I enjoyed this. Quite liked Junior and Griff - very strong, interesting characters.I felt the whole medical condition thing was a great starting point for getting the couple together, but felt it was lost later on in the romance. They never did have a discussion about what would happen if they ...
3.5 starsTwo lovers who had to be separated for more than a decades because of a thread...Years later they are forced to face each other... Would the love be still there?I liked this book.

As Claudia let her fingertips trail down the side of his face, he inhaled the faint scent of her perfume, some trace left on her wrist. He’d always loved her perfume, one he’d never detected on any other woman. It was deep and rich and spicy, not at all girlish, more pine and moss than flowers. S...
Lark was speaking in a deadly calm voice, but his face had gone beet red above his stiff starched linen shirt. Next to him, Deirdre King, the photographer, shot nervous glances from him to Mandy to Sylvie to Tad. Deirdre’s two assistants, a terribly thin man and woman dressed in black from head t...

It wasn't enough that a perfect stranger had forced her into a lunch where the whole town would be watching—or that the same man was triggering feelings in her that she wanted to keep firmly buried. But now she was going to have to deal with her father's widow and the latest of t...
Regina snuck a quick glance at him. It was hard to see much in the dark, but she could tell he was frowning. "Is Mason another old boyfriend? Before Carl?""No. Mason was... a client.""You dated a client?""No! I would never... He was only twenty. He was one of my first clients. I was so sure... I ...

He glanced over at her from time to time while he drove, slowly because the rain was still coming down, but for her part she seemed to be trying hard to pretend he d...
She had gathered the clothespins back into the box and placed the lid on top. Now she was carefully making the bed like a devoted housewife. No one would ever guess what had taken place on it. Except for the smell of sex, of desire, that pervaded the room. It smelled like she tasted—both earthy a...
“Budweiser,” she’d said, blushing, after checking around her to make sure no one could hear.
