The Best Is Yet To Come (Silhouette Desire #643) (1991) - Plot & Excerpts
Kindle Version Has Two Stories in One BookA double feature consisting of THE BEST IS YET TO COME by Diana Palmer and MATERNITY BRIDE by Maureen Child.THE BEST IS YET TO COMEIvy Trent has loved Ryder Calaway for many years but has always known that they were impossible since an encounter years ago when Ryder accused her of trying to catch him. Despondent, Ivy married a high school friend and was miserable. Her husband was an alcoholic who abused her. Now a widow, Ryder has begun to come around again. Ivy also feels guilty because she blames herself for her husband's problems because she knows that she did not love him. This is a good story but it can drive a reader crazy because the story premise is built solely around two people who just need to sit down and have a talk. I liked Ivy and Ryder but the misunderstandings abound in this story. There is also a strange semi-virgin issue that seems strange and unnecessary to the story. This is not an unusual storyline for Diana Palmer so it didn't bother me that much, but I did mark this story down because of it. Rating: 3.5 stars.MATERNITY BRIDEDenise Torrance is an accountant who has tried to do everything right to gain the approval of her father. When she meets Mike Ryan who owns an motorcycle shop, has long hair and gives her neighbors fears that he might rob them, Denise knows that they are too opposite to have any real chance at a relationship. Mike has no intent to get involved with Denise because he doesn't want marriage. Yet the two cannot resist one another. A night of passion ends up with Denise pregnant (hence the title). A pregnancy does not resolve the differences between these two people and so they have to decide whether they have any future together. I bought this book because of the Diana Palmer story, but this one ended up being my favorite in the book. This is a classic opposites attract story. I liked that the potential pregnancy was the catalyst for these two to really think about what they want in life. The story is sweet and I liked how Denise breaks out of her shell to really live her life for herself. Rating: 4 stars.
