Product Description

From Booklist

Kristie Phillips has straightened out her life by divorcing her abusive husband, retaining custody of her young son, Curtis, and teaching special education at a Long Island school close to home. Now the unimaginable has happened: her ex-husband has abducted her son. The normally shy woman has come to attorney Zan McManus for help. The well-to-do, gorgeous African American attorney is way out of Kristie's league, but he sets her at ease and takes on the case because as a small child he, too, was taken by his father. Although the case is eerily similar to his own, Kristie has one quality that his mother didn't: she will not give up her search. As the search proceeds, Zan's admiration for and attraction to his client grows then, after a lead sends them to Mexico, the sizzle between them becomes a full-fledged fire. King-Gamble's steamy romance spotlights child abductions and the hardships that loved ones endure. Patty Engelmann

3.0 out of 5 stars Romance or Mainstream?, Jun 22 2004

This review is from: Come Back to Me (Mass Market Paperback)
What would you do if your ex-husband abducted your young son and you feared you would never see him again? This is the question that our heroine must answer as she tries to locate her missing son. After getting fed up with her husband's abuse and problems with alcohol and drugs, special education teacher Kristie Phillips, decides to divorce him. With her son missing after visitation with his father, Kristie enlists the help of attorney, T. Zan McManus.

T. Zan McManus, Zan as he likes to be called, wants to do whatever it takes to help Kristie find her son. Zan knows all too well what it is like to be abducted and to never see your mother again. He has a special place in his heart for missing children. He takes Kristie's case because of his overwhelming need to help her find her son and also, to protect this young woman, who seems to be on the emotional brink.

COME BACK TO ME revolves around the search and rescue of Kristie's six-year old son, Curtis. Zan and Kristie are drawn to each other by a mutual attraction and as they work to find Curtis, a budding romance evolves. While in Mexico searching for Curtis, the couple succumbs to their mutual attraction and falls in love.

COME BACK TO ME is not a typical romance novel; instead it is a story of how devastating it can be to lose a child to a parental abduction. For that reason, the romance is not paramount and rightfully so because of the serious nature of the story. Since the romance is lost in the bigger picture of child abductions, the reader does not get the chance to be enamored by Zan and Kristie falling in love. COME BACK TO ME is a well-written story, but it does not fit into the traditional romance genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rescue Me!, April 26 2005
By Toni Lea "Avid Reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Come Back to Me (Mass Market Paperback)
Okay, so I'm not the type of girl who likes the idea of being rescued. But if T. Zan McManus was doing the rescuing, I could definitely make an exception! Marcia King-Gamble's tale works on a lot of levels. Any parent will empathize with Kristie's despair over her abducted son and shiftless ex-husband. Romance junkies will long to meet a hero like Zan. And any girl who has been accused of being (or wishes they were) "sassy" will love the unapologetically flirtatious and curvaceous Lizette!

Buy this book! It's definitely a keeper. Although I've already given my copy away to a friend who will love it as much as I did...
