I have always had a soft spot for books about the Best Friends discovering that they have more feelings for each other than they originally thought. This story complicates that simple plot by adding a widow and a small child into the mix.
Wade is the very lovable bachlor that is fun to read about. He definatley made the story fly by. And his support of his best friend's widow makes him that much more endearing.

I like friend to lovers story and this fit this theme. The fact I appreciated the most was these two were truly best friends, joking about the hero's success with women, he being there for her when her husband and his best friend died and the best part was that both of them had never harboured feelings of more than friendship before they both take a trip out of town & are thrown in close proximity. This change of environment makes them see each other in a new light with bot More...

This book was a cute book with the theme of be careful what you wish for. Cyn, a widow for 2 years, while eating breakfast with her son and mother made the off hand remark that she wished her life would become more exciting. That day after a bad day at work she stops by her best friend's house, also her dead husband's best friend, to vent and unload. Worth happens to have tickets to Mexico for the weekend, the woman he was supposed to go with had to cancel at the last minute. He managed to t

For me this was a quick and enjoyable read. I have a soft spot for romances with complications and misunderstandings and there are more than enough of both in this. All in all this was a bit too fluffy for my taste, though. I think, this novel felt a bit rushed, the characters work through all of the different steps of conflicts with each other, their feelings and other love interests really fast, and there were many stories going on in the bac More...

This book is remniscent of the reason I got hooked on romance novels. It is not a deeply emotional, complex read with multidimensional characters like the books that I read today, but it is nice to be reminded of the simplicity of romance and how sometimes less is more.
I am an ABSOLUTE sucker for "friends turned lovers" books. This is that, but it is also about a man falling for his deceased best-friend's widow. An icky premise, but one that is entirely acceptable by the e More...

This book was my first from author Sandra Brown. And I was pleasantly pleased to have found a new romance author. This novel was a light-hearted romance that I finished in a couple of hours. It did not have any major weight of issues within, and it provided a great escape into a fun story.
The basic story revolves around Cyn and Worth, best friends from college back when Cyn was dating, then married, Worth's best friend Tim. The three friends seemed to do everything together, and Cy More...

Aku suka banget A Whole New Light ini. Tema temen-jadi-demen gitu lho ... one of my favorite theme. Dan hubungan mereka baik banget sebelumnya. Kayaknya belum nemu SB yang begini (kecuali Texas! Chase dan Marcie, tapi itu juga sempet dingin gara2x kecelakaan yang newasin istrinya Chase)
Jadi ya si Cyn ini bersahabat baik kok sama Worth, sahabat almarhum suaminya. Sampe akhirnya ... mereka liburan bareng dan 'terjadilah' sesuatu. Dari situ mereka sempet renggang gara-gara Worth salah ng More...

A nice reading, but this isn´t definetely one of Sandra Brown´s best books. There´s specially one thing that I would like to see better "solved". Their sudden attraction, the way things happened, didn´t convince me 100%. Come on... they were friends, they were always together, there was never a single spark (at least I as a reader didn´t notice any) and suddenly they´re on Acapulco and love suddenly shows up... But except for this it is a very nice and recomendable reading.

Cynthia's husband had died 2 yrs. ago. She had a young son so she didn't go out much if any at all. Her mother came to live with Cynthia and her son after her husband died. Her mother noticed that she rarely went out and enjoy life since she was only 29-30. One day she went to visit her husband's best friend. He was commentating that he had an extra ticket to Acapulco. He had to talk her into going even she didn;t wnat to go. She did and they noticed that they were attracted to each other. She h

An easy, good romance story with almost predictable ending. Not her best, but still one of my personal favorite. As this book was first published in early 90s, the characterization (not to mention the fashion, haha) is different than most contemporary romance written today. But don't let that deter you from giving this book a try.
A good book is a good book regardless when it was first released :)

My only problem with this funny, sexy book is that Cyn's husband had to die for these two to come together.
I laughed. I teared up a little. I marvelled at how absolutely BLIND Worth had been for YEARS!
This is a great read that is quick, a little predictable, but LOADS of fun!!

A Whole New Light was an easy read, as is most of the books Sandra Brown writes that I have read. I enjoyed this one as I expected I would, Sandra reached into the hidden storages of my brain to expel this lively little number. Enjoyed every moment of its’ words.
