More Than a Man
For seven centuries Noah Fielding had kept his secret, switching identities, staying one step ahead of those who would exploit him. But a chance meeting with a woman on the run changed everything. Olivia Stapler made Noah feel emotions he'd thought long dead, made him yearn for a chance at real life. He knew taking Olivia back to his secret enclave as his wife would be dangerous. In fact, Noah had given his pursuers the perfect weapon. Using Olivia to get to him, they would stop at nothing to gain the secret of his longevity. Even if they had to harm the only woman he loved to get it….

About the author
Rebecca York
427 books452 followersRuth Glick (born 1942) is a best-selling author of healthy cookbooks and has also written dozens of romantic suspense romance novels under the pen name Rebecca York.
Ruth earned a B.A. in American Thought and Civilization from George Washington University and an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Maryland. Although she always wanted to become a writer, Glick was convinced that her lack of spelling skills meant that her goal was unattainable. As a stay-at-home mother, she took a community college course to help her choose a career. The course made it very clear that writing was her primary interest. Glick began writing articles for newspapers and magazines, but after several years decided to try writing fiction. Her first book, a kids' science fiction book, was finally purchased by Scholastic Inc..
Since then, Glick has become a highly successful author of over 50 romantic suspense and paranormal novels. Many of her novels are published under the Harlequin Intrigue line, and in June 2003, she became one of the first authors published under Berkley's new Sensation imprint. Before 1997, she often collaborated with Eileen Buckholtz and Kathryn Jenson.
Glick also is a highly regarded author of cookbooks focusing on healthy eating. She sometimes hires trained chefs to test the recipes that she creates, and makes sure that every recipe is tested at least three times before it appears in one of her cookbooks.
Glick is the head of the Columbia Writers Workshop. She and her husband, Norman Glick, live in Columbia, Maryland, where Ruth collects rocks, and enjoys cooking, walking, reading, gardening, travel, and Mozart operas. They have two grown children, Elissa and Ethan, and two grandsons (Jesse and Leo).

Blah. One of the blandest, uneventful, and boring HQ Intrigues I've read.
The premise was great, but sadly lacking in the execution. The plot was slow and rather hole-y, the romance was rushed and without feeling, the characters one-dimensional, the danger, villains and their motivation utterly out there and completely unbelievable, and even the action scenes were snore-worthy at best.
A truly sad excuse for a story.

Well, normally I enjoy the Intrigue line but have to say this one did not live up to the suspense. It's one of the few that I didn't care for.

Noah Fielding was more than a man. He was a man with a secret. He was born in the 14th century and was still alive. How is this possible? He was a man that could not die. People and scientists all over the world sunk loads of money into researh. One man in particular because he was dying of a rare disease and he discovered Noah's secret, therefore tried everything in his power to capture him to study and hopefully find a cure. Noah has been through almost every thing possible to man that would normally kill a normal person, such as cutting off his ownhand and realizing it would grow back on it's own, set on fire, nothing would stop this man. He met a woman in trouble and married her within a few days, in order to protect her and keep her safe. Hiding his secret from her in fear that she would not love him if she knew the truth about him and his secret. Also, in fear of the outcome of falling in love with someone and having to watch them grow older and finally death come to thiem while he stayed the same age. Throughout this story both Noah and his new wife have been put in many dangerous situations. Do they survive. Do they find the cure for the disease? Do they find the answers to longevity? Do they die? I guess you will have to read it and find out. Overall, it was a good book to read.

This synopsis for this book showed potential - a man who lives a long time and can't die - this theme always interests me but this story line didn't do it for me. I think it had too many holes in the storyline and seemed like it it was rushed with not a lot of thought put into it. Too much was happening to dear old Noah Fielding and his lady Oliver Stapler

I had to give up this book after 30 pages. Just couldn't get into it and really didn't care about the characters. Wasn't even interested enough to keep reading to find out why Noah couldn't die. I love this authors other books, but was disappointed with this one.

It was ok. It was based on a highlander sort of character, a man who cannot die. It was very hard to push through the start, the middle picked up drastically and the ending was, eh, predictable. I like this series, and I liked Noah as a character. I just didn't like Olivia.

OMG! I just finished this book and WOW! I cannot believe it! I just can't wait to get my hands on the other 31 books in the series.. not to mention her other books!

Great start, but then the story was told and not shown so that the intensity was missing even though the story line called for it.

Almost so bad it was good, but ultimately so bad it was bad. Moments of unintentional hilarity were what kept me going, but I don't think this author/her writing style is for me.
