Rating: Summary: They deserve each-other! Review: The book is very over-simplified and the main hero of the story is a jerk!He has left his wife, who still loves him, basically so he could seek greener pastures. When she becomes seriously ill, he just sort of pats her arm and looks forward to when she will die and not be a burden on his health insurance any more. His new object of desire is not much better - she spits venom at her college-age children for staying with their father in the town where they had grown up. It is way too convenient for the author that the wife dies and clears the way for our hero and heroine to get married, so they don't have to face up to how he ruined his first wife's life. Add to that a few totally unlikely scenes, like the woman's ex-husband groveling at her to take him back after a few years (that never happens) and the stupid near-death experience, and you have a pretty silly piece of work.
Rating: Summary: Makes Danielle Steele look like Shakespeare Review: This book was really lame. It is riddled with cliches and it is shorter then a young adult novel. Total waste of time. The Lifetime movie was much better, so you know how bad this really was.
Rating: Summary: one star is too kind Review: This novel had a very timely twist to it which made it a real page turner. It was much too short and I wanted to know more about some of the characters that were brought up such as Samantha -- what ever happened to her? Overall I enjoyed every page of the book and can't wait to read more of this author's works. This book was not cluttered with lots of characters and made for a quick and easy read!! Thoroughly enjoyable!

Rating: Summary: Not worth the time... Review: This was the first book I have read by Barbara Taylor Bradford and if this is any indication of her style of writing, I probably won't be reading another one. I thought the characters were one-dimensional, the dialog seemed unnatural and the language too simplistic. Even though it wasn't a very long book, I was upset that I wasted my time to read it. I definitely wouldn't recommend spending any money on this.
Rating: Summary: FIRST TIME READER Review: THIS WAS THE FIRST BOOK I HAVE READ OF MS.BARBARA'S. IN THE BEGINNING I COULDN'T PUT THE BOOK DOWN,BUT TOWARDS THE MIDDLE IT GOT A LITTLE DULL.I SORT OF LOST INTEREST,BUT IT GOT BETTER AT THE END. OVER ALL IT WAS A GOOD BOOK AND I PLAN ON READING MORE OF HER BOOKS.
