1.0 out of 5 stars Big Secrets and Misunderstandings overwhelmed this book, September 1, 2000

This review is from: Love In Bloom (Zebra Bouquet) (Paperback)

I tried to finish this book, but could only make it halfway through. There was no reason for the big misunderstandings and secrets to keep going on and on the way they did. After awhile I decided that if these people couldn't act in a mature fashion, then I didn't want to read about them anymore. Instead of talking and trying to work things out they would lust after each other and lie, or get mad, or simply not believe the truth so the supposed conflict would continue.

I've enjoyed many of the other Bouquets, but unless you like stories based on misunderstandings, this isn't a book I'd recommend.

Alison Kent has updated and revised this 2000 book for Kindle readers. Yay for authors who are making their backlists available to those of us who missed them the first time around.

I really enjoyed this story of tempestuous young lovers reunited as mature adults. Life has happened in the 17 years since teen supermodel Eva and hotshot fashion photographer Carson ended their affair. Eva left the glam life she never wanted and Carson went on to travel the world as a celebrated photojournalist. A chance encounter leads Carson to track down the one who got away. He never knew why Eva left him and he's reached a crossroads compelling him to find answers. Kent deftly handles her lovers as they get to know one another again as grown-ups. Old hurts are realistically addressed and do I have to tell you they fall in love again?

This review is from: Love In Bloom (Zebra Bouquet) (Paperback)

Carson Brandt made Eva Channing a star. His talent as a photographer turned an ordinary adolescent into a super model. Yet this dream of a relationship was short-lived. Years later they reunite. Eva is no longer a frightened girl on the brink of womanhood, but a secure person with a stable life... and a son he believes is his. Eva falls in love with Carson all over again. The intense, sultry encounters of their past come back to haunt them. Neither can forget their lovemaking... experiences that cannot compare to routine sex. Their memories of spontaneous youth are now tempered by maturity, but even hard reality knocks cannot prevent them from pursuing what they lost. This time Carson wants their passion to last.

If Eva walks away again, he will never give her another chance. This time it's forever. Motivated and powerful.
