In the middle of a blood-drenched island paradise called Purgatory, Mattie Sharpe meets again the only man she’s ever loved. Hugh Abbott spent one wild, illicit night with Mattie, then spurned her cruelly as he walked away from her and his broken engagement to her sister. Hugh now deeply regrets rejecting Mattie’s love. He’s chased her for months, desperate to prove his love to her. But she’s not so easy to convince, especially when they finally meet over a dead body! This classic Jayne Ann Krentz relives the alpha hero, a hard, tough and merciless man … and a marshmallow at the feet of his lady, even as she calls him a jealous Tarzan: there’s no need to go around beating your chest and defending your territory. Silver Linings has some priceless moments of humour, mainly Hugh’s caveman reactions to those (men) nearest and dearest to Mattie, and the way he’s so hot for Mattie he doesn’t care what he has to do to make her love him back (and get her into bed! whew! whew!). Terrific secondary characters colour this romantic suspense. Relive the magic for yourself.
