Product Description
Dani Quinn walked into her high school reunion with dread and anticipation. She knew Logan Webster would be there, and she had no idea how she would react the first time she saw him. She had left both Logan and the small Texas town years before. Her departure had been abrupt, painful, and not of her choosing. She'd never had the chance to tell Logan the truth.
Handsome, charming, and dangerously charismatic, Logan has grown into a man who exudes all the power and confidence of self-made success. He listens as Dani describes her work for Friends in Need, a charitable organization that raises funds for mentally and physically challenged children. He is attentive as she explains the foundation's hope that he will donate one of his properties for a much-needed summer camp. Then he suggests a shocking proposal of his own. A coldhearted "business" deal that conceals a hurt Logan has never gotten over.
Frightened by her own feelings for Logan, hoping to heal the pain she has caused him, Dani agrees to his unconventional terms. What she never expects is the chance that their love will be rekindled. But it is not that simple. Once again Dani is forced to leave Logan without so much as an explanation. For unbeknownst to Logan, Dani has passed through a heartwrenching tragedy that has changed her life forever, and where she must go not even he can follow.

 NOT one of Brown's best early books July 28, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Dani was such a wimpy heroine. It would have been much better if we had known WHY she acted the way she did and then proceed from there. And the way Brown talks about the characters, it sounded more like a 20 year reunion and not a 10 year reunion. I am sorry, but people don't change and accomplish as much as Logan did with as much hinderance as he had to get there, not even if you are driven as he was. I could understand it if it was 20 years later, but 10 years is way too soon. All in all, not a very well written book and definitely not up to her later standards.
 One of the better early Brown romances November 9, 2006
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
It is with a heavy heart that Dani Quinn returns home to Texas to attend her 10 year high school reunion, where she runs into Logan Webster, with whom she shares a past. She is hoping to talk the now wealthy rancher into donating land for a charity which means a lot to her. Dani & Logan eloped after graduating and when her parents found out, the marriage was annulled before the wedding night since they deemed him unworthy of their daughter. At the class reunion, Logan proposes an odd bargain for the land she wants for her charity - he wants the wedding night they never got.
Though she agrees to his request, plenty of tension and plot devices scheme keep the two from consummating their agreement, particularly since Logan is convinced that Dani is harboring a dark secret. Turns out to be a pretty predictable and mild secret, but it wouldn't be a true Brown romance without a wrench tossed in to separate the lovers.
The premise is good, I like the characters, but the dialogue is kind of atrocious at times and the story just seems incomplete. Running at roughly 200 pages, it certainly could have used some padding to tell a more compelling story. Nevertheless, it is one of the better early Brown romance novels.
It was okay, but I wouldn't bother... May 28, 2005

I say skip it, move on to something better. Especially if you're a new Sandra Brown reader. (as I am)
I read it in one day only because it was easy, not because it was good. I've only read about 12 of her books thus far, but usually with her novels, the characters come alive. They stick with you and you hold on to them and their story as though these were people you actually knew. Well I read this one about 3 months back, and I can barely remember it now. The general story, yes, but nothing stuck.

THE WHOLE TIME I WAS READING THIS BOOK, I KEPT THINKING ABOUT WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. ESPECIALLY ALL THE DUMB THINGS I DID TO TRY TO IMPRESS A CERTAIN GUY.
ANYWAYS I THOUGHT THIS BOOK WAS LESS THAN AVERAGE. FIRST OFF I DONT THINK DANI SHOULD HAVE LEFT WITHOUT TALKING THINGS OVER WITH LOGAN, BUT THAT DOES NOT EXCUSE LOGAN'S BEHAVIOR AFTERWARDS. I THINK IF THEY WOULD HAVE LEFT THAT SCENE OUT I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS BOOK AT LEAST 4 STARS.

I love to read anything written by her. I am a hopeless romantic and i just love the happily ever after ending of her books. This one was so great. I made you wish you had a long lost love like the characters. I recommend this book to anyone with a romantic heart.
