Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-07 00:00:00 Kevin Van Dien I love this author so much. That was such an emotional and heartbreaking book. Hero and heroine were young lovers but when Caroline became pregnant her father forced her to have an abortion and hero left the town to chase his dreams of becoming rich. 17 years later he is back in town to remodel his old house and the two young lovers are reunited but Jack is still bitter and hurt. He can't forgive Caroline for aborting his baby but at the same time he can't resist her. Like I said this is a deeply emotional and heartbreaking book. Maggie Cox writes the sweetest heroines. Caroline was compassionate and vulnerable a sweet young girl who was abused by her father and she still found it in her heart to forgive him. She never stopped loving Jack but she doesn't know if he can forget and forgive her for aborting his baby. Jack is bitter and hurt but also vulnerable. I loved his jealousy and possessiveness. The ending was sweet. They are pregnant again and this time nothing will ruin their happiness. Totally safe for me. Hero is heroine's only lover but hero was not celibate during separation, he had sexual encounters, he even got married to a cheap slut who cheated on him.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-04-18 00:00:00 Marilyn Grover Caroline runs a small art supplies shop near the beach, where she tries to escape her past, something that happened seventeen years ago. Jack Fitzgerald, who is back at his childhood home after seventeen years, remembers Caroline Tremayne, a girl who had moved into their neighbourhood when she was sixteen. He remembers his attraction to her and also the way she had broken his trust. Thirty-seven to her thirty-four, they had parted on very bitter terms, with Jack blaming her for terminating her pregnancy all those years back. And our hero is clearly not a young 'un, with a divorce and a heart attack in the recent past. They came from different classes, she the daughter of a dignified doctor whereas he the son of an alcoholic philanderer. A second chance story, this didn't click with me. Maybe because of the huge gap, seventeen years felt too long. Coming from parents like his, no wonder Jack was the way he was. But, his hatred towards Caroline seemed a trifle too much. He always acts like a bastard, never once even trying to think what she went through. And I felt so bad for Caroline, she didn't have anyone to share her feelings for seventeen years. There's also Dr Nicholas Brandon, her father's friend, who's just as condescending as her father. And also a creep. When finally they have 'the talk', it's so ghastly, what happened to her all those years ago. What a pig! Both Charles Tremayne and Nicholas Brandon. I loved how the author placed a confrontation between Nicholas and Jack, just where one was needed what with Charles being no longer alive. From so much hurt, how they come together again is how this story ends, with a hint towards their future.
