I found this updated reissue from Patricia Burroughs to be a touching sensual read. I only know it is a reissue because of the publication info; certainly not from the settings, dialogue or plot points. Ms. Burroughs has a talent for creating characters that grab you and don't let you go until you see them all reach their happily ever after. The children in the story are multi-dimensional characters, their dialogue seems spot on, and the author weaves their emotions and feelings into the story well, without letting them take over. In other words, the secondary characters are really well drawn. The second chance love story involving a primary couple that start out as great characters and evolve into better ones is easy to become emotionally invested in; even paced and well plotted. Oh, and Patricia Burroughs really knows how to bring the funny, and the passion? Whew! The love scenes were sensual, passionate, humorous (yes, I said there was funny)and totally fit into the storyline. If you like a character driven romance with a little heat and a lot of family interaction - this one's for you.*I was lucky to receive my copy through LibraryThing's Early Readers Program in exchange for an honest review.
