Summary: This one is oh so-o-o HOT
Comment: Wow! This one gets hot from page one. Usually I don't like that because I like to get to know the characters before the author has them sleeping together (this is why I DON'T like Nicole Jordon's books or Susan Johnson's). However, Melanie George handles the love scenes expertly and makes it work. The protagonists are typical, but still very likable. The plot is not complicated, but just interesting enough to keep the story going. And, the love scenes. . . well, the love scenes are so hot that you'll need to check your fingers for singe marks after reading some of them. Yet, they're not trashy, just erotic.
If I have one complaint it would be that I wish George had spent a little more time on the romance between Dominick's friend (can't remember his name) and Parris' friend, Gwen. I love the bad boy type and Dominick's friend is just that type. Gwen is more than a match for him with her saucy tongue. I liked these two characters almost more than the main characters. It would have been nice to read a few more pages starring them.
Otherwise, this was a terrific novel --- well worth buying.

Summary: 3 1/2 *'s For Ms. George!
Comment: This was a fun story where both the hero and heroine share a past (their childhood) and therefore already have an established relationship that changes from childhood friends to perhaps more.
Parris and Dominick are wonderful characters with a lot of chemistry between them. I feel that the looks to the past that they share with their reader are sweet and show the groundwork for the romance that is soon to follow and as a result these little memories were a favorite part of mine.
Parris has always loved Dominick so she is hurt when a series of events leads up to Doninick proposing to her witch of a sister Annabelle. Rightly so Parris avoids Dominick and after the engagement between Doninick and Annabelle is called off, Dominick joins the army. He leaves without telling Parris goodbye.
Eight years later both have grown up a bit more mentally and they find themselves back in each others lives. The feelings that these two shared have not gone away. The entire time Dominick was at war he thought of Parris, and at the same time Parris continued to care and think about Dominick. This of course colors the their future relationship.
This is really a story about two people falling back in love with each other. Their history plays a very large part in how they interact with each other. I agree that with some of the other reviews that they had a serious communication problem, and as a result so much left unsaid became more of a problem. Fear not these two finally get their act together and have a happily ever after.

Summary: Not One of My Favorite Books
Comment: It is not often that I give a book less than four stars, in fact I think this is only the fourth. But this story line is one that sets my teeth on edge. The heroine Parris professes to have loved the hero Dominick for as long as she can remember, however she never fails to believe the worst of him. She believes everyone including her B**** of a sister who wouldn't know the truth if it bit her on the a**. So how great can this love be.
Dominick continuely tries to seduce Parris instead of talking to her. He wants to bed her but can't seem to communicate how he feels and why. In fact they both bumble along through the entire book making one mistake after the other. It isn't until the last few chapters that they finally work things out.
I have loved the rest of Ms George's books, but this one forced to read the last two chapters and put it away.
