Thorne's Wife

Thorne's Wife by Joan Hohl Silhouette Special Edition # 537 - July 1989 It's been three years since Jonas married Valerie. Their marriage has been turbulent and filled with over whelming passion. Jonas is still the workaholic genius. Val though is no longer the young woman who needed to be taken care of when they first married. With Jonas' love she's found her confidence again. Jonas loves Val to distraction but he's confused with the changes he sees in her. Slowly it seems their marriage is drifting apart, as Val learns to stretch her wings. Val wants more than anything to be Jonas' true equal and partner, not just the wife that takes care of all his needs. She needs for Jonas to trust her with all his life. And just as Jonas realizes how confining he has made Val's life, tragedy almost tears them apart. I loved reading more about Valerie and Jonas. Jonas is still the arrogant and determined hero though this time he goes on a journey of discovery. Valerie is no longer the uncertain young woman Jonas married. She's found her inner strength and now only needs Jonas to validate that. I loved the sparks between these two. Great chemistry. And some pretty hot love scenes. Another one for the keeper shelf! :D This is the sequel to Ms Hohl's early Desire, Thorne's Way ... I highly recommend you read that book first ... both are keepers!

Three years after being married Valerie is trying to find herself as an individual. She finally gets Jonas attention in San Francisco. They finally are a happy couple when tragedy hits them again. Jonas is missing and Valerie has a great secret to tell him, but is afraid he'll never know. A must read. Please continue this series.
