Once I started reading this book, I found it hard to put down. Delinsky uses a great mix of romance, drama and even a bit of comedy. The main characters had interesting careers (one a corporate CEO and the other a famous photographer) and a tragically intertwined past. I like how Marni stands up to her father when she realizes Brian is the thing she wants even more than her powerful job running the family business - which she was basically pushed into after the tragic death of her brother, in an accident that left Brian severely wounded. Love conquers all in this story and it brings a smile to my heart.

This was a nice, fast paced story of reconciliation, healing and forgiveness. The meant-to-be type of romance between soulmates appeals to my hopelessly romantic heart, and I especially like the mature way Marnie stood up against her parent's controlling manipulativeness, leaving the door open for acceptance and a loving resolution.

I have just finished reading this book for the fourth time. It is wonderfull. It has sold me on Barbara Delinsky. She is a wonderful writer who has made a wonderful plot.

The books overall story is great but I had a hard time getting lost in the characters. I find that many of Delinskys books leave you a little distanced from the characters. I empathized with the characters, but it didn't hold my interest as would other novels I have read. It reminds me of jumping in the shower before taking my clothes off.. I like my books to slowly envelope my mind and take over. This did not do that.

Once I started this book, I could not put it down. It was great I loved the flashback, I could totally relate to this story! I finished in one day. This is my first book buy this Author I will be reading many more! MY one and only complaint.............. IT WAS TOO SHORT!

I couldn't put it down the love story was one of the best!!! I love how she writes I finished it in 2 days, totally recommend it!!

Although I have enjoyed Barbara Delinsky's more recent novels, this one was so full of unrealistic sex that one could forget the plot!

the book was really thoughtful, i couldn't help crying since i was so touched
