Quotes

“From the first moment, the sexual tension between the two is hot, and Susan Boyce’s slow, smooth voice adds to the sizzle. Boyce transitions easily between the various characters, and her whispery Spanish accent is sexy and believable. This is an old-fashioned romance novel, and Boyce’s presentation is well done and well acted.” AudioFile

“Appealingly read by actress/narrator Susan Boyce. Independence and determination characterize Lara, and Boyce emphasizes these traits with clear, precise diction. Her rendering of Ricardo’s Latin accent is charming; soft and tender during love scenes, tense and sharp when facing danger.” Library Journal
