Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

Out of print in paperback and now available in hardcover for the first time, this romance recounts one night of fierce battle between Brin Cassidy and the husband she abandoned.
Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From AudioFile

This may look like a new novel, but it was first published in 1985. A reference to a (then) spectacular salary and an obsolete car model are the only glaring instances of datedness. This romance tells the story of the passion, marriage, and breakup of Jon Riley, a popular morning TV show host in San Francisco, and Brin Cassidy, his producer and wife. Throughout the back and forth of present and past, there is the usual romance device of the secret that will only be revealed at the end. Alison Fraser's narration is sensitive and evocative, although the sweetness of her voice is almost too much at times. Given that, she handles Jon's voice surprisingly well, and she wrings all the emotion out of the story.

This review is from: Riley in the Morning (Mass Market Paperback)

Readers know what to expect from Sandra Brown and she doesn't disappoint. Forty PLUS bestsellers are more than proof of her enduring popularity, as she continues to offer a melange of sex, love, wit, and entertainment.

Riley In The Morning delivers again with its story of TV producer Brin Cassidy, who is hosting an all important party honoring network president Abel Winn. So, who appears at her door? The caterers? No. The florist? No. Her irresistibly handsome estranged husband Jon Riley, host of television's "Riley In The Morning."

What a night that turns out to be!

This review is from: Riley in the Morning (Mass Market Paperback)

I listened to this book on tape. As other reviews below state, it is about Riley and Brin, a couple separated that talk about past events throughout the story to get to the root of why Brin left Riley. I would much rather have read the book because the woman that read the story was too sugary for me even in scenes where Brin was mad. 'OHhhhhhhhhh Riley! Give me a break. I won't listen to any more tapes narrarated by that lady Alison. She ruined the story for me.

This review is from: Riley in the Morning (Mass Market Paperback)

I rated "Riley in the Morning" a four simply because I was a bit disappointed with the ending. The premise of the book is that TV producer Brin Cassidy and her estranged husband Jon Riley who is the star of his own morning show (you guessed it) Riley in the Morning duke out the problems of their relationship. Sandra Brown's idea for the story is not new, but still fun to read. This is a fast paced book, and doesn't take long to read. In short, the conflict arises when Riley decides it would be the appropriate time to discuss the status of their relationship the night that Brin is hosting a dinner party for co-workers. The book then whirlwinds into a two day long extravaganza that will keep you rooting for the couple.
To be perfectly honest, I was expecting a little bit more from the ending. I wouldn't go so far as to say I felt cheated, but I definitely felt like this was worked up to be more than it was. I think that the last few chapters are predictable, though I really don't think it takes too much away from the read. Again it doesn't spoil the book.
I'm still happy to recommend this book for a read sometime, but I would not recommend it as the first Sandra Brown novel to read. This is not the best example of the author's talent. I would suggest starting off with Sandra Brown's "Exclusive" if you've never read her work before. It's a fantastic starting point! I'd suggest saving this one for later if you're not familiar with Ms. Brown's work. If you've been reading Sandra Brown already, then by all means, live it up. It's still really fun!

I enjoyed the book very much. It has been a while since I read the book so I have forgotten some of the details of the story. I do remember I liked the book very much. Read more

1.0�toiles sur 5 Audio book is terrible
The actress who read this book uses inappropriate tone of voice throughout -- most of the time she's sticky sweet, even when the characters are angry or frustrated. Read more

I really enjoyed this book. Flashbacks about what cause that fall of their marriage was excellent. Both characters were very likable. This is the best Sandra Brown ever.

Brin didn't summon much emotion in me. I felt she should have communicated better with her husband instead of just leaving him. Read more
