5+ stars – Contemporary/Erotic Romance
WOW! This is without a doubt one of the sweetest and most satisfying, touching, sexy, and thoroughly romantic short stories that I’ve read. I absolutely loved it!
Faith and Troy Wainwright are back in their hometown for a relaxing visit now that their kids are settled in at college, but Troy’s got a romantic anniversary surprise in store for his wife to celebrate their twenty-five years of marriage. He takes Faith on a trip down memory lane to relive their most special moments together and redo their “firsts”. It’s a sentimental journey of remembrance and reconnection and along the way they learn more about each other, revive their youthful desire, explore new areas of erotic passion, and fall in love all over again.
It’s a splendid, heartwarming love story with genuine characters that brought tears to my eyes several times, and it’s plenty steamy too! I’m very impressed that a short novella packed such an emotional wallop. It’s a wonderful example of why I so enjoy a good romance and also a terrific reminder of the beauty and magic in normal, everyday love stories of all kinds. Thank you Mari Carr for writing such a moving, romantic story! Big 5 stars!
