Summary: Frustrating at Times, But Truly Enjoyable
Review: I loved this book, even after finding myself becoming somewhat frustrated with it's heroine, Perri. Her reasons for withholding information from the hero, Beau, were much too weak for me. Thank goodness he was so persistent in his pursuit of her, for any normal man would have thrown in the towel on this relationship. One has to wonder why after so many years these two people, supposedly deeply in love, never bothered to find out what happened to end their union. They pretty much could have simply picked up a phone if they really wanted to know. And if you're as in love as these two professed to be, why not do just that? Even after they found each other the truth took it's own sweet time coming out, with each of the two lovers not having enough trust in the other to really explore the breakup. I know trust is the theme of the book, and the lack of it resulted in years of sadness, loneliness, hurt and unnecessary suffering. All of which could have been avoided had Beau and Perri trusted each other enough to confide in one another.

This is the story of two people who virtually grew up together, later realizing they were in love. They married young, only to be torn apart by a deceitful, overbearing grandfather, who gives one reason for destroying the marriage throughout the book, but confesses to another when he is exposed. These two people's paths eventually cross again when Beau, a professional golfer, hires Perri, his ex wife as a caddy. Working so closely together starts the old sparks flying again, and a love is rekindled. At least they want it to be, but one has a hard time admitting it to the other. There's also someone in the picture who is out to get Beau, be it through Perri if necessary.

Despite a few flaws I really loved the book. I had a very hard time putting it down. I really mean that. Perri was sort of frustrating at times, mainly because she refused to let Beau in on some vitally important information of which she had no right to keep from him. After they found each other again there really was no reason, in my opinion, for her not to inform him of the truth. Nonetheless, I still fell in love with the book, and would highly recommend it. In fact, Dar Tomlinson has become one of my favorite romance novelist. I plan to search for more of her work.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Skip this one.
Review: It was a little interesting reading about the golf circuit but it was way too long and boring.
If a book is going to be long it should not be boring.
