Summary: Deirdre Savoy Has Done It Again!!!!
Review: After completing Once and Again, I said to myself, Dee Savoy just keeps on elevating to another level. This is Dee Savoy's third book, having now read all three, each has its own characteristics and being unique in its own special way.I strongly recommend to everyone who enjoys the romance novels to read this book. Great character development, the romance is the heart of this story, it has a lot of passion and you feel the real-lifeness of how the author pulls you into the story. This is one of those books, you just find great difficulty in putting it down, as though you may miss something. It's what we call An All-Nighter type book, one that you can't help but fall in love with both the hero and the heroine. For some of you who read Dee Savoy's last book, Always, will recognize some of the key players in this book. You get the chance to see Nathan Ward, Daphne Thorne (Michael Thorne's sister) and Jenny. You meet some new characters like Bradley and Sherry. You feel the love of baby Emily and you'll understand the sacrifice of motherly love that Monica leaves. In summarizing this book, I say it was one awesome story that I actually hated to see it end on page 300. Yeah, folks 300 pages worth of great reading, the kind of story that makes you say, THAT WAS ONE GOOD BOOK!!!! I met Dee Savoy last year and was very impressed with her loving spirit, saw her again this year and that same spirit still shining with the smile she gives us on the back of her bookcovers. You did outstanding with this book Dee and as usual I look forward to the next DEE SAVOY book that most likely will keep us up ALL NIGHT LONG! Check out Dee Savoy's other published books: Spellbound and Always.

Summary: Very Good Book
Review: Award winning author Dee Savoy has done it again with her latest book. We were first introduced to Nathan Ward in her last book "Always," where he finds out he is about to become a father. And not one to not take care of his responsibilities, he plans to marry for the baby. The book opens up with Nathan waiting for the bride to arrive, he is shocked but overjoyed when he receives the note stating that she is not coming. When he announces to the guest that there will not be a wedding he is shocked again to see his old girlfriend, Daphne Thorne in attendace. Daphne is the sister of his best friend Michael whose story is the book "Always." Nathan is determined to have Daphne back in his life. So he seeks her help by asking to rent out her downstairs apartment. It is not long before their attraction is rekindled. Nathan and Daphne have to let go of the past to move on to a passionate and loving future. This is another excellant story by the author. It is written at a pace where the reader will not lose interest but quickly turn pages to see what will happen next. I recommend this and all of Dee's books to all romance readers. Although this is only her third book, I consider her a veteran in the romance writing field. And it looks like she will be around for a long time. Keep up the good work Deirdre. I can't wait to read Nathan's sister story.

Summary: Congratulations Dee!
Review: Daphne Thorne and Nathan Ward were first seen in the book Always which is Ms. Savoy second novel. Nathan and Daphne have a past, one that Daphne Thorne would like to forget. As Once and Again opens, Nathan is getting married to his precious baby girl's (Emily) mother Monica. Daphne takes a seat in the back hoping not to be spotted by Nathan. Nathan receives a note from Monica stating she just can't marry him. Nathan is really relieved by this situation and at that moment vows to get his life together and stop living so carefree. He now has his daughter Emily to think about. Nathan then decides to ask Daphne to allow him to rent her basement apartment to him and his infant daughter. Daphne wonders what his motives are because Nathan is a famous singer with lots of money. This man could live anywhere, why here? She asks herself. Well, Daphne requests an enormous sum of month for renting the apartment. She felt that way she could get rid of him quick, but he agrees with no problem. Daphne would then try to stay away from the smooth talking Nathan Ward and try to guard her heart. She didn't want him to break it a second time. Nathan on the other hand had other ideas for Ms. Thorne. Nathan has always loved Daphne even in her teen years. He now wants to show her that he is not the man he used to be and that she is the only woman for him. To get a better understanding of the conclusions drawn of Mr. Ward's character read Always first before Once and Again. Ms. Savoy is only been a published romance author for a couple of years. Every novel she presents has been great! My favorite story is Spellbound. Good job Dee!

