Summary: A romance I've never been able to forget
Review: I read this book when I was in high school, and have never been able to forget it. Over the years, I lost track of the book - now I'm ordering it and will have the pleasure of keeping it on my bookshelf.
Sharon Curtis wove the kind of characters that have lasted with me for year - primarily because they were so real. Their emotions, actions, reactions they all touched a chord somewhere. There was humor and passion as well along with real issues the secondary characters had to work through. This was the perfect short romance.
I can't wait until it gets here.

Summary: yes, no, maybe so
Review: Overall, this story was good. Well written. The characters were well-drawn. The problems inherent with a virtual nobody having a romance (not a fling) with a super-mega star was realistic.We'll suspend disbelief that somebody as seemingly perfect and probably jaded as the hunky Neil Stratton could fall in forever-kind-of-love with an unsophisticated, emotional baggage carrying, rather prudish minister's daughter, Kathy Carter. Okay, Kathy wasn't all that bad. She sounds real nice, actually, and she was gorgeous, to boot. Her near obsession with her deceased husband was believable. Her insecurities and feelings of inadequacy when faced with the full impact of Neil's background, sophistication, talent, and fortune would be natural, I should think, so no complaints from me there. However, (you knew there was a however coming) as understanding as I am of her mixed feelings, her wishywashyness was a bit wearing. Everytime she did the "theresnowayimgoingwithyou!" song and dance or the old "AndIneverwanttoseeyouagian!" , he'd just call or send flowers or whatever and she'd just turn into a little puddle at his feet, melted by the rays of his starpower, no doubt. Okay, that was way harsh but the bit at the end where she rushes to his concert! I like a romantic, dramatic gesture as well as the next gal, I should think, but no matter how great it would be to have a song written for you and how eager you are to kiss and make up --- this is just ridiculous! I groaned in actual near to physical pain and wondered aloud to myself "why the heck doesn't she just wait and call him after the concert?" (only I used much stronger language, of course). Ah well, live out your groupie fantasy with this one girls. Let it Be.

Review: This is my second favorite book by Sharon and Tom Curtis, after The Windflower. It's wonderfully tender and funny, and the characters are fully developed, multi-faceted people. A definite keeper!
