More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper weaves seduction, suspense, and the paranormal into a spellbinding romance centered on an enigmatic woman—and the man whose touch threatened to expose her most intimate vulnerabilities.
What was a woman like Brooke Kennedy doing running a guest lodge alone in the Montana wilderness? And why was her best friend so worried about her? Those were the questions Cody Nash asked himself after agreeing to cancel his tropical vacation to go on a mission of mercy into blizzard country. For the strong and self-assured woman he found didn’t need or want his help—but she was in trouble. Brooke had isolated herself from the world for reasons she wouldn’t or couldn’t say. But Cody didn’t need to be a psychic to sense that Brooke was afraid. Even more, her fear had intensified from the moment he arrived. Now, as a dangerous storm strands them together, Cody must learn the well-guarded secret of this beautiful, gifted woman—if he can convince her to give him the one thing he needs to save her from a self-imposed exile: her trust.

Kay Hoopers, If there be dragons. This is yet another reprint of an old, old book. Which I have and love but I am getting so tired of paying multiple times for the same publication. At this stage shouldn't there be some way of identifying when a book is being re-issued.
I love Miss Hooper. I have all of her books. But this is third in a delightful, light hearted romance series that she wrote about thirty years ago. It is very different from her current books and I don't know about other readers but I am getting awfully tired of paying top dollar for books I already have on my shelves.

Not her best work
15 Sep 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Let me first say that I love Kay Hooper books, I own most of them. So even though I wasn't sure about this one, I bought it anyways because of the author. As the first reviewer said, it had hardly any plot, and you kept waiting for another twist, kept waiting for it to get better & it didn't. Although the wolf wasn't elemental to the plot, he & the male character were the highlights of the book; the damsel in distress was just too predictable. It read very much like a junior high novel. Maybe that's the group she was trying to market to with this one?? If you're used to the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series, don't bother with this one, you'll be bored! If you're looking for a predictable, easy read, or buying for a pre-teen/teenager, it's probably a good choice.
I give all her other books 4-5 stars; if it was an option I would have given this one 2-1/2, so I rounded up to a 3. :)

A Reissue...
4 Nov 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Brooke Kennedy has isolated herself in the wilds of Montana but she won't tell her friends why she needs this solitude. Cody Nash is asked by his friends to go up to Montana and find out what Brooke is hiding and to protect her if necessary. Cody is psychic but he doesn't need his powers to know that Brooke is terrified and has only seemed to increase. When a blizzard snows them in and strands them together, Cody realizes this is a chance for him to not only get to know Brooke, but perhaps save her from herself.
Readers should remember this is a re-issue of an old story. There is formula here people and if a formula book is off putting you may want to look for one of Ms. Hooper's other efforts. This for the most part is a tepid effort and not the best example of what this talented author is capable of producing. The character development is not terribly brilliant and this may also leave the reader feeling a little flat.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book follows a very old formula. Girl with personal issues meets knight in shining armor willing to look past her issues and works through them.
The paranormal part? She's psychic. She becomes a hermit because she's been hurt too many times by her mother and other people. The big paranormal twist that you keep reading on for apparently happens in the first 1/4 of the book. And the rest of it is rather trite.
The dream analogies of this book are suited for a middle-school romance. It reminds me of bad diary entries from junior high. "Oh, he saw right through to my soul with his golden eyes." She has a dragon in her dreams and a black pit/abyss that is representational of him and what the potential future may hold. Blah-blah-blah. Vomit. She only wants to be with him if he can't die. This whole martyr thing isn't even pulled off well.
And the thing with the wolf, really? I mean, REALLY? The non-human thing she's been fearing has a been a wolf that was hurt? PUT ME out of my misery. I kept reading the book to see if there was more to the paranormal-ness or some other plot twist, but that was it! It was about 20 pages of some unhuman thing that exuded pain and she's completely freaked out by it. I'm expecting some sort of dead relative and it's a wolf. Other than reading a few thoughts from the alpha male in the storyline, the psychic stuff is pretty irrelevant unless it's related to the wolf. And the wolf--- OMG, isn't even a great plot device. The book didn't need it at all, but I guess the author needed to add a few pages to this one.
It has a plot and no typographical errors, but I wouldn't go around recommending this book. It's as boring as a Nora Roberts novel.
