I confess to not enjoying LARA'S LOVER nearly as much as the first book of the miniseries. Richard's plot line feels overblown, and crosses from something entertaining into reading soap opera. I'm from just the spot in Arkansas that the fictional town Lewiston is located. While Richards definitely captures the small town mentality, the good ol' boy system, and gossip with cleverness, sometimes passages of truth don't blend well in a fictional context. She was far more successful handling both plot and gossip, reigning in before going overboard, with SOPHIE'S SCANDAL, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Nevertheless, LARA'S LOVER is worth perusing, if only because it's one of the rare romances daring enough to make the hero an ex-con. And I can't wait to read the third piece of this miniseries. Recommended.

Okay, at first, I was all excited to read this book. But, the back of it is very misleading. I thought that it was going to be about a man finding out he was a father after several years But, I was completely mistaken. It was nothing like that. I guess part of the reason the story was bad for me is that I didn't get the first part of the series. And based on this book, I'm glad that I didn't.
