This review is from: Street Where She Lives (Mass Market Paperback)
In the Amazon, globetrotting photojournalist Ben Asher helps bring down murdering con artist Asada although the prisoner vows vengeance. However, he returns to reality when his twelve years old daughter Emmie calls pleading with him to come to South Village, California as her mother Rachel Wallers was severely injured in a car accident. He would have said no, but he learns that Asada escaped. He flies to California to keep the two females he loves safe. Rachel wants out of the hospital after a month there because she needs the security that her first real home provides her. As a child she wandered the country as her father saved corporations from certain death. When Ben enters her hospital room, Rachel asks him to leave, but he refuses. This is the first time they have seen each other in thirteen years since she threw him out of her life. Ben takes Rachel home. As Asada's thugs close in on the trio, Ben and Rachel know they love one another and Emmie, but she needs roots and he needs the world. Fans of complex relationship dramas with some minor related action will enjoy the return to South Village. The story line is at its most interesting when the lead protagonists skirmish over the safety of shelter that supports Dr. Maslow's hierarchy of needs as Rachel needs permanent shelter among her most significant first level requirements while self-actualization with minor shelter pulls Ben. Though the Asada subplot is more of a device to get the prime pair together, fans will of deep character studies will appreciate this tale. Harriet Klausner

Romance with a side of suspense,
By Regina Avalos - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Street Where She Lives (Mass Market Paperback)
Ben Asher and Rachel Wellers are high school sweethearts that drifted apart. Each wanting things in life at the time, Ben went off to work, and Rachel stayed behind content that she was finally finding a place to call home. The only difference here is they have a daughter between them, and this makes it difficult for the two to totally walk away.
Thirteen years later, an accident has left Rachel needing of care, and her daughter decides to call in reinforcements. Those reinforcements being in the form of her father. Upon hearing of Rachel's accident, Ben returns to the place and woman he had left behind. However, it is quickly discovered that Rachel's accident might not have been an accident at all, but someone looking for payback against Ben. The rest of the story follows the journey these two take to find love once again, even if they both fight it every step away. Jill Shalvis writes an emotional story that sucks you in. The plot is believable, and the characters are ones you want to root for. I became engrossed in this story, and found myself picking up the book whenever I could and turning page after page. If you're looking for a good romance story with a side of suspense, this one definitely fits the bill. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

Keeps you reading!,
By Bambi - Published on Amazon.com
This was my favorite book of Jill Shalvis so far! It makes your heart tug for the characters. Jill really draws you in and the characters feel real. You can picture them as yourself in the situation and really feel what they feel. You will laugh, want to cry, and silently beg for them to make things work and go their way! Make sure you have plenty of time to read when you open to the first page, because you will NOT WANT TO PUT IT DOWN!
