This was definitely a powerful book by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I can understand why some fans will likely hate this book. It is not your cookie-cutter style romance. There is tragedy, multiple love interests, giant age gaps between love interests, and not even the children are safe in this one.
That being said, for me, those elements are exactly why I am consistantly amazed by Phillips' novels. Someone who can make laugh, make me cry, make me hate the hero, make me love the hero, all within the same book.... Awesome stuff.
As usual, the audiobook version was the way to go for me with this novel. Such a talented narrator. Pirate voices. Slow Southern drawl. Children. I wish she hadn't died and could narrate more novels.

I loved this book too--one of my all-time favorite reads. So much emotion and heartstring tugs.

Do you have any recommendations for other contemporaries with depth to their characters like this one? I would love some ideas.
I agree, Anna Fields was awesome! Nice review - I'm listening to the audio, and was about to give up, Chantal is annoying the crap out of me, Ms. Fields does her annoying southern drawl a little too well, lol
you might like nora roberts - public secrets. she doesn't usually go in depth with her chracters but in this novel she did.
