Rekindled Love is a touching story about first love -- and for Sophie Grisgon, loss of her virginity to the teen boy she is sure she fully loves, Joe Turner. TL Clark has written a story of emerging female identity and enduring love, capable of transcending readers back to their first love and the wonderful experience that never quite leaves one's memory bank.

Albeit a totally different setting and time (Newcastle?) than the hit song depicts, shortly after I began reading Rekindled Love, the lyrics from John Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane" came to mind and is still playing in my mental jukebox as I write this review.

As teenagers in love, Sophie and Joe believe their future will be all sunshine and roses, but when they are separated because of Sophie's father moving his business up north, their lives unravel, Especially Sophie's who endures more pain than the human spirit should ever have to go through.

Over the decades, life for Sophie turns into a big mess as her future relationships seem measured to her love for Joe, and the wonderment of a virgin's first sexual encounter. Rekindled Love will take readers on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, so grab your Kleenex and enjoy!

What a wonderful love story that spans the test of time. It explains how much another person can truly impact our lives and etch themselves into our hearts forever. A deep-rooted teenage romance that never lets go and definately pulls at every heartstring. This is a well-written book that drew me right into the story. A book to share and pass on to my daughters and to anyone else who has ever felt the emotional roller coaster of undying true love. This is a story that anyone who has ever been in love, experienced love loss or been lost in love can surely relate to.

As a fan of happily ever after, this story is a good one.  The nod to Juvenile Diabetes was a wonderful acknowledgment that many children have health issues, but with care can lead active normal lives. Can childhood loves stay the distance?  I personally have seen that it my own family with an aunt and uncle. In love from early high school on, they are in their 80's now and still hold hands. It would be wonderful if all marriages could be that way.

When love spans hundreds of miles, across two countries, and connects two lost souls long before they will ever physically meet, you know that something special is in the works. My True Love is truly something special!

The daughter of the laird of Dunniwerth, Anne Sinclair's childhood was a bit hard, though to an outsider they would think she had it all. And in many ways she did--but she wasn't spoiled by it, and her parents taught her to be giving, to be kind, and to be a hard worker. But at times having parents that expected so much from her was hard. It was during times like these that Anne wished for someone to talk to.

One night, when Anne was only 8, she had a vision, and in this vision she clearly saw a young boy, sitting in a castle, hearing the cries of his mother laboring in another room. Soon a woman comes in and tells the boy that his mother has passed on, as well as the babe. Anne watches as this strong boy, so young and yet already so old, breaks down and cries. Touched by the emotions and the connection she feels with this unknown boy, Anne begins to cry ,too. For the rest of her life, she continues to see visions of the boy--always random, always one sided. But as she grows, the boy does too, and by the time she is in her early 20's, she's watched Stephen grow up to become a man. She loves him, yet she's never really met him, and he has no idea she even exists.

When her father begins pushing for her to marry, she decides it is time to take her life into her own hands, and off she goes to find Stephen. Even if a relationship doesn't come out of it, she has to see him, touch him, at least once before she returns home and settles into a life that her parents want her to have.

Stephen, now the earl of his family's castle is intrigued by the stubborn lass that shows up on his grounds. What is it about her that has captured his attention so? She seems to know him, recognized him first thing and knew of his childhood hiding place--is she a witch, to know so such things? He doesn't believe so, but that still doesn't explain the way she acts, nor the words he has caught her saying (such as "I've seen you my whole life", though they've never met). Regardless, he finds himself starting to care for her, and he wants to protect her, to get out of the trouble he is in with the crown so that he might have a chance at a life with her. But will her secret tear them apart--or will it be her father who keeps them apart?

I can't say enough great things about this book! It simply blew me away. Within the first few pages, I was hooked, and for the first time in a long time, I entered into a story where I didn't want to put it down. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough (clich, but so very true!), and I was even teary eyed during a few of the more emotional scenes. I could feel the love between Anne and Stephen, first as she was growing up (and loved the image of the boy), then later as she finally realized that regardless of the visions she had of him, she loved the man he had become, not just the child she wanted to comfort.

The writing was excellent; Karen has a talent for words and the characters were very nicely done. I loved many of the quotes and passages from this book, and while most of them are more meaningful when reading the entire story, they are also very potent on their own. A rare treat, and something that not many authors can do.

