This is one of my most favorite books. Recently I got rid of my paperback copy and replaced it with the hardcover version.


From Publishers Weekly

In this romantic thriller, a female janitor cleaning a funeral home is abducted by a man she'd thought was dead.
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal

While cleaning a funeral home late one night, Summer McAfee is taken hostage when a nude male body leaps off a preparing table. Over the next few days, Summer and the badly beaten, left-for-dead Steve Calhoun struggle to elude the bad guys, which include the police. Summer moves from fearing for her life to finding the love of her life. Despite skillful plot twists, humor, and clever use of a guardian ghost (Deedee, Steve's former lover), the book has a serious flaw. Although Walking is billed as a romantic thriller, Steve's initially cruel and brutal treatment of Summer is alarming. Veteran writer Robards (Maggy's Child, LJ 1/94) should know better than to perpetuate the myth that women unconsciously want to be dominated and victimized. Not recommended, despite its other qualities.