Summary: Second time around is definitely a charm!
Review: Nathan and Daphne's story is wonderful! I loved Nathan's character -- a loving father as well as a caring and giving individual. Nathan is a single parent gb caring for his infant daughter, Emily. However, he has love to spare - especially for his earlier love, Daphne Thorne. Daphne is an independent woman, who wants to make it on her own. Nathan comes back into her structured life and things become unsettled. Daphne still has deep feelings for Nathan, but tries unsuccessful to hide those feelings. Unfortunately, love cannot stay buried, it will eventfully surface. In "Once and Again" Nathan and Daphne are given another chance at reviving their love. They are irresistable to each other and their lives are entangled 'once and again'.

Summary: Can she let him into her heart again
Review: Nathan Ward is left at the alter and decides it's a perfect time to try and get his old girlfriend back, after letting 15 years pass. I will admit the book lost me, and I almost did not finish it. Then it picked up and I read the book until the very end. It turns out to be a sweet story that tugs at your heart.

Summary: Shades Of Romance Magazine Book Of Month (May)
Review: Nathan Ward was stood up at the altar by a woman he really didn't love and truly didn't want to marry. She was simply the mother of his child. Relieved that he was stood up; Nathan addressed the crowded church. As her surveyed the audience he spotted a former girlfriend, Daphne Thorne, and the current was instant the moment their eyes locked. For Nathan, old feelings returned as if they were yesterday. He couldn't explain why he felt the way he did but he knew that he wanted the chance to try to see if the magic between them could re-ignite. Daphne Thorne couldn't believe her feelings for Nathan still existed. It had been years since she had seen her high school boyfriend or "crush" would be more like it. But when Daphne finds him in her apartment waiting for her shortly after his disastrous "non-wedding", she knows she is in deep trouble. Unable to say no, Daphne agrees to let Nathan rent her vacant apartment; and her emotions and life begin to spiral out of seemingly control. She has always had a crush on her brother's best friend, Nathan. She was devastated when he dropped her and began to see someone else. Daphne vowed never to let him or any man hurt her like that again. With her wall of protections seemingly in place, Daphne is not prepared for the cracks in her wall that Nathan penetrates. Nathan is a single parent with an infant daughter to take care of and a need to "hide out" for a while. Because he is very wealthy, Daphne knows that he doesn't need to rent her vacant apartment; he could live anywhere else with all of his money. But, Daphne needs the money to save her business. Nathan, however, has a plan of his own and that includes winning Daphne's trust and her heart. Daphne tries desperately to stay clear of Nathan and to not fall for him again. But one look at the tender care he takes of his baby daughter and he captured her heart once again. But Daphne is fighting her heart and fighting to hang on to her business. Unwilling to seek help and trying to do everything on her own; Daphne has to learn to trust her heart and to trust a man who has already broken it once before. This is a story about forgiving, moving on, letting go of the past and trusting in the present to bring joy for the future. Deirdre Savoy does a wonderful job of creating characters that warm your heart. Her vivid descriptions of Nathan and his interactions with his baby daughter are captivating. She presents a picture of a dedicated and loving father, which is refreshing. Ms. Savoy is able to describe the scenes in her book with such clarity and the emotion of her characters with such depth that the reader feels the intensity of the emotions that the characters exhibits. This is a fabulous example of an award-winning author at work

Summary: A Definite Page Turner
Review: Once & Again kept you coming back for more. This was my first time reading any of Deirdre's books and I was so impressed that I went out and purchased Spellbound so that I could become even more familiar with the characters for her next book. This was a change in story lines to have a character like Nathan to be left at the altar only to have the opportunity to get back together with Daphne, who had been his soul mate in previous years. On top of that Nathan has a baby daughter, Emily, who is so adorable that Daphne could not resist her nor her daddy. A love story a every aspect of the word. I met Deirdre at the Romance Slam Jam in March
