  <default-description>Celebrity talk show host Blue Reynolds is the queen of daytime television&#8212;she is smart, funny, and as down-to-earth as her adoring fans. In the eyes of the world, she has it all. But no one knows about the secret she has harbored for the last twenty years&#8212;a secret that could destroy her image, her reputation, and her career. Twenty years ago, she gave birth to a son and put him up for adoption through illegal channels. And every day since, she&#8217;s been filled with regret. Now Blue has hired a private investigator to find her son, knowing full well the consequences.

A week in Key West to do her show on location brings Blue a much-needed change of pace&#8212;and an unexpected reunion with an old flame, Mitch Forrester. Helping him launch a television series may help her recapture the kind of genuine romance and affection long missing from her life. But it also means having to deal with Mitch&#8217;s disapproving son, Julian, who is only nine years younger than Blue. Emotionally battered from his years as a war photographer in the world&#8217;s most dangerous hotspots, Julian struggles to get close to his father while making his disdain for Blue crystal clear&#8212;which makes his desire for her all the more shocking.

As serendipity and scandal collide, Therese Fowler&#8217;s passionate, illuminating novel takes a dramatic turn deep into our own hearts, as the healing power of love&#8212;family love, romantic love, and self-love&#8212;transforms pain and regrets into promises and second chances. </default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was so excited to read Fowler's second book since I had loved Souvenir.  I was disappointed in this book.  The characters never seemed to be developed.  It all seemed to work out too easily.  For me, it was not believable.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Having read Souvenir I was disappointed with Reunion. Reading the jacket I thought this book would have covered the struggle to find Blue's child given up at birth and the emotions involved. This was not the case.
