From Library Journal

Six months after Rachel Tanner's husband, Gary, dies in an automobile accident, the insurance company rules that his death was a suicide. Refusing to believe that Gary would kill himself, Rachel leaves their apple orchard home and goes to San Francisco, where her husband kept an apartment to use weekdays. She talks his best friend and partner, Dylan Prescott, into searching the apartment with her. As the two look for clues, Rachel notices a perfume bottle on Gary's dresser...and it isn't hers. Later, when Dylan brings Gary's things home to Rachel he impulsively offers to finish the dream house that Gary had started for Rachel. As indications of Gary's other life begin to surface, Dylan has a hard time keeping his own secret hidden he's loved Rachel since he first set eyes on her. A second love story, that of Rachel's younger sister, is skillfully interwoven throughout the book. Although the plot is a classic retread, RITA Award winner Freethy has penned another exceptional piece of fiction. Shelley Mosley, Glendale P.L., AZ

Highly recommended
The characters in Barbara Freethy's books are always so well drawn. They feel very real and come alive for me. Rachel is dealing with the loss of her husband while still trying to hold the rest of her family together. Dylan is dealing with the loss of his best friend and the feelings he's always had for Rachel. These two have to come together to find the truth and it's a very well-written story. I enjoyed it a great deal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Romantic tale of second chances May 3, 2005

By Tracy Vest TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Mass Market Paperback

Dylan has always been in love with Rachel, but she has been a forbidden fruit, as she was married to his business partner, Gary. They shared a passionate kiss on the eve of her wedding, when she expressed doubts about her wedding. Dylan has managed to keep his distance for the last nine years, only to be thrust back into her world after Gary dies in a tragic car accident. Rachel discovers that Gary might have led a double life and wants Dylan's help in piecing together Gary's last days.

Upon arriving at Rachel's family farm, he is saddened to see the frame of the dream house that Gary designed for Rachel. This was the one project that Dylan could not bring himself to complete with Gary, but decides that he will do this one last thing for Gary. This brings him closer to Rachel and her family. Little do they both know that they still have feelings for each other, and that passionate kiss is still on both their minds.

This is a poignant tale of first love, loss, and finding a way to love again. With a romantic sub-story about a magical apple tree that bears fruit that casts a spell on lovers; according to legend. It also begs the question of who Rachel was really meant to ultimately be with.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love in the apple orchard August 7, 2012

By Miranda731

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

While I usually love Freethy's books, I can't give this one the top 5 star mark because I find the heroine and her sister to be a bit naive for American women in the modern age. However, despite its faults, it still turns into a good "second chance" love story. The hangups of the 2 sisters and the hero are partly explained by their backgrounds, but there are things that give me pause (like too many unnecessary secrets being kept). That being said, it's still a good read for a rainy day.
