4.0 out of 5 stars intriguing family drama, August 8, 2005

This review is from: Another Woman's Son (Harlequin Superromance No. 1294) (Mass Market Paperback)

Isabel Barker has known for months that her estranged husband Will and her married sister Faith were having an affair. She never informed her brother-in-law Ben feeling unsure whether to tell him or not that his wife cheated on him with her brother-in-law. However, the car crash that killed the cheating lovers leaves her no choice as she feels she must explain to the grieving husband that his eighteen month old child Tony does not contain his DNA.

Ben is stunned with Isabel's accusations that their deceased spouses were fleeing with their infant when they crashed. He assumes at first that she is filled with guilt over her rift with her late husband. However, as Ben begins to accept the truth about his wife and their child, he sees how loving and nurturing Isabel is towards her nephew. As the two work closely together to insure that Tony is loved the cuckolded pair fall in love, but can they make a happy family of three out of the tragedy.

Though the intriguing family drama at times feels like a soap opera, fans will enjoy this fine contemporary romance that demonstrates the healing power of love. The adults are a delightful duo as they struggle with anger and resentment towards their late spouses which in turn makes it difficult to admit they love one another until their feelings towards the innocent child and each other begins healing them. Fans of deep character study tales will appreciate Awesome Anna Adams' strong tale.

3.0 out of 5 stars the angst seemed to be there but . . ., June 13, 2010

The emotional angst seemed to be here in this book but I'm not sure if I buy the execution of the plays. So Isabel discovers that her husband was having an affair with her very own sister for ahile and no one put this together? She finds out three months before the adulterous parties are killed in a car accident. . . little too convenient for me. You can never get the full closure now since those two are gone. Why should the get to escape all the heartache they caused for the other's left behind? Ben, the hero, is angry that Isabel didn't tell him what she knew three months before. Um . . . really how was she supposed to tell him? Would he have believed her or hated her because of her telling him? Her parents, mother in particular, came across as caring more for the adulterous Faith than she did Isabel. She didn't seem to be too concerned with the fact that Faith and Will were having an affair but more so that Ben and Isabel had even thought to hook up after their spoused passed away. One other thing: given that Faith and Will were basically living a lie for quite sometime why oh why would anyone believe a word that they said in regards of the parentage of Tony? I say DNA testing and then the whole nasty business could have been avoided . . . possibly . . . .
