Secret of the Stone

By Barbara Delinsky

Book Overview

An artist who coaxes beauty from stone finds her own passion transformed by the touch of one man in this exhilarating romance from the bestselling author.

At only twenty-nine, Paige Mattheson has found success as a sculptor, working from a seaside home in Massachusetts that gives her the solitude and inspiration she craves. But a lot of her buyers are in Manhattan, and it's there that she catches the eye of film editor Jesse Dallas. He can tell from her work that Paige is much more passionate than her poised, self-contained image would have everyone believe. To that end, he poses as her limousine driver to spend the day with her--and see where that takes them.

Shocked by the attraction she has for her driver, Paige feels a longing she never felt before--and surrenders herself to an intoxicating desire. A one-night stand is what both of them wanted and expected. But Paige is unlike any woman Jesse has ever met, and her discovery of his true self will only whet her appetite for more . . .

Customer Reviews

Nothing Wrong With This Book!

This is the only Barbara Delinsky book I have read and if all of her her books are as good as Secret of the Stone I look forward to reading them too. I totally couldn't believe it when I saw the review with the title Read like the plot of a porno, I mean you have got to be kidding, there is absolutely nothing pornographic about this book, yes Jesse and Paige slept together right away and I usually don't care for that in romance books but this time I think it fit the story because they were both lonely unhappy, insecure people who reached out for each other but that hardly makes the book pornographic. This is one of the only romance books that made me cry reading about the sad times the characters had and I am not usually someone who gets all easily emotional from sad books and movies.

Love and Inspiration

I thought the book was very interesting and is a book I would recommend

could easily sympathize with the character

Another great book by Delinsky. It almost felt like you were going through the same thing as the character. This book was filled with emotions and struggles to find love till the end.
