Summary: Left me wanting more...
Review: Well needless to say, I was disappointed in this book. It had a great plot, and I think could have been much better than what it was. In Halfway to Heaven, Helena and Michael's romance seemed so much more... loving? It was just hotter I guess. Maybe it was the illicitness that made it more romantic, it was just better in Halfway to Heaven.In Enchanted Afternoon, we finally see Michael and Helena come together after 8 years. Helena has been abused by her husband, senator Troy Barnes, and she wants a divorce, so she contacts Michael. He won't help her until he sees their son William, who he didn't know existed. Helena didn't want to win Michael through an unexpected pregnancy, so she never told him. Helena leaves her husband and settles at Moon Lake Lodge where she helps other woman who are in similar situations. This part of the story was really great. I definitely saw how Helena had matured, and how she was a dependable and caring woman. She not only tried to better herself, she tried to help other women become something. Unfortunately, Michael and Helena's relationship just wasn't as good. They were definitely in love, but it seemed too long for them to get there. The story dragged in the middle for me. And then, when they do finally come together and admit their love for each other, the story basically ends. There really isn't a conclusion. I think an epilogue would have made the ending more realistic and given it a definite conclusion. To me, it ended much too abruptly. I had been really looking forward to this book, and I was disappointed in some respects. In others, such as Helena's character, I was happily pleased. Unfortunately, Michael just didn't seem to gain the same maturity that Helena had. If you want to read Enchanted Afternoon, I would just rent it from the library or a friend. It just wasn't worth buying to me.
