Summary: hey! I liked it
Review: I enjoyed the short story 'double exposure' and looked forward to this book to get a further look at the Fosters. I really liked the way both stories started with Corey and Diana's teen years. Bittersweet,unrequited love that becomes fulfilled years later is a really neat premise. I often think of my high school infatuation and wonder, what if? I also loved the way Judith got them together. Those two people would not have gotten together otherwise, and what a shame that would have been. My only complaint is I wish it had been longer. Oh, and how about a sequel for Mary Foster?

Summary: Something Wonderful "Remember When" Is Not!
Review: Shame on the publisher for letting this go to press! Is this the best that McNaught can produce after several years? Readers willing to invest the money in books deserve the highest quality from a writer. This book was mediocre at best and failed abysmally to evoke any emotions toward Diana and Cole. Their young years took up a major portion of the book--who cares? when it isn't evident that Cole reciprocates Diana's feelings then

Summary: Not McNaught's best...not even mediocre!
Review: This was not a romance. It was too much detail about the secondary characters. She wrote so much about everyone that you did not have time to really like any of them, especially Diana and Cole. Everything worked out too easily for them. It was not like Perfect or Whitney, My Love! It was not worth purchasing the hardcover. I will be more cautious the next time

Summary: Didn't meet my expectations.
Review: Since reading "Until You", I have been waiting to be as entranced and excited. I was thrilled to finally pick up her new book. I thought the book took a long time to get to the point and then didn't have enough time to make it. Judith McNaught is known for her great romance writing and didn't use this talent to it's full potential this time around.

Summary: Disappointing Mcnaught 's fan!
Review: This book contains too much about the childhood of the main characters, which to my opinion should not take up more than half of the book. The reason that brings Diana and Cole to marry each other is a nice plot but the story made it too easy for two people who start their life together in an unusual way , to stay together at the end without the struggling. This story is lack of charm that Mcnaught used to tell and I am kind of disappointing.

Summary: An Average McNaught Read
Review: In this story featuring Diana Foster,the story was slow to pick up its pace.The focus was more on the business dealings than on the relationship between the Diana and Cole.This story lacks that special McNaught's touch--emotional intensity.Although the contents drift a little away from the topic "Romamce" , it is still worth a read.Perhaps this negative view is because I expected more from McNaught.It is my hope that her next book will be better.

Summary: A fun leisurely novel!
Review: I have forgotten how wonderful Judith McNaught's novels can be ~~ she has a way of getting her readers involved in her books so that they can't help but finish the book in one day. She has the same magic with this book as well.

This one, I could have sworn that I have read a long time ago ~~ only to discover that I haven't and it made the reading even more pleasurable. This one is about a rich and pampered young girl, Diana, who knows nothing about want and poverty. She meets Cole, her friend's stablehand, who is ambitious and hungry. Their friendship was unique enough that they never have forgotten each other through the years. When Diana finds herself jilted at the eve of the Orchid Ball ~~ the one event that Houston prides itself on having every year for charity ~~ Cole sweeps in for the rescue and becomes her knight in shining armor.

Yes, sometimes, the novel is unbelievable ~~ but who cares? When I read McNaught's books, I read to escape from my reality of changing diapers and chasing kids all day long. She does a great job of stirring the imagination that when I finished reading the book, I was all relaxed again and able to enjoy life as a busy housewife. She writes about the magic of falling in love. And it does help that falling in love in such glamourous settings, it alleviates the winter boredom that is in this household! It's a perfect beach read or snuggling up next to the fireplace ~~ this book is guaranteed to carry the reader away for a few hours.
