5.0 out of 5 stars
An oldie but a goodie,
This review is from: Sarah's Child (Hardcover)
This book was first published in 1985, and at times it will seem a bit dated. Even though there are exceptions, the idea of the career oriented secretary starting an affair with the hard driving executive has sort of faded out in these times of sexual harrassment and hostile work environments. Nevertheless, if you consider it a bit of a period piece, you'll find this a delightful read. Rome is a sexy, aggressive business man who tragically lost his wife and two young sons in a car crash. A couple of years later he is still deeply grieving, but circumstances force him to spend some time with Sarah, his wife's former best friend and a beautiful co-worker that he has always found attractive. Sarah has long carried a secret torch for Rome, and despite her reservations she is privately thrilled when Rome starts pursing her. Rome obviously has some deep emotional issues to address, and Sarah's patient understanding and loving support allow him to work out those issues. At the same time, Rome's forceful personality help push her out of her cool reserve. The biggest hurdle facing them is that Sarah would love to have Rome's baby, but he is unable to tolerate the thought of another child. There's not much plot here, but the relationship is very intense and manages to carry the book quite nicely on its own. A very satisfying book that you can read again and again.

Something Lacking -- Least favorite of Linda Howard Books,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sarah's Child (Hardcover)
I'm a big Linda Howard fan. But I found myself very unsatisfied with Sarah's child. While the plot was okay, I found Rome's complete self-absorbtion to be a real turn-off. And while I liked Sarah for standing for her convictions in some parts of the book, I kept waiting for her to call Rome on being the selfish jerk he was. I was really disappointed in this book and glad that I checked it out from the Library rather than buying it.

Deserves 0 stars!,
By mahikahn (Columbus, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sarah'S Child (Paperback)
I love Linda Howard but I hated this book! You have Rome who only marries Sarah so he can have regular sex. He treats her like a hooker (except she doesn't get paid), coming to "her" room, then leaving when he's done.When she gets pregnant (his fault more than hers) he wants her to get an abortion. A man who lost two children to a terrible accident wants to intentionally get rid of another one? While she's pregnant he won't go near her after she starts to show and never does one kind thing for her. Doesn't rub her back, fix her meals, just basically ignores her. Leaves her to give birth to HIS child alone. Then she is so spineless that she lets him climb back into "her" bed afterwards. Worse, she allows him to put her in a position where she hides her child while he pretends it doesn't exist. What kind of mother is she?What kind of creature is he? These are two of the worst characters I've ever read. She is a total wimp and he is a cold-hearted jerk!
