Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Setting: Contemporary America

Sensuality: 8

Olympic gymnast Morgan Kirkwood was only 19 when CIA agent Jack Temple recruited her for undercover work at the Korean Olympics. Years later, they meet again when Morgan's cover is blown and Jack answers her call for help from the CIA. Someone holds a grudge against Morgan for having helped the U.S. government free an inmate from a South Korean prison 12 years before, and that unknown someone is determined to kill her.

Morgan has never forgotten the handsome CIA agent, and Jack has never been able to wipe Morgan from his memory either. Now the two of them are thrown together, their lives in danger as they're hunted relentlessly by powerful, unknown killers, while Morgan wonders if she can really trust Jack. Who wants Morgan dead? Is it the Korean mob, searching for vengeance after twelve years? Are the assassins somehow connected to the man Morgan helped save from that Korean prison, Hart Lewiston, now a U.S. senator and potential presidential candidate? Or is it someone in the CIA who believes Morgan left Korea with more than an Olympic gold medal--perhaps secret information?

More Than Gold is a nonstop, roller coaster ride of thrills and chills coupled with a riveting romance between a hero and heroine who are fearlessly brave, smart, and passionately committed to survival. Hailstock has single-handedly redefined the nature and scope of the term "romantic suspense" and raised the bar by which readers measure a spectacular story. With this level of plot and prose, Hailstock is a sure bet to hit the bestseller list. --Lois Faye Dyer

From Publishers Weekly

Twelve years ago, on the recommendation of CIA agent Jack Temple, Olympic gymnast Morgan Kirkwood executed a daring prison rescue of an American operative during the games at Seoul (and an hour later won a gold medal). Fearing retribution these many years later, Morgan (a former homeless girl who survived the mean streets of Washington, D.C.) has set up an intricate, masterful escape plan. Upon returning home one day, Morgan senses danger and realizes that someone has broken into her house. Inside she finds Jack Temple, who quickly explains that he's there not to threaten her life, but to save it. Moments later, Morgan and Jack escape a barrage of bullets in an episode worthy of James Bond. Though Hailstock (Opposites Attract) has created an interesting back-story for Morgan and many explosive and sexy moments for her and Jack, the book fails to fully engage the reader; and between Morgan's inexplicable skill as a covert operator and a single kiss 12 years in the past, there's demanded too much suspension of belief.

This review is from: More Than Gold (Mass Market Paperback)
Wow. This book just kept going. Ms. Hailstock put more action in one book than you might read in 10 books. And it was all believable! The previous 5 reviews made me purchase this book. Take my advice: Read this book. It is an intelligent novel that just happens to be a romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like Linda Howard and Andrea Kane, May 6 2001
This review is from: More Than Gold (Mass Market Paperback)
You'll love this book! It's got to be one of the best finds I've made in a long time. Its got mystery, suspense, and best of all romance and passion. It keep you guessing about the good guys and the bad guys. I've read romance for so many years that it's hard to keep from skipping pages - the stories are so predictable. But, this one isn't. If you like your romance with a great plot and sexual tension - buy this book!
