He appeared in her life with the unexpected force of a desert sandstorm, sweeping her from terrifying danger in to the sweet haven of his arms. Daniel Seifert was a fierce man, used to taking whatever he wanted, but Zilah, the spirited woman he’d risked his life to rescue, filled him instead with a passion to protect. Yet when they hid from their pursuers in the shelter of a narrow cave, their closeness ignited an overwhelming need, an intimate sharing that melded terror and desire. Once Daniel learned Zilah’s tragic secret, though, he feared she was lost to his heart forever. Could he teach her the healing power of love?
Traci Svendsgaard's soft, sensual voice wraps itself around every word of this early Johansen story of rescue and romance in the desert. The production would be fine with better writing and a more organized plot, but both are lacking. Daniel snatches Zilah from a terrorist who hopes to ransom her, and they fall into each other's arms immediately. Naturally, Zilah is carrying some emotional baggage, which bothers Daniel but doesn't seem to enter Zilah's trite thoughts. Normally, a good reading would enhance the text and characters, but the former is dreadful and the latter are shallow and, in Zilah's case, whiny. The only being you care about is a tiger cub, who says nothing. Try one of Johansen's later efforts. J.B.G. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
