LOVE IT!! It was my favorite of all her books. So well written, I felt like I was apart of the story.I just love this one. Just reread it again and again I found myself so drawn into the story that I didn't want to do anything else until I finished it. It makes me laugh and cry at all the right spots. I just hate putting it down.Not my favorite by this author, because the main couple were estranged too much. Still good, though. It's set about 30 years ago, so it's dated -- but it's interesting, recalling how things were in times of recent past. See Mo's review for images of Charlie perfume commercial, etc.
3 ½ stars. Good womens fiction story, a bit of a downer. Unlikeable heroine. Ending was happy but should have been better.STORY BRIEF:Catherines father was an abusive drunk. Her mother was weak. Clays parents were wealthy and loving. Clay and Catherine had a blind date. They saw each other only one night and she got pregnant. For interesting reasons, they agree on a marriage of convenience and to divorce after the baby is born.OPINION:Most of the book was not fun. But at the end I thought ok, I
Darn I do remember this book, as soon as I began to read it. I set it down and amended the earlier five stars to one. I'll be perfectly clear I love LS's novels, not everyone of course but the majority of them but this one is definitely way down there. (view spoiler)[Clays behaviour was in the major league. A right SOB. Abbreviated version. Clay is forced to marry a cold fish (he doesnt bother to find out why Catherine is the way she is), shes pregnant from their one night stand but thats okay
I read this book when I was just a teenager and thought about it periodically through the years. It stayed with me. Re-reading it all these years later really had a profound effect on me. I found it not only evoking feelings of nostalgia but genuinely enjoying myself on a sort of trip down memory lane. Definitely worth another go. I highly enjoyed it and was thoroughly entertained.
A drunken one-night-stand leaves Catherine Anderson pregnant. But when she tells Clay Forrester that he is going to be a father, he barely remembers her. Catherine agrees to his offer of a marriage of convenience. They will stay married until the baby is born and he is done with law school. As the weeks go by and they settle into their new home, Clay tries to make the best of their marriage. But Catherine won't let go of the past and refuses to give her heart to her husband.I usually love
I haven't read a ton of LS books, but this is by far the most stressful one I've read to date. Even though it was written in the 80s, I still found the overall storyline engaging. The later half of the book tested my patience with both Cat and Clay. The ending was worth the rollercoaster ride of emotions, and I have no regrets over the journey.
