The Playboy and the Widow is a wonderful story that makes you laugh and cry at the same time. Macomber grabs you on the first page and never lets you down; in fact, when you get to the last page, you'll wish there were more exciting events in these people's lives. The plot is realistic, believable and thoroughly enjoyable. And everything isn't always perfect because these are REAL people. After reading this Macomber novel, you will want to read everything she has written

If you want a read that is easy, sweet, realistic and just a good story- this is it. It is one of DM's earlier books but I did enjoy it. I found it on the library shelf and thought why not give it a try. Glad I did. It is a story of Diana, a struggling widow raising 2 preteen daughters. She just isn't ready to give up the ghost of her dead husband- the thought of meeting and dating others is just not appetizing to her. By accident Diana meets Cliff when Cliff comes over to help with a plumbing matter. Cliff was at the neighbors' house when Diana called for help. Cliff is a playboy- good looking, has money, a prestigious job and dates models- no doubt about it and has NO plans to change his lifestyle. But there is just something simple, sweet, and desirable about Diana - and her girls. And Cliff can't get enough... He realizes that he's not happy with his life the way things are. Diana on the other hand has to decide whether Cliff is worth taking a risk of being hurt- and how is he going to fit in with the girls?

The Playboy and the Widow tells the story of a struggling widow with two preteen daughters who meets a man describable only by the word playboy. This book has characters who are ordinary, believeable, realistic. It is so nice to read about people who have everyday problems. It is so easy to relate to them and share in their victories. After all, not everyone is rich and set for life. Ms. Macomber did an excellent job of combining humor, seriousness and steamy love scenes. Wow!!!

I have read many Debbie Macomber books, but this is my favorite. I really felt as though I knew Diana and Cliff. I like the way Cliff seemed to put Diana first. I wish there was a sequel !!

This is the first book I have read by Debbie Macomber. I read it in one sitting, could not put it down. Very romantic. Look forward to reading more of her books.

I just loved this book, it was by far one of the best i have read. It took me only hours because i could not put it down. I just love this authur and her stories, they are never boring always fast pace.

THE PLAYBOY AND THE WIDOW

An earthy widow and mother of two was a far cry from the stylish glamour girls dashing man-about-town Cliff Howard usually dated. But one look into Diana Collins's soulful brown eyes had him thinking about apple pie instead of "cheesecake." Her irresistible blend of womanly strength and heartbreaking vulnerability enticed him as beauty never had.

Try as he might to resist, "ladykiller" Cliff was soon forced to admit that this plucky widow and her rambunctious daughter could grow on a man. But could they start a dyed-in-the-wool playboy dreaming of domestic bliss?
