DESCRIPTION:
The author also writes the most erotic lovemaking in the business, which Susan Ericksen handles with aplomb. This story, aided by Howard's descriptive narrative, translates well to audio, with evocative visual images cascading through every scene. It might have been bliss had Sarah's employers not developed a habit of dying by murder. Sarah is equally frightened of her feelings for him; she had never before felt so deeply.

Especially impressive was the description of the healing Sarah required during and after her ordeal.Wish it was possible to give this book four and an half sta.
