Unlike most other people that reviewed this book, I could hardly put it down. I was surprised, actually, when I came to review it how little everyone liked it. I thought it was a downright sexy romance novel and I loved both of the characters. Rylan North is the most coveted actor in Hollywood and he's supposed to be arrogant and sure of himself. Kirsten Rumm is a widow with some issues and he's the perfect antidote for her. What I really liked about this book was his genuine kindness toward her, even when she was constantly pushing him away. I loved the dialogue and the storyline. I loved the whole book from start to finish.

This book is about a famous heart-throb (Rylan) who moves in with a woman (Kirsten) who wrote the screenplay for his latest movie. The movie is about her late husband's life and death. Rylan moves in to learn more about him and in the meantime, he falls in love with Kirsten.

The problem is, the story and the characters lack depth. The reader never gets to understand why these two people liked each other. They never even got to know each other. Every chapter is the same scenario; Kirsten avoiding Rylan and Rylan rethinking his every move like a 16 year old boy in heat.

I am no longer going to blindly purchase a book because Sandra Brown's name is on the cover.

This was one of Sandra Brown's earlier books before she made it big and it was reprinted in hardcover. Rylan North is the famous actor chosen to act the part in Kirsten Dumm biographical portrait of her husband. When he asked to come and stay with her so he can channel her husband she is against it, and so begins this tug and war between the starcrossed lovers. She eventually allows him to stay with her. He then starts to fall for her but he is not sure if her feelings for him is real or if she is channeling her husband's love on him. Interesting read, I have read better titles by the author, but I enjoyed this because I always like seeing the hero fighting for the woman. Unlike my fellow reviewers I did not buy it i borrowed it from the local library and even if I did buy it I think it would be worth the cash.
