Was I reading another book?, January 18, 2009
This review is from: Love Is (Hardcover)
Amanda "Creole" Hawk was injured in an automobile accident- she has to remain sightless (her eyes are bandaged) and heal for six weeks so she can see again. She's 23 years old, spoiled, obnoxious and has gone through five caretakers in five days. Get the picture? Enter John Parker Rollin ,alias "Mr. Parker", who doesn't put up with anything and has her father's backing on this. Creole immediately wants him gone but it doesn't work out that way.
Their fathers have known each other since they were young and are best friends plus they work together. The "kids" saw each other briefly during their childhood. Creole was jealous and didn't like Johnnie. Apparently that feeling stayed with her into adulthood. Mind you, if Creole thought about it, I don't see how she could not like him anymore. Johnnie, "Mr. Parker", never did anything to her as a child; it all had to do with their fathers and their former wives, Creole's and Johnnie's mothers.
Currently Johnnie is writing a thesis paper and he is observing Creole's sightlessness and writing down how she feels. Granted, this is a little underhanded but she is so cranky that I didn't mind him doing this. In the span of a few short weeks they fall in love even though she is still obnoxious and he hasn't told her who he is or what he is doing. Sorry, I just didn't feel the love was there or they were meant to be together.
Save yourself some money. If you think the story is that great from what the other reviewers have told you, get it from the library. I can't recommend this book and would hate to see anyone waste their money.

light romance, August 21, 2006
This review is from: Love Is (Hardcover)
A very fast read; only about 180 pages. It's about a southern bell who has an accident and falls in love with...well, I can't give the whole story away. It's a charming read. No hot and steemy scenes but very cute romance.

This book is a heart grabber!!!, September 10, 1999

This review is from: Love Is (Hardcover)
This book was excellent. It reaches in and grabs your heart making you anxious to turn the next page. If you are a romantic soul, you will love reading Carolyn's books and will be searching for her everywhere. (P.S. She also writes under the pen Abby Gray.) PGR
