Book Description

February 1, 1999 Palisades Pure Romance
Kathyrn Sinclair needs to sit down--quickly! She'd answered her front door expecting her boss and his wife. Instead she found herself face-to-face with the one person she never expected to see again: her supposedly deceased husband! An obsessive journalist who put his job before everything else, Nick Egan was reportedly killed in a terrorist attack five years ago. But there he stands, as impressive as ever, ready and waiting to take up life where he left off. Well, Kathryn isn't interested! She's done just fine without him, thank you. And Nick Egan is not getting back into her life. But Nick, and their precocious boys, have other ideas. They're determined to prove to Kate that God has truly changed Nick's heart--no matter what it takes! A funny, heartwarming tale that's a delightful cross between Mr. Mom and The Parent Trap!

More About the Author

Linda Windsor is the author of twenty-nine contemporary and historical novels. Her first sixteen were secular historical romance for Zebra/Kensington Publishing, NY as Linda Windsor and Linda Covington. In 1999, she switched to the inspirational market, once she was assured that Christian characters were not only flawed, but did indeed have hormones. Her late husband used to tease that there was a little of Linda in each of her heroines. Windsor contends he must have been referring to her sense of humor, resourcefulness and stubborness. NOT the figure.

Her inspirational historicals have placed in the secular historical category of some RWA contests and Affaire De Coeur polls. Both her inpirational historicals and romantic comedies, dashed with suspense, have won a few National Reader's Choice Awards, Aspen Golds, Barclay Golds, and numerous other RWA contests as well as the CBA Christy Award for the Irish Celtic RIONA, #2 of the Fires of Gleannmara series.

Windsor resides in a "painfully" restored (as in never do that again!) historic home on the Eastern Shore of MD. She still enjoys singing and playing music (keyboard and guitar) after a ten year stint in an 80's professional band. Today she plays the organ in her church and frequently does special music with guitar at church and for various charities.

Then there are home improvements. She can paper, paint, refinish furniture, and renovate, but... Let's suffice it to say, this Red Hat Lady and AARP member doesn't enjoy them as much as she used to.

Windsor is currently contracted for a three book historical trilogy titled Brides of Alba. HEALER, book one, will hit the shelves this June.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poignant, humorous inspirational romance, March 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Hi Honey, I'm Home (Palisades Pure Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Kathryn Sinclair is tired of her spouse, international reporter Nick Egan, leaving her and their son alone to cover all the world's hot spots. She did not even bother to tell him that she was pregnant, knowing he had no time to care about that minor inconvenience. They agreed to divorce and were going to sign the papers upon his return from his latest overseas adventure. However, they never signed the papers as Nick died during a terrorist act.

During the next five plus years, the widow raised her two sons and opened up a very successful import business. However, her world spins off kilter when Nick arrives at her door and glibly announces: "HI HONEY, I'M HOME". Nick swears his captivity forced him to reassess his values, resulting in a changed person who believes that God has given him a second chance with his family. Kathryn refuses to believe him, but allows him time with their children. Soon, the three males bond and launch a campaign to persuade Kathryn that Nick has changed and belongs with all of them as part of a functioning, loving family.

HI HONEY, I'M HOME is a poignant yet very humorous contemporary relationship drama. The inspirational story line is filled with pathos and jocularity as the two children amusingly work to bring their parents back together. The metamorphosis of Nick from family deserter to full family supporter is well designed, believable, and will touch many hearts. Linda Windsor scribes a warm, uplifting tale that leaves the audience feeling positive towards the future if they embrace the values inspired by love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hi Honey, I'm Home; Rings True, July 30, 2000

Lindsey Van Wyk (Des Moines, IA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hi Honey, I'm Home (Palisades Pure Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read some inspirational/Christian romances before, but this one by far beats all others I've read. Windsor has written a very believeable story in this book, and she describes the characters at a level more in-depth than most other contemporary authors. This book has made me think, and realize that the messages in it, of the Prodigal Son, the Christmas story, and the need to listen to God, and not take life into your own hands, are some of the most improtant lessons out there today. This would be a great book to give as a gift, or to buy for yourself, whatever the case, you won't put it down until you're done with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars My great introduction to inspirational romance, May 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Hi Honey, I'm Home (Palisades Pure Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm not really keen on starting on inspirational romances - my friends told me they tend to be on the preachy side. Yet I picked this one up because, looking at the cover, I thought it looked just like Harrison Ford. How can an Indiana Jones-Han Solo-Witnessphile like me resist?

I'm surprised to say that I absolutely adore this book! True, sometimes the characters dip into blandless with their goodness (especially the hero), but I'm never tempted to yawn or roll up my eyes the way I do when I watch most moralistic daytime TV movies. I don't mind having this two wonderful couple and their kids as a neighbour, in fact.

If they do make a TV movie out of this book, may I suggest Harrison Ford as the lead?
