A New York Times Bestselling AuthorIt was magic and illusions. So lion trainer Jo told Keane, the new owner of the circus. Night after night he watched her fearlessly enter the lions' cage. Why couldn't he see how her heart did cartwheels at the very sight of him, and that for her the greatest wonder of them all was when he held her in his arms?
The thing I liked most about this story was the setting - a travelling circus! It is very different, although the rest of the story is trademark Roberts - the characters start off on the wrong foot and spend much of the story fighting the inevitable. The ending is a bit confusing, but the story is still interesting, romantic and (at times) comical and even sad.I borrowed this book, it was a quick read and cute.

When reading this book, I nearly felt like I had joined a travelling circus myself. The settings are vivid and the characters highly enjoyable in this early Nora Roberts work featuing 'Jo' as the herione, a lion-trainer with an old-school travelling circus. When the circus' owner dies, his big city lawyer son 'Keane' takes over. Of course Jo and Keane fight it at first, but the sparks fly. There are a couple of funny moments in the book, an incredibly sad moment involving Jo's favorite animal and a very tense scene in a cage.This book is a relatively quick read, good for a rainy day. I highly recommend it.
A Light, Enjoyable Read

Excerpt from the back of the book:"Jovilette Wilder had thought her sedate but sexy boss was as gentle as a lamb-until she heard him roar. And for a woman who tamed lions for a living, Jovilette had a feeling that the untaming of temperate Keane Prescott would be far more dangerous..."
