tyrant of an aunt, which results in an absolutely shocking punishment, followed by one of the coolest "rescue" scenes ever (in a kitchen, no less).
I love this story. Dimitri and his "Katya" are hot together, and their story is wickedly delightful and totally unforgettable. The only true criticism I have is that Lindsey spends one or two chapters solely discussing Russia and Russian history, which was not as interesting as Dimitri and Katherine's love lives. If you are a history or culture buff, this won't bother you; if you just want to see the two get it on, it won't hurt you to skip these passages.
"Secret Fire" is one of Lindsey's more risqué and fascinating stories. I highly recommend it!!!!

Summary: the best!!
Comment: Secret Fire is definitely one of the best romances I have ever read. Johanna is amazingly talented. I especially love her Viking Romances and `corse this one. Dimitri is in my opinion one the 3 best heroes ever created by Johanna, with Royce and Selig. And I absolutely loved Katherine!! Though she isnt a great beauty, she is the woman I can admire. The book is very romantic, interesting, sensual, funny, touching and simply wonderful.
