Laney McLeod thought she was just visiting friends in New York when a sudden blackout in an elevator brought her face to face with destiny. Deke Sargent is an attorney with confidence. Used to going after what he wants, he's a ready and willing knight in shining armor to the frightened young lady trapped in the elevator with him. Letting down her defenses for once in her life, Laney allows Deke to comfort her and when she sneaks out the next morning she is sure she will never see him again. However, some mistakes have the greatest consequences as Laney discovers.

This book was a pretty simple, contemporary romance about two people who meet in an odd way, but gradually come to understand each other. I thought Deke was a bit of an overbearing cad, and this impression grew during the time I read the book, so I can't say that I really liked him. The attitudes portrayed are a little bit dated, but that's understandable as this is an older story. Over all I thought it was an okay book but not one I'll read again. ( )

Not all that great, but a fast read. ( )

Hearing about sexual experiences from a man's voice was a bit too much for me, but Deke was a powerful New York lawyer who was trapped in an elevator with a claustrophobic woman. He tracked her down, took over the home and was deeply passionate. When he fouond her, she was six months pregnant. Laney had never been loved and had a hard time receiving or giving love. She ended up having twins and moving to NY york. ( )
