But it is a great re-print

This is a great re-print from the 80's. It is dated, and one can tell this from the synopsis. Consider it a historical if you need to, but get over that fact it is a re-print, because this is too good a book to miss. Shannon is a wonderful herione. Kind, artistic, concerned with others (being a non-talented person surrounded by talented people I can tell you how fictionalized this is), smart, and takes care of herself. Garth is a mega rich "silicon chip guy" who was betrayed by his wife and best friend, and is used to women throwing themselves at his feet and his money. The suspense is good, the dialouge appropriate, the characters fit well as a couple and their actions are exciting without becoming melodramatic. The scene after Shannon and Garth watched a feminist version of "Taming of the Shrew" is one of my favorite. There is nothing I don't like about "The Ties That Bind", but I can't let any book go completely unscathed. His 80s car-phone worked in the mountains-I don't think so.

It tied me to it...

I always like a story that combines love and great sex, with a little distrust, suspence and life in the business-world.The brooding Garth get completely knocked off his corporate-feet by sweet, honest and antsy/craftsy Shannon. And when their two worlds crash, there is fireworks and danger. It's a nice little book that I can recoment to anyone who is a Krentz fan.
