Customer Reviews

Excellent often ignored Lowell romance.

Written in the 80s when Lowell was at her sensuous best. The story of sexpot Lara and the insecure Carson hit all the right buttons for me. I love the way Lowell plays with family relationships. I love the way that Lowell juxtaposes Lara's childhood full of love and Carson's lonely one. I love the way Lara can place her own personal memories in the wider context of the history of the ranch. I love the way Carson manipulates Lara's history project from the outset because he is having to risk everything in order not to end up with nothing. I even love the way Carson turns into a romantic sap once he marries Lara. I particularly love the male nudity scenes. And I love the fact that even though both Lara and Carson are educated, all they basically want is a loving home and children. I was awed by how quickly Lara was able to understand Carson's motivations when all the truths were revealed. Absolutely great ending and the love scenes were good too.

From Back Cover

Four years ago rugged Carson Blackridge had branded Lara with his masculine touch, then crushed her innocent heart. Utterly humiliated, she'd fled the Rocking B forever. Reluctantly she was returning but strictly to research the history of the ranch - not to relive her past with Carson. Once jealous rage had driven Carson to cruelly reject gently trusting Lara Chandler. Now he needed her back in his arms. He would stop at nothing to rekindle her passion, use any trick to recapture her love. But if she discovered the depth of his deception, would she once more vanish like the wild, sweet wind?

Could not put it down!

I loved this book! I couldn't help but get involved in the characters whose past memories threaten to keep them from what love can offer. Carson was so patient and sensitive with Lara, giving totally of himself in an unselfish way. I thought it had a good story and great sexual tension. It's definitely one I will keep in my collection.
