Loved it
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I've read this book many times and still love it, it does carry several plot lines but still manages to be utterly engaging. Highly recommended.
Another winner! Can't wait for something new!

For those of us intelligent enough to not be bogged down by intricate plots and subplots, this novel is a refreshing change from the usual schlock that's turned out in the genre of suspence. Ms. Beauman's abilty to create good characters and plot is what puts her on top of the heap. A great novel - enjoy!
Beauman has written better

London-based fashion reporter Lindsay Drummond is burned out with her current job and lifestyle. She is even more tired of waiting for the man she loves, Rowland McGuire, to return her deep feelings. So when her son goes off to college and hedonistic Colin Lascelles enters her life, Lindsay decides to go for the gusto and enjoy life with the man. In New York, someone is stalking film director Tomas Court, his ex-wife actress Natasha Lawrence, and their young son. Through Colin's Manhattan connections, Lindsay and ultimately Rowland become locked in Natasha's struggle to win a cat and mouse game with an unknown foe. The stakes are her abducted child. The sequel to the brilliant DANGER ZONES brings back some fan favorites, who remain delightful characters. However, this time around Sally Beauman has so much going, the novel becomes confusing without a road map. This is too bad because DECEPTION AND DESIRE has a great prime story line, but the sub-plots weigh that down. Still, fans of romantic intrigue will enjoy this cross Atlantic tale. Harriet Klausner
