1: Secret Desire
I love you Gwynne but this one was rather weak. As much as I loved Amanda and Marcus in Beyond Desire I couldn't wait to read Luke's story; unfortunately I was disappointed. I know that I'm biased---being the ex-wife of a police officer but you lost me with the lack of emotion from Kate and her son after the robbery in the very beginning of the book! Kate and her son have been tied up all night no one knows that their there and when they are blessed enough to be found by Luke---there are no tears, no fear, shaking, shock, embarrassment or need to use the restroom---nothing! But you start flirting and go out to eat; and then your rescuer has the nerve to correct your son's behavior because he doesn't want his milk! Please, YOU JUST MET--and HELLO-they've just been tied up all night!! There isn't a "real" black woman alive that would let a man she just met start telling her what her kids need after only knowing him an hour---I don't care how bad her kids are! Luke didn't come across as warm and loving like he didn't in Beyond Desire; he was to arrogant for me and played too many head games!

2: A Reader
I thought the book was dragged out entirely to long. The story line was excellent but just to many details, but overall the book was okay.

3: Delight

Kate is a widow who's new in town, and has trouble with someone always trying to break in her bookstore, but Luke is always there to protect her.

4: VERY SLOW
This book was a very slow read, the first 13 chapter were slow, and there are only 15 chapter in the whole book. I was very disappointed. I love the plot, but it was very slow and I felt like Luke was playing games with Kate. He was teasing her too much, it took forever to get to the GOOD PART.

5: Good Read
After the death of her loveless husband Kate decides to pack up and relocate. She is afraid of threats that her late husband has made about her in-laws. Once she arrives she opens her own bookstore. Within the first week a man comes in and ties her and her son up looking for unknown items. While driving home Luke can't believe his eyes when he sees this.Once he rescues Kate they begin to take action in protecting her and her child. The relationship starts out rocky because they both have been hurt in prior relationships. Although the action starts pretty fast there are some slow periods when you just want to know who is out to get Kate and why. But all in all you will enjoy this book as well as all of Gwynne's other novels.
