Customer Reviews

Hot and steamy jungle passion. I did love it so.

I loved this book. Kane was a wonderful hero. Tough and mean with a dark tourchered past that makes him think he is not worthy of a decent womans love. I read it in two days, it is so fast paced I could not put it down. look forward to reading more of this author.

Loved it!

Love the sexual tension and passionate relationship between the hero and heroine! At first I just skimmed through the book, reading passages here and there to get an idea of what the story's about. The hero seemed a bit crude at first, and a lil rough around the edges... But when I actually sat down and read the novel, Morgan's story really touch my heart. It's clear that he loves sarah very deeply and passionately... bordering on obession, I'd say... Morgan is... let's see... a bit on the mean side. He rages and has a tendency to grab/shove/squeeze/slam people. He yells at sarah a lot and has a habit of stalking and staring at her from afar... And even though he tries like hell half the time to avoid her, he just always seems to seek her out in the crowd, and watches her when he thinks she's not looking. And he just loves sarah so much. She...gives him a reason to live, I'd say. Morgan also has a tragic past of being abused, molested, abandoned, tortured, and betrayed... So you can get a pretty good idea why he is the way he is -a bit on the rough and crude side... but never evil like King, who seems to share a common past. Sarah is a sweetheart... a bit naive when it comes to matter of evil and danger...but stubborn as hell. No matter how tough things get, she grits her teeth and bears it all. One heck of a gal. Sarah is ... a bit confuse when it comes to Morgan. She's really attracted to him, but she's scared to accept his love because that would mean giving up everything she's ever heal dear, everything that is stable and safe in her world. Throughout the story, however, you can see how she matures and emotionally grow. Her experience with danger and death teaches her that there's more to life than social repectability and a titled husband... I love the person that she's become at the end... Somethings I did not particularly like about the novel was the disturbing details about how King tortures and kill his slaves... it made me kinda nauseous, so I don't know if that's a compliment to the writer for successfully getting her point across, or what...lol... I also wish the ending was a bit more climatic... I kinda wish King would die a horrible, painful death... lol ... Sorry if that's a bit blood-thirsty. You'll know what I mean when you read the book. For some reason I kinda feel like the book is incomplete somehow... mostly the story between Morgan and Sarah... I didn't really see how Morgan went from someone who didn't think Sarah would ever love him, to someone who feels he's worth something (IF he indeed undergoes that spiritual realization in the end) I didn't really see that... Miss Sutcliffe kinda left out that part, I think... Anyway... this one's a keeper folks. You won't regret buying it. Incredible sexual tension... very passionate and deep in a way not many novels can compare with...

Worth finding

I have now read two of Katherine Sutcliffe's books, this one and "Notorious" and they are both way above average. "Shadow Play" is a breathtaking story of unrelenting passion and bravery. It's a page-turner and it stays with you long after you've finished it. Morgan Kane is a hero you won't forget. "Notorious" is also a cut above average. Ms Sutcliffe's writing, character development, dialogue and plots are really excellent...so far. Can't wait to read another of her books.
