This a hardcover re-release, of a softcover. Was a very good book when it was first printed. Now a bit dated. Still a good read.

I started reading this book, but when I realized there were so many character lines it just got boring. Even though the book is titled Lacy she is just one of several female leads and I dont like that. I bought this book because I have read Noelle by Palmer and enjoyed that because of the focus on the male and female leads, it was also a simple story line. Skip Lacy.

This was one of my first Diana Palmer books. I loved this book. It was the reason I have bought every single one of all her other books. Kate's story was actually my favorite with the mobster and everything that was different. I also like the story between the main characters. I laughed and actually cried throughout this book. Just couldn't believe how involved I got in it. Let two of my friends read because it was so good and I never share my books, made them promise to give it back. I'm reading again just because I love it!

I love Diana Palmer but this book had way too many story lines competing for attention. She should have made this book into a three book trilogy and more fully developed the brother and sister characters. As it is, they just muddle up the story and make it longer than it should be.

This book was great. For being an avid a Mystery/Suspense reader who does not like Romance novels, I could not put this book down. There are family tragedies, love lost and found and best of all hot romance scenes. The romance scenes were sensual and exciting and the comedy in the book was just enough to give it that extra edge.

If your like me a person who thinks that romance novels are tiresome, you will be pleasantly surprised. This is an all around great book.
