(Mass Market Paperback - Reissue)
When Sebastian Plato left his hometown, he was just a kid with a bad reputation who'd been framed for a crime he didn't commit. Now, 15 years later, he's back, and determined to get what he deserves: respect, success--and Bliss Winters, the woman he loves before, now, and forever.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but Cameron shows little of Jayne Ann Krentz's wit, whimsy or good taste in her latest woman-in-peril contemporary, after Sheer Pleasures and Pure Delights. At the heart of this muddle is a bittersweet romance with likable protagonists: Bellevue, Wash., high-school sweethearts Bliss Winters and Sebastian Plato, separated 15 years earlier, when he jilted her. Now they have another chance to rekindle old flames, but someone doesn't want the lovers reunited. As Sebastian's wooing begins to win Bliss over, the dead bodies start piling up. A cluttered plot, base villains, crude sex scenes and a motley cast of secondary characters with unfortunately cutesy names (e.g., Liberty Lovejoy) work against the story's readability. Author tour.

December 01, 2003: I thought this was a good book. I really enjoyed reading it but I thought that is was a little over the top. It had a great story line, but somethings I wish was explained a little more. Also there seemed to be somethings that were put in there just for the sake of being there and was not explained or ever brought up again. I wish there was more of an ending as well but over all I enjoyed this book.

December 22, 2002: This was hard a hard time catching my attention. The beginning seemed a bit disbelievable and after that it went downhill. She could have done much better on the plot and with the characters. Sebastian and Bliss (What kind of name is that) are a bit boring with their love and problems. I would not recommend this book!
