Synopsis

New York Times best-selling author Mary Jo Putney delights readers with lush historical romances like The Wild Child. In her first contemporary novel, she tells a searing story of family, love, and desire. Kate Corsi's lifelong dream has been to work for her family's world-famous explosive demolition business. Her stubborn father denied her this dream until he died. Now, his will has promised Kate a fortune-but only if she can live for a year in the same house with her ex-husband, Donovan. As Kate and Donovan form an uneasy alliance to learn the truth about her father's mysterious death, they must confront the wrenching secrets of a past that nearly destroyed them. And they must face the perils of moving too close to the burning point, where their passion could once again catch fire. Filled with compelling characters, The Burning Point solidifies Mary Jo Putney's position as one of today's great romantic writers. Jack Garrett's inflamed narration will leave listeners smoldering.

This book, because of its very controversial subject matter, caused quite a stir amongst readers but it only left with me a very "lukewarm" feeling. It is chock full of "issues" and overcoming and/or dealing with those issues and it really was not a satisfying romance for me . But the bigger problem......more

digamos que foi literalmente uma grande surpresa como a historia se desenrolou. á partida uma historia simples revestida de segundas oportunidades e um reencontrar do "eu" perdido algures no tempo. a historia desenvolve-se e eis que aparecem então os "fantasmas", as sombras e as duvidas inerentes a to......more
