It's a classic love story between two people who were and still in love, who are wondering what went wrong in the relationship. I feel anyone who has been a relationship where they were truly in love and was broken up with can relate to this story no matter what race, culture, or gender you identify with

It's refreshing to see a love story a true love story where there is no mess ups, no cheating just two people who are attracted slowly coming together waiting until things are ready to be together. Saying that this is a wonderful story but also long tale. Some areas could have been glanced over.

We begin with Ian meeting Tessa and thinking she is young and not able to do the position. Until he visited his mentor and hers. From this moment on he was hooked. Tessa was his heart and soul. But she was married. A complicated marriage to her best friend.

Over the years, things changed and their relationships did as well. Tessa and her husband are no longer, Ian has stopped dating because Tessa is all he wants, Jason his cousin has harassed Tessa and she is now dealing with being alone and broke. A christmas party occurs and Ian becomes her protector again only to find out that she is now single and his heart skips a beat. His chance finally after two and a half years.

What happens next is the story of them coming together. How they got to know one another, how he helped her see how beautiful she was and helped her gain confidence, how he patiently waited for her to realize her feelings, how they slowly couldn't live without one another, the trials of being apart with his work, her losing her home to fire, them moving in together, her health scare, their love growing stronger, how they came out to family and co-workers, how they got engaged.

It is a tender and beautiful book. One that lets you see love in all its glory and see how beautiful these types of books are. So tender and precious to see such a book full of prose and beauty it will put a smile to your face.

This love story is definitely a romantic classic of what a man sacrifices and all he does for the woman he loves!

If you're interested in endearing love stories that stand the tests of time, then this is the book for you. Heath and Grace share a bond that goes beyond romantic love. Theirs is a love of true soul connection. A love that forgives, uplifts, speaks the truth, and ultimately heals the old wounds of a haunted past. I thoroughly suggest reading this book, along with all of Laurie Winter's novels. You won't regret it.

A love story of how two opposites are attracted to each other.  A waitress who loves the classics and can quote Chaucer. A college professor who also loves classics. He comes to eat at the restaurant where she works and the rest is a funny warm love story. Debbie Macomber never fails to deliver a great story. I love all her books.

An emotionally charged story of two individuals who love each other from childhood, survive challenges to this love and are ultimately changed forever.  From the very beginning you know that this will be a special love story.  As children Kane and T come together because of heartrending circumstances.  Over the years their love grew from mutual support through crisis to a mature love until a tragedy and secrets pull them apart.  The characters are  thoughtfully developed in this story and the first half of the book moves at a steady pace.  My only hesitancy in awarding 5 stars is the change in direction for the remainder of the book.  Still a good story but it took me a while to reconnect to new developments in the story.  That said this is a very good read with memorable characters, intrigue, humor and satisfying. Warning there are some very sexy scenes in this book which you can simply skip if this is not to your liking.

The lovers meet in an American college and marry and move to his home in Iran.

The basic story here is one we have heard in the headlines, and the fleeing into the mountains is again something we will have run into in many WWII books.

But ths book leads you on a journey Into the love and gradual disillusionment of two young people who should have been happy but for their changing world.

It is an excellent, easy to read, book that sticks in your mind long afterwards.

Loved the old-world elements of this book and the magic at play. It has all of the trappings of a classic love story, boy meets girl. Girl hates boy, but there is an element of attraction. They make a deal and it goes from there. I really like the voices that Jennifer Probst creates in her characters.

I love the story, even though I think is a short story. It is a lovely story! How two friends since childhood come to realize they've been in love for so many years and not admitting it to themselves and each other!

I am a huge fan of the classics; the old movies that are truly romantic and timeless.  I think thats why I enjoyed reading this story.

Tracy Connor is a professional and strong woman.  Her career is in Manhattan. She is having trouble adjusting to her life in a small, Connecticut town where her husband, Mike Connor, is Mayor. Mike takes his job very seriously and spends most of his time running his hometown. They have little time together, both are stubborn, and neither is willing to compromise their dreams for the other, even in the hope of saving their marriage.

Tracy takes an apartment in Manhattan. She wants to think and sort through their problems.
What she encounters are a couple of classic movie stars, who may be having their own identity crisis, that help her see what is truly important in life.

This is a modern day story with a huge twist. It was good to read about a couple who are having typical, true-to-life problems. This story was fun, enjoyable and charming!

I received a complimentary copy of DATING CARY GRANT from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

3 1/2 stars This is a fairly classic story line. Maks is all set to make his lover Gillian his bride until her medical report comes back showing fertility problems. Big issue for the Prince of a country that requires at least an heir and a spare.

So of course he dumps her, after a last magic night of lovemaking.

Gillian is not clueless, she's seen where the relationship is heading and is expecting her HEA to be announced that night. She thinks that magical night was all about leading up to the big moment so in the afterglow she tells Maks she loves him which is a big deal for her as she's never been shown love by her parents, only her grandparents.

Maks response is to dump her but he feels guilty about it. In fact he feels really bad for a whole host of reasons he'd rather not deal with, so he doesn't.

So...9 weeks later...a little bird tells Maks that Gillian is off to the obstetrician. Duty requires he go and take responsibility. It's a tough job but he's up for it. Only trouble is that Gillian isn't as happy about his return as he expected.

The rest of the story is largely about how they resolve the conflict between his declaration that he does not love her but wants her and the baby and Gillian's despair that she loves a man who will never love her back but she wants a proper family life for her child.

I enjoyed the story though occasionally the back and forth over the 'you love me I love you not' got a little repetitive. The ending was satisfying and could have done without the the Epilogue which was a rushed tidy up with a link to the other story in the duet about Maks cousin.

Sara and Wolf were "damaged" people, who find love and comfort in each other. My only problem with this story is Wolf Patterson. He is an Alfa male and his "damage" is not believable. Why would he give a woman so much control over him for so long? Other than that this is a Diana Palmer Classic story, a very good read.

Between Lovers is fresh look on a classic love triangle.  It is the story of a man trying to outgrow his unhealthy relationship with his ex-fiance who left him at the alter seven years ago, for another woman.  This story is less about the triangle but one man's journey to move on.  This is a must read for anyone who has ever had a broken heart.  Many people maybe turned off by the lesbian story line.  However, because "the other man" is a woman, he cannot fight for her in a traditional sense.  This forces the character face his feelings on an emotional and spiritual level.
Mr. Dickey makes a deviation from his usual multiple person view point and only allows the males character to tell the story.  At times I missed the female point of veiw, but at it's heart this story isn't about them but his journey to heal and forgive.
This book is a must read for anyone who's ever had a broken heart, and for any woman who has ever wondered about how men deal with a break-up.

I read it because I was curious about their famed relationship and how it transpired, however what I got out of it was a story of true love and admiration between two people. It was an amazing read and I enjoyed every second of it. Just sad it's over.

To put it simply, this is a story about love in various forms and degrees. The most important thing about love and relationships, however, is that no one can control who a person does and does not love. It's entertaining to follow Emma Woodhouse as she tries to play matchmaker, thinking that she knows best, and in the end she even surprises herself. You could update the time period and everything is still completely applicable in today's world.

Aside from the story, I should also like to note that the formatting of this story is fantastic on the Kindle, unlike some of the other Austen novels I'm reading (Pride & Prejudice's formatting is not as smooth).