Simply a beautiful story of unconditional love and how it sometimes takes a lifetime to realize it for what it is.  An uplifting, easy read.

I feel like I have lived this story... Perhaps we all have. Beautiful love story of a past life romance. The kind of love that only comes around once. I laughed... I cried. We would all be lucky to feel this even once.

This story is an amazing time traveled journey of two people who found an incredible bond of love and the pain of searching for and waiting for that beautiful love lost so many years ago. The descriptive narration and colorful details of the moment during this time brings the reader to that place and makes one feel that they are actually there. I was mesmerized by the brief encounter of two lives intertwined and feelings of love at first sight. This happens in life and the thought of it made me want to experience this and live for such a deep passion and emotional escapade. It is well written and made me want for more. I love the ending, which lead to a possible chance encounter again. I highly recommend this book, as well as others by Thomas Baker, a very gifted expressive author. Order it, read it and fall in love with the spirit of true love. Five stars, hands down!

Often in fiction, the story ends and readers are left to assume the happily ever after. Its usually at high pointa declaration of love, an engagement, a wedding. But what happens after the last first kiss? After the I dos? When real life encroaches on the high of falling in love? What happens when there are hiccups in the happily-ever-after?

In her latest book, Denise Hunter explores this concept while delicately balancing on the line of realities of life and the hope of love.

Noah and Josephine had a whirlwind romance, one that seemed to set them up for a lifetime of love. But it ended too soonor has it?

Josephine didn't completely open herself up to her husband while Noah hadnt wanted to push his wife whenever he saw that expression of sadness cross her features. Yet, in successful relationshipsones that last lifetimescommunication is so key.

Forced together due to a storm, Noah and Josephine must fast their failures and faults in their relationship while admitting there is still something between them. Will they allow past hurts and angry words to overrule Gods grace, forgiveness, and healing? Sweetbriar Cottage presents a picture that reminds the reader that only Gods love is limitless. That people make mistakes and errors that hurt deeply but unconditional love is not something we earn, its something given freely.

No one can write a story about unrequited love --but not actual unrequited love-- like Melanie and Shawna. Meeting Nate and Eliza and visiting my favorite little town of Harper's Crossing was not disappointing. I think from the very moment we meet Eliza and Nate while in the same room, you kind of automatically root for them together. And although it is obvious that they will end up together because c'mon this is a Melanie Shawn novel we are reading and happy endings are a beautiful common occurrence, there's always the slight fear that this relationship might not work out.
Nate has been in love with Eliza since the second he laid eyes on her his freshman year of high school. Eliza has, also, been in love with Nate since the second she laid eyes on him her freshman year of high school. They were great friends until Eliza started dating Nate's twin brother and Nate being the genius that he is, graduated high school after his sophomore year, so that he wouldn't have to witness Eliza and his brother together over and over again, as a result he avoided getting his heart broken over and over and over again. But, Nate leaving Eliza behind meant also leaving his heart behind because even though it's 10 plus years later, there's never been anyone else for him but Eliza and vice versa. Eliza returning to Harper's Crossings only cements the fact that they are one another's soul mates and the journey to finding their way back to each other is one that I truly cherished reading. Their love is as pure as it was and they were the day they met one another. It also didn't hurt that I got to see my favorite fictional grandfather again, Grandpa J. Melanie and Shawna sure do know how to create the ultimate grandparents. But, once again Melanie and Shawna have restored my faith in true love, even if it is a fictional one.

There is a good measure of love in this book that jumps out of the pages and touches the heart of the reader. It really touched mine. It makes you want to start all over in your own love life. If I had read this book as a young lady -- from teenage years to thirty -- I would have done things differently in my relationship. However, it is never too late for anybody to love again. Now I know what to do. This book has encouraged me enough to begin anew to give and receive lots of love. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially women in relationships, love affair, marriage, or anyone planning to be intimately involved with another individual. This book will inspire women to take ownership of their love life.

Finding true love at any age is challenging, but after loss of a lifetime mate, would be insurmountable for many. This is a book of adventure, discovery, hope, and fulfilment both physical and emotional for a mature woman who is anxious to taste new experiences. It is a chance for the reader to absorb a totally new culture along with the main character.  This is a worthwhile read, a well written book for you to carry to that comfortable chair for an enjoyable few hours.
