I had read this before long ago but had forgotten enough to really enjoy it a second time. Quite different. You've never read this plot before.

Very angsty. The hero here really changed as a result of meeting the heroine and he a very charming and interesting man who really puts himself right out there for the heroine. She is a person who might be kind of hard for some readers to like but she is believably and sympathetically written as a woman who was grieving who was in very ill health and who was so stressed out that she made some very poor decisions and then was afraid to confess. I liked her even though she was far from lily white.

I liked the way that in the end there was sufficient giving in from each of them, plenty of talking things out and how he said that ultimately his choices were life with Claudia or life without Claudia and there was really only one choice.

Highly recommended to all lovers of Harlequin Presents especially if you like something different. ( )
