Sheila (sheilaj) | 1 comments Not Even for Love by Sandra Brown Not Even for Love by Sandra Brown
Finished 6/10 2 stars

This is one of Sandra Brown's earliest romance novels (1982). I love her suspense stories she writes now and decided I would try to read her entire bibliography. In this rather predictable romance novel an American bookstore manager living in Lucerne, Switzerland encounters an American photojournalist and sparks fly. The fact that she is engaged to a different very wealthy man makes the story more interesting.



Giggle - Jordan suppressed a GIGGLE. page 74

Balloon- BALLOONS, beautiful as they were, burst easily. page 122

Stomach - The champaign she had drunk seemed to be boiling in her STOMACH. page 35

Talent - She was aware of his TALENT page 74

Phone - Helmut laughed into the PHONE page 55

Gift - Tourists milled about, browsing in the GIFT shop. page 79

I am enjoying this too. I must admit, I use this thread for book ideas if I am not finding a word that week. I am so glad not everyone waits to post all their books at the end of the week like I do. I found 8 of the words this week in one book, but now I am stuck on the last 2.
