Customer Reviews

Glad I gave it a chance

After reading the reviews here I went into this book with low expectation, but it was really terrific! Much more a character study than her more recent action-driven works, this story gives us lots of insight into the two main characters. I read that one reviewer felt they were wallowing in self-pity, but I think they were honest to struggle with their disabilities. It would have been totally unrealistic for them to flippantly brush off such life-altering conditions. The fact that it took finding each other to get them over their obstacles is what make this a romance. There is also a rocky road to happiness, which also made it seem more real. If you are only a fan of LH's more recent writing, this may disappoint. But if you are a true fan of romance, sensuality and character-driven plot, this one may delight you as much as it did me.

If you like Linda Howard...!

This is a great read! To compare it to Elizabeth Lowell"s, "Adam's Fall",isn't fair. They are both good stories. but completely different. This is one of Ms. Howards earlier stories, everyone of her books are good! The evolving relationship between Dione and Blake is great. She is his last chance for recovery and how they achieve this recovery and turn to each other was lovely.

A wonderful story, one not to miss!

I've just finished reading "Come Lie with Me" which I finished in one day because I couldn't but it down. It is a wonderful story, with hope, dreams, and wishes coming true and lets not forget, True Love. This story "Come Lie with Me" is a story not to be missed. It is unique and heart warming. It will make you wish everyone had a love like Blake and Dione.

Early Linda Howard stuff! -- It's a fast/quick read.

The story line is reminicent to Sandra Brown's story,Adam's Fall. Blake Remington is a successful businessman who ends up paralyzed after a mountain climbing accident. Dione Kelly, a physical therapist, is hired by the family as a last ditch effort to work with Blake; he has given up his will to live 2 years after the accident. Story starts from that point & blooms into the romance between these two. Blake is physically impared; Dione is emotionally impaired from childhood & marital abuse. They heal each other & teach each other to live/love again. I read the book in 1 day - fast & easy read. As always, good story/quality from Linda Howard.
