Summary: Wow!
Review: I liked this book so much, I couldn't wait to get home from work to get back to it. The secondary characters as well as the main characters were well written. The storyline moved quickly. There were a few inconsistencies but overall, a definite keeper.

Summary: a superb read by Stuart
Review: Stuart never fails to mesmerize me, whether in big books or series romance. Her series works for Harlequin and Silhouette are as a wonderful treat as her longer works.

In Glass House, Billionaire corporate raider Michael Dubrovnik has bought all the old properties in the area in New York City to create a huge glass building with modern design. The only thing standing in his way is another building of glass, this one owned by Laura de Kelsey Winston. Unless her "house" comes down, his multi-million dollar project can fall to ruin, and Michael will never permit that to happen.

Laura loves her glass building, built with style and class of a period gone by. It needs a lot of work, and it will likely cost more money than she can swing, but she intends Glass House will survive - in spite of Michael's high powered pressure. When she refuses every offer he makes, and states she will never leave Glass House to be destroyed my Michael, he begins making her life a living hell. First, he moves into the building so he is there to constantly plague her. When seducing her doesn't work, he tries taking down the old buildings surrounding her, literally rattling the walls of the small glass building.

As their stormy battle of wills rage over the small building in the way of his project, they find their passion almost as strong as their determination. Michael discovers he is falling in love with Laura, but is not will to let love rule him, and nearly kills her in a bad construction accident. He must chose between his high money project and her love, and Laura must decide which is more important - hanging on to the past and its traditions, or losing the man she loves.

There is a nifty little mystery about Laura and everyone receiving blackmail attempts, which only serves to keep the lively story moving with a fast pace. Glass House is another in the long line of Stuart's backlist just waiting to be discovered.

Summary: Anne Stuart classic
Review: This was the first Anne Stuart book I ever read - but didn't realise I was reading an "Anne Stuart" at the time. After I read "A Rose At Midnight", I revisited "Glass Houses" and loved it. It's cheeky, it's passionate - there's a love/hate relationship between Laura and Michael that's just delightful. The two of them are so stubborn yet hopelessly attracted to one another. I could probably have done without the secondary love story (Laura's friend) - but it worked. Highly recommended! =)
