4.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous read, June 2010
A touching, mature story of romance by Anne Mather. Mature, insightful and memorable. Definitely one of my favourites.
This is a poignant love story filled with passion and tenderness of an older woman and a younger man who meet during their
overnight stay en route to the Caribbean. The heroine is invited to dinner by a stranger, thinking she is safe in the anonymity of a strangers advancestheir night develops into a night of passion. You can feel outrage for the heroine since she is subject to her friend's machinations of pity and condescension by her ex-husband, which the hero constantly foils.
This is a book that mature women can enjoy and appreciate and share the irony of romance.

This book was first published in 1985, and at times it may seem a dated, but I enjoy dated.
The concept of a career-oriented secretary becoming involved with an executive in an age where women would
scream sexual harrassment and hostile work environment. In any event, this is an excellently presented and an emotional story of loss, conflict and discovering new love and moments.
Rome is a sexy, aggressive man having tragically lost his wife and two young sons to a car crash. Years later he is still recovering from the loss. Having spent a night with Sarah, his wife's best friend and a beautiful co-worker, he cannot treat her casually.
Sarah, having unrequited feelings for Rome and despite her reservations is privately thrilled when Rome pursues her. Rome has some deep-sated emotional issues to relinquish such as intimacy. Sarah's continued patience and understanding allow him to sort out his feelings on his own terms. The greatest challenge is Sarah's pregnancy and her silent reserve and love for Rome and her unborn baby when he demands she terminate the life of her unborn baby.
There's not much plot here, but the relationship is very passionate and intense and manages to snare the reader's attention. A very satisfying book that you can read many times.

A heart-wrenching and emotional story of betrayal and lapse of judgement. The author evokes many emotions. This story epitomizes the loss of a marriage disintegrating and being powerless to change the impact. The happy ending is the sense of renewal as they both forge a path to forgiveness and acceptance. This is a treasured story serving as a reminder to appreciate the simple pleasures in life, it can easily be taken away if taken for granted. This is an amazing story of re-discovery.
