Where to begin with this novel? Well, the plot had a good idea behind it. However, the author chose a different path. In my opinion, the characters were downright awful. Sarah is a pathetic human being that spends her days pining over her best friend's husband, who she happens to work with. The husband, Roman, is an egotistical jerk. He claims to be in mourning, even after the two-year anniversary of his wife's and sons' deaths. However, he admits to Sarah that he has slept with numerous women starting two months after his wife's death. The novel drags on with a very predictable ending. ( )

This is a guilty favorite of mine. I feel like I'm not supposed to like it but I do. I enjoyed the fact that the hero never decides he didn't love his first wife as so often happens in romances where a widower remarries. I liked all the angst. Even though the heroine seems to be doormatish I think really she's just so determined to have him that she lets nothing stand in her way which is not quite the same thing. I just enjoy stories where a hero has been so wounded that they don't seem to really be complete and watch them come back to life with the heroine. So if you're not afraid of sappy, give it a try.

I was very touched by this story of Rome and Sarah and unrequited love, particularly for Sarah. As usual, Linda Howard weaves a powerful story, though in this book the setting is very domestic - no adventure or thrills. ( )

Great read. I enjoyed the nice jumble of characters and the time passing, I also like that she let him feel his loss in a very real way, and that the baby simply being born didn't resolve everything... It felt real and raw.. It was excellent, and if there wasn't a type writer, I won't have felt like it was a book written in 1987!!!

It was the end of a long week, and Sarah knew that she should go home, but just the thought of facing the broiling late August heat was enough to keep her sitting in her chair with the air-conditioning humming pleasantly overhead.
