Was a little more upset this time reading it, that they lost all those years together, I think I just had time to think about it more. But Matt And Meredith are a great H/H and I love their story.. LL_4 | Feb 18, 2008 | excellently paced and emotionally involved love story; all the perfect elements of betrayal, family dynasty, class mobility and heartwrenching love. a great read (  ) blingtastic | Dec 4, 2007 | Meredith Bancroft's life, from her practically loveless childhood to her adult struggle to gain the presidency of her family's company, the Bancroft department stores. She has to struggle against her father's sexist attitude, and against his displeasure after she becomes pregnant out of wedlock. That happens when, in an act of rebellion, she befriends Matt Farrell, a man from a lower class who is getting snubbed at their country club. They find they have a powerful attraction for each other, an attraction that finds many obstacles to thwart it but that keeps bringing them together. This long romance is a good read but be prepared to give it some time, or just skip over parts of it to the good stuff. (  ) debs4jc | Aug 1, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Corporate raider Matthew Farrell had come a long way from the poor, scruffy kid of Indiana's steel mills. A long way from the country club where, feeling like an outsider, he had dared to fall in love with a beautiful blonde named Meredith Bancroft, and known a once-in-a-lifetime passion and betrayal that still haunted his memory...Now world leaders courted him, the media watched his every move, and he was ready to move in on the Bancroft empire.
A cool, poised executive in her family's legendary department store chain, Meredith had once defied her father for the sexually magnetic, intense Matt Farrell -- and their brief, ill-fated marriage was the disastrous outcome. Now, as the Bancroft firm is threatened by a hostile takeover, Meredith is forced to confront Matt. As tensions build between them, bittersweet memories rise to the surface, leaving them suspicious, restless, and uncertain. Will they be able to believe in each other -- and grasp the tender miracle that is before them?
