This book is sick, but in a good way, but that is usually the way J.L's books are.

She was kidnapped. They only spent a few days together. When they made love, it was because she was drugged. She was beaten brutally. She escaped him. The misunderstandings. And everything else. Just boring. Don't waste your time on it.

This is the first Johanna Lindsey book I read and I instantly love it. it was so detail and nice example of strong characters. Katherine st. John is example of smart woman who holds on to her values but opens her heart to a wonderful. Yes, it push the envelope but it was still tasteful and unoffensive. This book made want to read other Malory books.

Secret Fire has always been one of my all time favorite books from Johanna Lindsay and when my other copy was lost, I was devastated. So I had to buy it again!! It is one book that I like to go back and re-read regularly. Even all these years later, it is still very HOT and the writing draws you in and makes you feel like you are actually in that era!!

I really enjoyed this book but have to say I disliked the rushed ending. You never find out how the heroine makes her way back to England or know what the hero goes through to try and find her. It just happens. Despite that I have to say that I am willing to read it again. Not her best but DEFINITELY not her worst.
