Long Time Coming (G.K. Hall Large Print)

Rating:
Summary: Not so long in coming
Review: As an avid Sandra Brown fan, I will first say of course I loved this book. But however, it is not one of her best. I struggled with the fact that Law comes into the life of David with no real regard to the woman that had been his mother for 16yrs. How like an irresponsible dad to just sail in and take over when it happens to be convenient. But like all romances there is a happy ending. Don't let this be your first Sandra Brown or it may be your last.

Summary: A Long Time Coming
Review: Excellent book! I have been a fan of Sandra Browns for many years, and have bought most of her books. However, this one is a true keeper! I read the book within one day, I couldn't put it down! It was exciting and never left a dull moment. It is just like Sandra Brown to continue to write such awesome and real life stories. I loved it!

Summary: Fun snack for romance fans.
Review: For me, this is what Sandra Brown does best - a quick, fun contemporary romance. The story is sweet, the characters are engaging and the plot focuses almost exclusively on the relationship between the lead characters. I think an astronaut makes the perfect contemporary hero. This is a great one-sitting read.

Summary: I like to re-read this book.
Review: I enjoyed this book very much when I first read it the first time BUT I find I enjoy re-reading it even more. I really like "David" and the way he relates with both Marnie and Law.

Summary: Not her best
Review: I just saw this book at the library and picked it up. Sandra Brown is one of my favorite authors, but this book lacked her usual character developments. Though I admit that it was a nice storyline, it wasn't as well-written as some of her other books. I especially liked the character of David; he seemed really mature and understanding. I didn't really understand how Law could fall for Mariene. She seemed to cry and run away too much. However, for a quick and fun read, I recommend this book.

Summary: Exemplifies the very best of the series romance genre
Review: I read this book when it was first issued, have read it periodically through the years, and just seeing the title evokes for me all the emotions I felt the very first time. In other words, it's a keeper. It exemplifies series romance at its best, and showcases Ms. Brown at the top of her game. An emotionally honest and refreshing story, it undoubtedly broke new ground in the genre with flawed but sympathetic lead characters. Typical of a Sandra Brown book, the love scenes are highly sensual, even raw, but not gratuitously so. They make sense given the inevitable clash of the hero's celebrity-driven ego and the heroine's repressed emotions. A super-fast read, the ending is exceptionally satisfying in intensity and length, unlike many books today that seem to want to wrap everything up in one and a half pages, and leave you yearning for more. Kudos to a wonderfully written, timeless reissue.

Summary: Not overly thrilled.
Review: Sandra Brown is one of my favorite authors. I'm sure the fact that this book is 20 years old explains some of the problems I had with it. I found Law arrogant, self-centered & thoughtless. He took over David's life without consulting Marnie on anything. He ignored the fact that she had spent 16 years being a wonderful mother to David and because of Law's lack of compassion he hurt her repeatedly & deeply. He also had a lot of nerve saying his lifestyle was "normal" when in fact, even though I am a liberal person, I thought it largely immoral & careless.
I found it unrealistic that everything turned a 180 in the last few pages & that Marnie forgave him, without hesitation, for all the pain he caused her. But as I said Sandra Brown is a favorite & one fair book doesn't change that.
