ISBN 0440167531 - I'm not a romance fan, and I really expected to "3" this book at best. I find myself happily wrong. The interesting naming patterns - Samantha's old and new loves' initials are exact opposites (J.T. and T.J.); the older couple in California have the surnames of Lord and King - amused me and made me realize that the author's attention to the little details was what made the book well worth reading. The bigger reason I enjoyed the book is that it doesn't just follow the simple recipe for romances - Sam's life goes on before, after and around the love story and spans the width of the entire country. Read the book. At the end, you're going to want a horse - and a boss like Harvey.

I love this story. This is one of the first Danielle Steele I ever read and it touched my heart and made me a fan. Nothing has changed over 20 years later - it still touches my heart and remains one of my favorites. Sam is a wonderful woman that faced more heartache and tragedy than any one person should in their life. Don't want to ruin the story by saying too much just read and enjoy

Probably my favorite DS book so far and I've read at least 20 if not more. It included romance, adventure and heart tugging events. I really enjoyed reading it.
