Product Description

On a day that begins like any other, a violent earthquake strikes Los Angeles, plunging the region into chaos. Two strangers, trapped in a collapsed shopping mall, find each other amid the rubble and join forces to escape. Hampered by injury and darkness, they dig and claw their way through one crumbled store after another, emerging long after most have given up hope for survivors.

The ordeal leaves both women shaken, but their shared triumph sets them on a life-changing course together, igniting a connection like neither has ever known.

Anna Kaklis--whose perfectly planned life never included falling in love with another woman--is thrown for a loop, but she doesn't doubt her heart.

Lily Stewart--abandoned too many times by people she trusted--won't let herself believe that Anna's love will endure.

Without Warning is the story of their courageous journey through adversity, and their promise of steadfast love.

Customer Reviews

An excellent re-telling for the beginning of this series
I'm a big fan of this author's. Upon reading the foreword for this book, all about how she went back and fleshed out the online version of this story I read years ago, I couldn't wait to read the new version. I was not disappointed. My only quibble would probably be that she often ends her books too quickly for me. We get all this build-up throughout the book laying the foundation for the characters to get together, but then we don't get any time with them as a couple, really. However, that's especially minor here, since we know that there are subsequent books waiting in the wings.

KG really takes her time in this book, establishing the characters, their family and friends. She does an excellent job of creating "real" people. They are human, with faults. They make mistakes, but they also have triumphs.

Anna's and Lily's first meeting in the earthquake is quite dramatic, and sets a good stage. I love their humor and banter from the start. I really enjoyed following Anna on her journey through re-examining her marriage, then her life in a different context. It was nice to have her sister Kim there as a foil, pointing out observations of her own, and supporting Anna as she figures things out.

Lily was great as well, as she tries to protect herself and her heart despite her inability to resist just being with Anna. Her friends and family provide a good support system as well, something I really like to have in books.

Well-written. Well-edited. Delightfully fleshed out from the old original version. I can't wait for the sequel.

AWESOME READ
This is a GREAT book to read! I have read all KG MacGregor books and this is definitely at the top of the list! I read this book in a total of 4 hours! I could not put the book down and you will not be able to either! I never got to read the original "Shaken" so I have nothing to compare this book to, but I can say I can't wait for the next book!

Well worth the read!!!
This is a completely rewritten, updated, and expanded version of KG's first book "Shaken". She's done a masterful job with retelling this tale and leaving the reader wanting more. I loved it so much and became so engrossed in the lives of these wonderful characters that I read the entire book in one sitting. Once you start, you won't want to put it down. KG has promised us a sequel, and I for one am waiting with baited breath until it is released!
