Looking for author, title of a romance book that I read in the 80's or early 90's. It was about a man who was named either Daniel or Phillip, who was kept drugged in a sanitarium, kept there by his family. He was ultimately rescued by a woman who realized he was not insane and eventually helped him get his life back. I think the title may have had the word "Man" in it, but not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

This sounds like Flowers in the Storm a great book by Laura Kinsale.

Just so you know, there is a separate thread just for this sort of topic here at:

I read that book you're talking about, but dog-gone it, I can't remember the name of it. It was a thin book, like a Harlequin, except I don't think it was, maybe Love Swept or one of those. I remember it though. It was his brother that did it, but I can't remember why. And the meds had him somewhat child-like, so I think she called him Danny. I can't remember why she kidnapped him from the place, but she did, and something happened to the meds and he wasn't getting them, and that's when his true self began to come through.

I read this book years ago and I remember a lot about but I can't think of the name of the book or the author heres what I know. It's about this young single mother who lives on a ranch and is raising twins. She is the aunt to these twins. The father or another man somehow related to the twins shows up wanting to take the twins as his own. She does not want to give them up because she can't have children of her own. The man tries to say that raising the twins on a ranch is dangerous and that his home would be better. While this is going on someone is sabotaging the ranch. One of the things they do is relaize a bull on the farm. The woman is driving up with the twins in the car when she notices the bull she gets out and draws the bull a way from the car. The only other thing I remeber near the end of the book the saboteur kidnaps the babies. They go after the kidnapper and the woman gets shot in the stomach. I believe she survives though. That's all i can remember of the book. If anyone can tell me the name I'd greatly appreciate it.

Oh, this sounds like one I'd like to read. Is it A Special Man? (As per Starlightgenie's comment above). I must get hold of a copy!

Hey so this is a book i read recently. I don’t remeber much. Just that hero takes heroine to some veteran club or something like that for their first date . I remember it has this really funny server who keeps them entertained. Also the girl is quite witty so whoever tries to flirt with the hero she has quick and witty replies to it. I am sorry for such a vague description i can’t remember much .
