For years, Sion Sinclair has been trying to forget his past in the bottom of a bottle. One night a ferocious storm ravages a horse carriage en route to London, leaving one of its passengers in his care. As Sinclair watches over the sleeping beauty, she awakens and claims to know nothing of her past - Sinclair plays along with this presumed charade, passing her off as his mistress. It's a facade that sets tongues wagging and Sinclair's heart beating as his clever hoax ignites a passion he cannot ignore for long - and it's only a matter of time before word reaches the wrong ears and a very real danger moves close to his estate.

The most ridiculous heroine I have ever read so far
1 April 2003
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The heroine, Katherine (or Danae), was an abused, ungrateful, exaggeratedly self-pity, blindly in doubt of her hero's feeling towards her. She did not deserve her hero. Sion was such an ideal man for Danae but he was so confused of the situation. I thought he would finally straighten out his "lady Danae", but not even for the sake of a bit of reality, the confrontation between the two just kept repeating towards the end of the book. At first I did not believe Sion would be that weak. Oh well, love is blind. I am an easy reader; I have read quite a few romance books and liked almost all of them. I could not believe that I so disliked this one. Although, her writing was pretty good.

Not as good as her first one
4 Mar 2003
By J. Bryan
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
After reading her first book, Love Me Again, I ran out and got this book as soon as it came out. While she still has some unusual twists in her story, this time I didn't like it as well.
The heroine, katherine, is an abused, overweight woman who is married to a jerk, and has a father who is insane. The Hero, Sion, is a man who has tortured himself for years over the death of his first wife. When Katherine has a wreck in her carriage on the way to London to meet her husband, she ends up at Sions estate in a coma for months. Sion is still an alcoholic, until his last servant leaves and He is forced to take care of her and himself. Katherine wakes up, to find her self slim, and Sion ends up getting sober. They still have their battles with their weaknesses, she is scared she will become overwieght again, and he thinks about going back to the bottle. Through it all, they start to fall in love.
Katherine decided she doesn't want to go back to her old life, and they decide to make things look like she died in the carriage accident. Her father comes to verify, along with her husband, and everything seems to be fine. Then, they move to london and the whole story seems to fall apart. Katherine ends up acting like a total jerk, with Sion being drug into the fray. After they went to London, I had a difficult time finding sympathy for Katherine, because she acted like a spoiled brat. If I was Sion I would have tossed her out on her ear. I don't want to spoil the story, just suffice it to say that Katherines charactor didn't act like I would have expected her to at the beginning of the story. I am not sure that I can reccomend the book because of it. But hey, the beginning was good, which is why I rated it at a three and not lower.

What a horrible heroine!
30 Oct 2004
By Suzanne K. Marienau
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Actually, the word heroine doesn't fit Katherine at all. Ungrateful, beligerant, shrew, and a few others not fit to print describe this awful woman.
Sion Sinclair takes Katherine in after she is in a terrible carriage accident and nurses her back to health. Sion has troubles of his own, but they pale in comparison to what he winds up with after getting stuck with Katherine. The woman rants and raves at him, never seeming to remember that he helped save her miserable life. And after being abused during her life previous to the accident, you'd think she'd be at least a bit grateful for someone like Sion, but gratitude is beyond her. And what was with the "Countess Danae" bit? This was the stupidest, saddest heroine I have ever encountered. I couldn't finish the book, as I couldn't make myself care what happened to Katherine The Awful. This author also wrote "Love Me Again," which was much, much better, although the heroine there had her annoying monents, too. I can't see myself ever finishing While You Slept. I would give it zero stars or less if I could. Spare us all from people like Katherine.
