5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read!, June 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Drive Me Wild (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)

I LOVED this book! The characters were real, the plot inventive and the writing was first rate -- one of those rare books you want to swallow in one sitting.

If you're in the mood to read a heartfelt love story with some wonderfully steamy scenes, don't miss this one. I even loved the atmosphere -- the sleepy, small town, with flashbacks to the innocence of young love.

Oh, and there was a lot of great humor in the story too. This book had it all!

This review is from: Drive Me Wild (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)

Elizabeth Harbison has a nice writing style, a good voice, with bright spark of humour. Too bad the story is rather forced (not her fault but with series romance structure!!)

Luke Stewart was in love with Grace Bowes 17 years ago, but she married his best friend and move away. And those embers have remained banked. They flare to life again when Grace comes into to interview for a job. No longer the golden girl, part of a golden couple, she is divorced with a 9 year old son and so desperate for a job and willing to do anything - including learn how to drive a school bus.

Romance naturally follows, with Grace still determined to return to the big city once she gets on her feet.

Just a little too weak on the reasons why she wants to leave the love of her life for the big city a second time, forcing her characters to go through the motions, instead of letting the plot move them. (The books quick pace is as fault here. With a longer length, she could have devoted more time to this).

Luke and Grace are achingly 'real', and she gives teenage uncertainity, of a romance that never dies a strong treatment.

A pleasant quick read, with strong, vivid character development. I enjoy series romance, since many of the brighest star come there, and I think we will be hearing more Elizbeth Harbison. I will purchase further books with her name on it and look forward to them!!
