Summary: The audio version is not so good.
Review: I've always been a loyal fan of LH. "Sarah's child" is a good one but the audio version is not a plus of it. DO NOT BUY THE AUDIO CASSETTES!

Summary: A must read!!
Review: If your are looking a strong woman and strong man this is your story. Nora makes you feel her characters pain, joy and love. Sarah and Rome become more than characters on a page in a book, they become people you want, no need to be involved in thier lives.This love story is so compelling that you can't put it down. I have been a fan ever since.

Summary: Sarah's patience amazes me!
Review: In the real world a woman would give Rome a kick in ****. The man doesn't make an effort to change until he is forced into a situation. He says he loves her, but then again I didn't see love, only a whole lot of lust. And if my husband lusted after a woman when he was married to me, it would be just as bad as adultery. Sorry Linda Howard but women shouldn't be treated as doormats, especially in books. It happens often enough in the real world.

Summary: It was great!!
Review: I've read almost all of Linda howard's books and this one is definitely among the top ones in my collection. Although Sara is a very delicate and gentle woman, her inner strength is revealed in the way that she could love a man for a major part of her life knowing that he is unavailable. Even greater obstacles are put in her way throughout the book, but she never wavers from her undying love for him because she understands that he needs understanding more than anything (due to tragedies in his life). This book definitely is a MUST read for all Linda Howard fans. It shows how a woman can be shy, gentle, delicate at the same time, showing an inner strength that's admirable and coveted. I've reread this book atleast three times since i got it. I can't wait to read its sequel, "Almost Forever."

Summary: Miracles from Love
Review: Wonderfully writen. Sarah's friendship with Rome is the type of story one can read about and believe every single word. Overcoming the pain of losing loved ones and the miracle of a second chance makes this book one of the best ones. Sarah's patience and love for Rome is the type of love that should be treassured. For most part of the story, I hated Rome for not loving Sarah like she deserved to be loved, but I also understood his pain and his reluctance for not being hurt again. The ending just confirms that we all deserve a second chance and more if needed in this life.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This is one of Linda Howard's earlier books and is so riviting that one cannot put it down. It has been reprinted before and I am sure it will be again. We see some of the same characters in a follow up book, "Almost Forever" and in a short story, "Bluebird Winter" from Silhouette's 1987 Christmas Stories. I have re-read these books so many times that I have lost count. "Sarah's Child" gives us an insight into human emotions in a way that only Ms. Howard can do. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Also recommend "White Lies"
Review: Forgot to add "White Lies" to my list of Linda Howard recommendations. It also has very unusual storyline, strong emotions and explosive love scenes. Whew!

Summary: If you love heart-wrenching, sexual and unique love stories-
Review: I dare anyone to read "Sarah's Child" and not fall in love with Linda Howard. I have read thousands of romance authors from every genre and none manage to combine the realistic emotions with realistic sexuality the way Linda Howard does. Her male characters are very masculine, intelligent, a little jaded, and each one is distinctive. Her female characters warm your heart with their real-life dilemmas. They have a feminine strength of mind and endure heart-wrenching traumas. Traumas that are original (originality is hard to come across in romance books). Her books are not filled with beautiful scenery and sexual euphemisms. The unforgettable couple, their earthy encounters, and their heart-wrenching emotions are all I remember. Rome is hard-edged and powerful with strong sexual needs. He thinks Sarah is a cool blond. She is his wife's best friend even though they are opposites in every way. Sarah's coolness actually is a shield to hide her shyness and insecurity. She met Rome at work and it was love at first sight. She takes her best friend, Diane, to the company picnic and Rome and Diane fall in love. They marry and proceed to have two adorable, rambuncous boys who Sarah loves as well. Diane and the boys are involved in a fatal accident. Their deaths leave Rome emotionally scarred. He'll never allow himself to love again and cannot bear to be around children. All Sarah ever wanted was a secure home life with a husband and kids. When Rome married Diane she resigned herself to becoming a career woman. Before meeting Rome, the outgoing and confident Diane always swore to have a grand career and never marry. The reversal of their dreams when they meet Rome is ironic. Rome has always found Sarah's coolness to him intriguing, even during his marraige. He always wants to find out what is underneath the cool, calm surface of her personality. A year after his family's death, he finally decides to pack up their belongings and asks Sarah if she wants to come by and see what she would like to keep before he gives it all away. He and Sarah have a sexually explosive encounter that makes him realize he'd like to have a real relationship again instead of the one-night-stands he has been punishing himself with. He's frank with Sarah and tells her he'll never love again but he'll be faithful. He also tells her he'll never father another child, so if she wants children to tell him and he'll get out of her life. She accepts the small part of himself he gives her and quietly sets about the business of loving him. How Sarah, with her calm serenity changes his heart, along with the help of a little bundle he refuses to acknowledge, is a story that rips your heart out and returns it with soul-shattering intensity. I also recommend you read, "The Cutting Edge", "Loving Evangeline", "Duncan's Bride", "MacKenzie's Mountain". All of these have the same emotional intensity. I periodically read them over again to remind myself what quality romance writing is all about.
