Sara's Song FROM THE PUBLISHER
A brilliant career is enough for Dr. Sara Killian's aching heart. For a brief time, world-famous rock star Dallas Lord had been a part of her life. Then he was suddenly and tragically taken away leaving behind a beautiful song written just for Sara. And when she meets Adam Lord, Dallas's older brother, she will find herself--between Adam, the most attractive and complicated man she's ever known, and Dallas, the man her heart won't let her forget.
FROM THE CRITICS
Publishers Weekly
Dallas Lord, a 38-year-old rock star asks Sara Killian, M.D., 39, to marry him (perhaps for the wrong reasons), and as a gift, he writes her a song. Then, having supposedly died in a plane crash, Dallas chooses to drop out of sight in order to gain new perspective on his sense of his life and himself (he's tortured by undiagnosed dyslexia). In his absence, a bad-girl backup singer claims rights to the song and attempts to murder Sara. After a brief attraction to Adam Lord, Dallas's older brother/manager, Sara is left to flounder in a midlife crisis as the brothers reunite, neither willing to admit their feelings for her. There's plenty of potential hereromantic story line, dynamic conflictbut Michaels's (Vegas Heat) latest is weakened by a poorly represented locale, abrupt transitions and the hero's maudlin motivations. Michaels is aiming for the heartstrings here, but she manages to hit only a few chords. (Mar.)
Library Journal
Dr. Sara Killian has a brilliant career in the ER, but approaching middle age sets her biological clock to tolling. One evening while she is on duty, she meets the famous Dallas Lord, a rock star la Bruce Springsteen, when he brings in one of his band members who has succumbed to a heart attack on stage. Dallas is a very gifted musician, but he has believed from early childhood that he is "slow," even "retarded." His older brother, Adam Lord, is a shadowy figure who runs the business end of Dallas's career. Dallas and Sara are drawn to each other and, in a very short time, agree to marry for all the wrong reasons. He writes a special song for his fianc e, the Sara's Song of the title, and he up and dies! Or does he? This is a funny, tender, sweet romance, with well-drawn characters and an interesting, twisty plot. The listener is simply compelled to find out how the plot resolves itself and to determine which of the fascinating heroes winds up with Sara. There is something here for all romance lovers, whether you go for alpha males or the teddy bear type. Jennifer Wydra is a very good reader, and this is a fine choice for all audiobook collections. Highly recommended.--Barbara Perkins, Irving P.L., TX Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
