Product Description

He was the boy from the wrong side of the tracks, but that hadn't stopped Wade Armstrong from wanting Edie Brand while they were in high school. Now she was back in town, and Wade felt compelled to keep her safe-even if it meant moving in with her.

Edie's pretty face had always gotten her noticed, but now it had earned the former model the admiration of a stalker. So she left L.A. for her Oklahoma hometown, hoping for a place to hide, and found shelter in the most unexpected place. But as the stalker got closer to home, independent Edie had to entrust her life to Wade's protection-and found herself surrendering her heart, as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars This one's a loser May 24 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Maggie Shayne can certainly write, but this one is a loser. It was difficult to warm up to the hero and heroine - Edie, a former lingerie model is cold and colorless, she returns to her home town and buys up the property that Wade has always wanted because he ticked her off. This is neither adult nor endearing. He, on the other hand, is your typical alpha male who, in this case 'jerks' off while looking at her layouts in lingerie. Not an attractive trait either. These two people are just not likeable and Edie is so dumb, it's scarey - while she's being stalked, she buys an isolated piece of property. The scene where her sister is being tortured is far too explicit for a category romance and more appropriate to a mainstream thriller. The rest of Edie's family were far more interesting than the main characters. Overall, disappointing and not nice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well-crafted romance Jan 2 2002
By Tasha
Format:Paperback
I liked this story of two people who misunderstood each other in high school but come to rely on and love each other later in life. Wade is an appealing hero, and Edie is vulnerable without being weak. The story was well paced and kept my interest. Shayne's Brand stories continue to be enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific read! Very highly recommended Dec 28 2001
By C. Penn
Format:Paperback
Wade Armstrong spends thirteen years proving himself to the small town of Big Falls, Oklahoma. He won't be happy until he's the most successful businessman in town, and owns the biggest house on the highest hill so he can look down on them all. Too bad Wade procrastinated too long before signing the contract for the house of his dreams. When he arranges to meet the real estate again, Edie Brand shows up as well. His efforts to sandbag her purchasing the house backfires, and now she's moving into the house he wanted.

Edie left L.A. when her contract as a lingerie model was fulfilled. Speculation abounds, but tabloids failed to trace Edie back to her hometown. She's kept a low profile, but the stalker that drove her out of L.A. finds her, leaving a "gift" of handcuffs in a plain box in her mother's kitchen. She doesn't tell anyone of the numerous "gifts" and letters the stalker sent, or just how threatening they have become. The threats drive her out of her mother's house and into a place of her own so she can protect her family from lurking danger. And now Wade has taken it upon himself to protect her.

Book two of The Oklahoma All-Girl Brands miniseries continues the excitement with pizzazz in BRAND-NEW HEARTACHE. Maggie Shayne presents a vividly realized, fast paced novel with extraordinary characterizations and a terrific plot. When opposites clash, Edie and Wade find that have quite a lot in common, beginning with hidden interest stemming all the way back to high school. Secondary characters are likewise believable and enchanting, including a mother who's never wrong and an empathic sister who sense energy flows. A fabulous read, BRAND-NEW HEARTACHE comes very highly recommended.
