5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS A GREAT NOVEL!, January 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Distant Memories (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

If you've ever suffered from a case of the blues, then this book is for you! It's filled with strength, hope, perseverance, and yes, LOVE. It made a believer out of me!

Beautifully written. Wonderfully crafted. A book that will make you think, but most of all, belive in love again.

Read this one. It's going to be well worth it! Five stars! I would give it more if I could.

5.0 out of 5 stars A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN STORY ABOUT A DIFFICULT SUBJECT, December 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Distant Memories (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

Distant Memories is a book about domestic abuse. A woman coming out of a bad marriage with severe psychological trauma. It is also a book about never losing faith, a book about hope, about the enduring quality of love.

I can completely relate to the racquel character. I too was trapped in an abusive marriage. After reading this book, I had to rethink my feelings on never getting involved with a man again. It made me think.

I really enjoyed this book. It was not one of Ms Stanhope's humorous books, but, humor in this situation would not have been appropriate at all. I think the author is a very gifted writer. I also think that it is way too early in her career to pigeon hole her as an author who should only write humorous romance.

BRAVO Ms. Stanhope for having the courage to write a book about an extremely difficult subject. I Love your books! I also recommend: MADE FOR EACH OTHER, NIGHT TO REMEMBER, CHAMPAGNE WISHES as must reads! I will be keeping DISTANT MEMORIES on my shelf to lend to friends and family.

By A Customer

This review is from: Distant Memories (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

This was a wonderful romance novel. I read it from beginning to end in one sitting. I loved the mystery. The prologue actually gave me the jitters! HAd to keep the lights on afterwards. I thought the romance between Sean and Racquel was passionate and sweet. It was the bomb!

I love your books Niqui! And, this one is great! GO NIQUI,GO NIQUI,GO NIQUI! KEEP THEM COMING!
