New York City publicist Liz Jerome is happy with her successful career and her friendships, and she feels she is finally in control of her life. When she is assigned to handle a tough public relations issue for Donovan Grant’s company, however, she starts to feel that control slip away. Donovan has no qualms about blurring the line between professional and personal, and he makes it clear he’ll stop at nothing in pursuit of Liz.
Verdict What may have seemed like attractive male sexual dominance upon the book’s original 1985 release now reads more like cringe-worthy workplace harassment and sexual assault. While Breeda Kelly Miller reads the text with ample nuance and feeling, there are plenty of newer, better romance titles that will leave readers feeling much more satisfied.—Amy Koester, St. Charles City-Cty.

Narrator Breeda Kelly Miller’s performance conveys the sexual tension and drama that develop as confident and down-to-earth business guru Donovan Grant attempts to charm his quiet public relations director, Liz Jerome. Miller’s varied pacing maintains the listener’s interest as Donovan attempts to discover the reasons for Liz’s resistance to his attention. While Miller portrays some of the supporting characters with clear accents and voices, the voices of the protagonists, on more than one occasion, blend into each other. Still, Miller captures Liz’s conflicting desire and Donovan’s persistence in believable tones. M.F. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
