And no damsel in distress scenes, that was another plus.
All in all I just really enjoyed the flow and feel of the story - it may not be one of her best works, but it moved me and kept my eyes on the screen - so mission accomplished. Jul 03, Lyndi W. Ten sentences in and I read "he was a 35 year old black with" Oh, he's not even a man, just a black. I'm forgiving of the arrogant and pushy heroes, not the dehumanization of black people.
Which wasn't even acceptable in the 80s, so what the fuck, Nora?
And while this story might be great, I'm Ten sentences in and I read "he was a 35 year old black with" And while this story might be great, I'm so turned off by this stupid sentence on page one that I have no desire to continue and actually give this book a chance.

There's nothing more to the characters than what's given in the description above. In my opinion they are very shallow and badly developed just like in most of her books and you cannot really connect with them. I didn't like it, nor enjoyed reading it because of its predictability, but I suppose it's not bad for a teenage romance novel. Jul 23, Becky rated it really liked it.
Liv Carmichael is the co-anchor in Washington D. C Thorpe is the top Washington correspondent with the same network and a huge thorn in Liv's side, always stealing her chances of top stories from her. Both very ambitious, professional and headstrong. Thorpe is good looking and arrogant. Thorpe has been attracted to Liv for a long time.
Major stories in their profession causes them to be together a lot. Tensions, attractions and romance Liv Carmichael is the co-anchor in Washington D. Tensions, attractions and romance boils between them.
I enjoyed the characters and the story line. A fun, fast read. Feb 23, Ashley Christensen rated it really liked it Shelves: I really loved this story. Definitely more like Nora now.
I really loved Liv, I think her character especially had depth, and her "secret" really threw me and had me very emotional. I definitely felt for her, in that moment. Here is a man that I could fall in love with, and the kind of men that Nora writes now. This gives me hope that the rest of the 80s won't be too terrible.

OK it was written in , but this was a bodice ripper of the worst kind. I sincerely hope the author is embarrassed by this. Wonderful combination of love and suspence This book is exactly what I expect from.
The characters were believable and real. The story was engrossing. Oct 23, Jennifer Brown rated it liked it. You can definitely tell that this book was written awhile ago! The story isn't bad, but it's not something I would recommend to readers unless they like ones that aren't up to date.
Glad I got this from the library and didn't buy it. Nov 07, MissKitty rated it it was amazing. One of Nora's older books, I read it and loved it even then. The Hero is in pursuit of the heroine who is a strong independent woman and resisting him fiercely. Her husband changed all that. So, now we deal with the changes. I am excited to have my grandson back in our life. He is a great young adult. I am also looking forward to helping my daughter as she takes her next steps.
For my husband and me? Maybe our life needed some shaking up. A new adventure awaits!
I am about to leave a 22 year career, the only job I have ever had as an adult! I have gone through such a range of emotions; fear and worry, great relief, sadness that the working life I led and thought would continue, is ending soon, all mixed in with an underlying excitement about what might be possible in the future. I am definitely at the stage Marion Woodward describes but I am coming to terms with it and feel good about having the freedom to actually ask myself what I want and to be able to try new things out to see what suit me.
Years ago, life brought me to a beautiful place of being with my sweetheart in the country — a very far cry from my original plan to be a single city dwelling lady for the rest of my life. It was hard to say goodbye to the city but ultimately it was the best decision for me.
I find that life often brings me places I would have never picked for myself but land up being the best for me. This is once again perfect timing for me… You do this quite a lot… As if you could read what troubles I have! Even though there are some stressfull moments! But reading this helped me a lot!
When you move to a new city, you say goodbye to another. When you start a new class, you may have to adjust your schedule and say goodbye to something else. Let go of your need to hold on to the past or attempts to control the future. Instead, simply be open to letting things unfold. Notice small shifts in your relationships and work. If you pay attention, you can probably notice tiny beginnings and endings all the time.
Let them help you navigate the bigger stuff. Laugh and find joy in the process. If you miss what was or feel uncomfortable with change, own it. All of those emotions and the energy that surrounds your beginnings and endings is real. Discover the power of the pause by taking an adult time-out. Comments Courtney, I am noticing my life is more about small shifts right now.
