Summary: The very best Sandra Heath book ever!
Review: This was the first book by Sandra Heath that I ever read, and it really knocked my socks off! Everything rang true from Summer's depression over the loss of her lover, to her coping with a serious case of diabetes. But the best part, of course, was when she was able to travel back in time and live another woman's life. It was magical! And something all of us have fantasized about at one time or another. :)
If you are only able to read one book by this terrific author, make it Summer's Secret. You WON'T be disappointed!

Summary: Decisions, decisions!
Review: Trust Sandra Heath to find yet another way to incorporate her three fictional loves -- Regency, paranormal, and super-sensual -- into one terrific read! SUMMER'S SECRET is a trip to the past through hypnotic regression -- hip, funny, delightful. And sexy. Six months after the accidental death of her lover, a bout with pneumonia, and being diagnosed with diabetes, Summer Stanway of Massachusetts, visits her only close relative, her sister Chrissie, who lives in England. Chrissie's husband Andrew is a hypno-therapist, and, thinking to humor the recuperating Summer, he agrees to try hypnosis. Summer finds herself in 1807 as Olivia Courtenay, a young widow, meeting a friend of her former husband at the Black Lion Inn at Tetbury. She is energized with good health and exhilaration, especially after a late-arriving gentleman climbs down from his obviously expensive carriage. He is the very image of her late lover, Jack. But just then, Andrew brings her back to the present. Arrgghh! After begging for one more attempt later that night, Summer places a tape recorder under the sofa, and later, in the middle of the night, tries Andrew's methods for herself. Two hours of mad, passionate love with the mysterious Brand convince Summer she must journey again and again to the past, where she finds family and and mystery, too. But when the batteries go dead in the tape recorder, Summer is flung into a coma, and begins to do some serious thinking. One more trip to the past helps her decide the path she must take. I'd probably do the same, and I'll bet you would, too.
