Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-01 00:00:00 Nicholas Denham Zachary and Christen were friends in medical school, until one night they made the choice to go to bed together. Bad choice - Christen packed her bags and left town in the morning, and Zachary's never forgiven her. He hasn't forgotten her either, so years later he finds his way to her hometown and takes a job as a GP at the small clinic, in the hopes that he can work his way into her heart - and get her out of his. Over the last five years or so I've tried three separate times to read this, and after the first dozen pages or so I've admitted defeat. This time I soldiered on, and I'm glad I did, because after a slow beginning (actually, I found the first fifty-odd pages very hard going) it gets much more interesting. Zach and Christen were both appealing characters, with enough virtues to not turn me off and enough flaws and personal demons to seem realistic. And I liked Hunter, Christen's artist friend, a lot. I did find the whole plot idea of Zach coming to seduce Christen years later to be a bit odd - it shows up in romance novels a lot, but do people actually do this? I'm not sure what else to say about this one. Usually I have clearer thoughts on a book, but I read this in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. Overall, I did quite enjoy Winter Morning, though it didn't get to my heart the way some books do, and it was a bit too 80s-angsty to be on the 'keep' list. 3 stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-24 00:00:00 Christian Coulais Runaway�opens in a seedy bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Jess Cantor� is there - a journalist gathering information about the young runaways that end up there. Crystal walks into the bar but will not talk with him. She is dressed like she is there to pick up a guy for sex but her walk isn't quite right. Hmm. And then Jess thinks he may have seen her before. The opening chapter has atmosphere, a promise of mystery and that everything is not as it seems. I was hooked . It turns out Crystal is Krista - a librarian in New Orleans in search of her runaway sister. So when she teams up with Jess what can a journalist and librarian do? Well with a lot of love in their hearts that could count, because runaways mostly leave home from lack of it. However trust is a rare commodity. Will they find Rosie the sister that Krista feels she let down badly. The search is on, and along the way they experience the seedy side of New Orleans, and some of the evil men here and further afield who will try to stop their search turning into a success. They will be changed by what happens to them, and so is the reader. There just isn't enough love and kindness in the world. This trilogy - there are two more in the series, was first published in 1990. Emilie Richards now has the rights back for it and is republishing it. She has left it in that time, so no cell phones or internet to help. Yet this is still a story for our time and I loved it. I can't wait for book 2 and 3. I know what I'll be giving priority in my reading to once they are �available. I see Runaway�was a nominee for RWA for long contemporary romance 1991. Well deserved.
