'Four years is a long time not to set eyes on the woman who made a public spectacle of me'
Madeline's engagement to Dominic Stanton had ended sensationally - so much so that she'd fled to America to live with her divorced mother. But now Madeline was back and determined to show everyone she had left that wilfully impulsive child behind her. However, some things hadn't changed. There was a bitter feud between her family and Dominic's and - even more disturbing - Dominic still had the power to affect her; only he could be responsible for her over-whelming feelings of desire....
Ok not one of Michelle Reid's best books but still nice and easy to read. The story follows Madeline and Dominic, who are now four years older and wiser, they slowly come to realise that they are still very much in love and are meant to be together, despite all of the past problems and their two families feuding...

NOW THIS IS ROMANCE - ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE READ IN A LONG TIME
26 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
I read this book twice,straight away and lingered over each and every word, that's how much I love this book.I was so sick of the Hero's in so many of the other books that I read that I fell in love with this Hero, he wasn't what has become the norm in so many books, where the hero sleeps with any moving female, insults the Heroine to a point that it's burnt on her soul, he was alpha but not so over the top that you needed a restraining order against him. Okay they were engaged and they had a four year gap before she came home and it was such a waste of years, but I really think that she needed to grow up into herself because she was a young 18,she needed to learn when to stop her antics. But he loved her brazen as she was, he loved all of her and when he gave with his heart and soul and opened himself up to her and told her how he loved her and how he felt that's when he became the most perfect HERO for me (and the Heroine of course). This is definatly my favourite, and I thank Michelle Reid so much for giving me back my faith in Romance Books because it was lost among adulterous/selfish Hero's who's lack of faith/respect in the Heroine also showed a lack of LOVE. I would also like to thank Michelle Reid for giving me an ending that was not just a page long, it was full of love and openness, for once in forever a romance book left me satisfied and happy. This is how a ROMANCE book should leave you, this is ROMANCE. When Michelle Reid writes "you couldn't, I couldn't, we belong to each other" this is LOVE this is ROMANCE. As women we deserve LOVE/RESPECT that is given with a free open and honest heart. We should not have to accept selfish love, adulterous love, a love that makes us feel at fault, that is what is so often portrayed in so called Romance Books these days and makes me sad to think that we accept that as norm, because the majority of these books have the Heroine accepting this and even appologising to the Hero because she has been made to feel as she is to blame. So I thank you Michelle Reid for giving me back my faith, and hope that the next Romance book I read has even a touch of the Love and Romance in it that this book does. THANK YOU.

My Favorite Harlequin Presents of All Time!
7 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
I just re-read this book for goodness knows how many times, and in my humble opinion nothing touches it (although another book of hers, The Dark Side of Desire, comes in a close second). While I have enjoyed several books that deserve a 5 star rating, this one sits at the very top. Without a doubt, it is my all time favorite book. I loved Madeline and Dominic characters. They loved each other and they loved deeply. My very favorite part (and I have several) was when they finally made love for the first time, and Dominic knowing Madeline was still a virgin, said, "You couldn't, I couldn't" referring to the fact that despite a 4 year separation neither had been intimate with anyone else. Now that is true love! And, I adored that Dominic though very much an Aplha, was still vulnerable when it came to Madeline. He never took her for granted. Another beautiful thing was that we didn't have to wait for the very end for them to express their feelings. This book is simply magical.

childish Big Misunderstanding
27 April 2010
Format:Paperback
Former wild child is now composed & well-mannered young woman 4 yrs after her older ex-fiance publicly humiliated her in front of their distinguished family & social circle. She is back in England from Boston to attend her sister's wedding, only to find out that her & Hero's family has been on the out since the "scandal". Both are trying to figure out a way to mend it while dealing with their attraction.
This Reid book didn't work for me. The writing was not very clear. Maybe it's because their Big Misunderstanding was stupid & overblown. Both Hero & heroine over-reacted to it & so did their family. There was some maturity towards the end but Hero & heroine still gave their family/social circle too much power over their love life.
If you want to read a good Reid book, skip this one & try Gold Ring Of Betrayal (Harlequin Presents, No 1917) instead.
