A rootless foster child, Julie Mathison had blossomed under the love showered upon her by her adoptive family. Now a lovely and vivacious young woman, she was a respected teacher in her small Texas town, and she passionately lived her ideals. Julie was determined to give back all the kindness she'd received; nothing and no one would ever shatter the perfect life she had fashioned.

Zachary Benedict was an actor/director whose Academy Award-winning career had been shattered when he was wrongly convicted of murdering his wife. After the tall, ruggedly handsome Zack escaped from a Texas prison, he abducted Julie and forced her to drive him to his Colorado mountain hideout. She was outraged, cautious, and unable to ignore the instincts that whispered of his innocence. He was cynical, wary, and increasingly attracted to her. Passion was about to capture them both in its fierce embrace...but the journey to trust, true commitment, and proving Zack's innocence was just beginning....

Romantizando o não-romantizável

Coloquei muito esforço para terminar essa leitura. Nem me lembre do perrengue que foi ler as 200 primeiras páginas, que relatam a juventude dos protagonistas de cabo a rabo.
Demora séculos para eles se encontrarem, e tudo se encontra na pior situação para construir um romance. Tudo me pareceu um tanto errado, tal qual o meu desejo era que a Julie ficasse com o outro interesse amoroso.
Por fim, não pretendo ler a aclamada Judith McNaught tão cedo. Quando estiver disposta novamente para tal, posso chutar uma árvore e encontrar bilhões de autoras com o mesmo estilo de romance (lento, muitas páginas, muitas reviravoltas): Carina Rissi, Elle Kennedy, Jennifer L Armentrout, SJM e por aí vai.
