I couldn't resist reviewing this romance, which I bought second hand recently after reading some of Ms. Fulton's fantastic new books.
I loved the plot, which was about the gentle seduction of a 'virgin' who in her turn seduces a more jaded older lover into seeing the world through fresh eyes. Very few authors could pull off a story like this with the finesse of Jennifer Fulton. I doubt many would be brave enough to try knowing they are liable to have it condemned by the thought police, irrespective of the quality or sensitivity of the writing.
I saw on this author's website that she wrote it in response to requests for a spring autumn romance. My first love-the love of my life, was a woman twenty-four years older than myself, and I was fortunate to be with her until her death.
Love can happen to women of very different ages and be consensual and wonderful, which is exactly how Ms. Fulton depicts it in this sweet and delicious romance. I would give it more stars if possible. It touched me and brought back some very happy memories of the partner I've lost, whose age was no more relevant than her shoe size. Kudos to you Ms. Fulton for boldly going where most of our writers don't have the talent to go and for bringing your readers yet another unique, original, warm-hearted romance.

I really enjoyed this book. It was funny and insightful. It was just a thoroughly great way to spend a lazy day. I'm going to read all of this author's books and I have the feeling I'll enjoy every minute.

Okay, so it's not "Pride and Prejudice," but this is really a fun read. The characters are real, multi-dimensional people, the dialogue is good, and you genuinely want to know what's going to happen next. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it was too short--I wanted the story to continue!

I thought this was a wonderful book. I liked the characters. They were likeable and seemed very real to me. I thought the story was very sweet-perhaps the ending was a little unbelievable, but I enjoyed every minute of the read!

This was a very poorly developed plot, and seemed to have been cut short or edited out the soul of the characters. Maybe Jennifer was going through a midlife crisis. There was more chemistry between Blair and the vet than the main character Cassie. Luckily I have read Passion Bay and Saving Grace and realize this was not typical for Fulton.

I enjoyed this book, but could not get past the age difference in the characters. Cassie is 19 and Blair is 38. Add four years and we're talking the age difference between my oldest daughter and me. If Fulton had kept the age span closer to 10-12 years or so, I would have have rated it much higher.
