Setting: Contemporary
Sensuality Rating: 8

When an unexpected storm disrupts young widow Alicia Russell's camping trip with her two sons, she and the boys are rescued by a mysterious man who offers them shelter for the night. Alicia is reluctant to accept Pierce Reynolds's offer, but the ferocity of the storm and the resulting damage to her own cabin leave her little choice.

Pierce's attention to the boys wins their outright worship--and reminds Alicia how much her sons have missed having a man in their lives--while his sensuality rekindles emotions Alicia had thought were long buried. But as she gradually allows herself to explore her desires, Pierce seems determined to keep his distance emotionally for reasons he can't, or won't, explain.

Well written and sensual, this hardcover reissue of one of Brown's early entries in the Bantam Loveswept line holds up well given the time that has elapsed since its initial publication in the early 1980s. The plot device of enforced togetherness is somewhat tiresome, but longtime Brown fans looking for a hardcover edition of an old favorite might like to splurge on this one. --Lisa Wanttaja

First let me say, I hated Breakfast in Bed and this is a continuation of sorts to that book.

After her best friend and fiance run off together (BIB), the main character finds love in an unlikely place. I thought the plot twist at the end was great and it was an overall easy read.

This book was my introduction to an author named Sandra Brown and I've been a fan for the past six years. The day I picked it up I needed something to escape from long hours of studying and practicing accounting figures in the library and it did just that from the first to the last sentence in five hours. However, I recommend you read "Breakfast in Bed" first . . . "Send No Flowers" is a continuation.

This is a simple love story, true; it is definitely not her best material, but good none the less. It has that `stranded' feel to it at the beginning, which I love. I loved both Alicia and Pierce; however I did grow impatient with him throughout the book. But in the end, it was worth the wait. And it warmed my heart to read the inclusion of old friends from Breakfast in Bed. I wouldn't say run out and buy it, I did only because I like to own her books, but at least pick it up from the library. It's a worth while read.

The way Sandra Brown writes is wonderful. So far i have gone through a ton of her books and I have not found one I dislike.
With this one she portrayed the characters perfect. It was like you stepped into the story and where there with the characters. I loved it.
This one i have read more than once and it still wasnt enough.
