Product Description

For Isabel and Sam Lambert it was love at first sight. And since that night, they've created a good life together. But when a stranger named Mark Taylor knocks on their door claiming to be Sam's son, Isabel is shocked to realize that her life might all be lies.

Isabel wants answers from Sam, but he's retreated, leaving her to sort through all they've shared and decide what kind of future they have. Reconciling the past is one thing; moving on in the present is another. Can she trust him--and her love--enough to rebuild their relationship?

1.0 out of 5 stars Whatever you do I will take you back, March 26, 2011

This review is from: Stranger at the Door (Harlequin Super Romance) (Kindle Edition)

It was not a fling. The husband had strong feelings for the other woman. He kept a picture of her. He brought her flowers. He did not have any feelings for his wife. Throughout the book he ranted about his feelings. The wife was worse. Whatever you do I will take you back. She did not seem to bother that much about the cheating.

4.0 out of 5 stars engaging family drama, September 3, 2008

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Stranger At The Door (Harlequin Super Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

In Savannah Isabel "Izzy" Lambert is stunned when a forty something man arrives at her door claiming to be the son of her husband, Sam. Mark Taylor explains that his mom Diane never told Sam as she raised him with Rolf Taylor whose name is on the birth certificate. Izzy believes the man as he looks like her spouse; she is upset that her beloved faithful Sam cheated on her during his Viet Nam War tour, but she also demands he see his offspring but Sam refuses.

Sam is shocked and runs away to have time to think what to do about his disappointed wife and the son he never knew he sired. He knows he must make amends with his Izzy or watch four and a half decades of marriage end. He also must decide about Mark, whom he wants to meet but fears the outcome especially how his adult daughters will react to an older half brother.

This is an engaging family drama as the past comes back to haunt the present and perhaps destroy the future. The cast is very strong especially the lead trio. Although there are too many introspective moments slowing down the pace even as that adds depth to the sexagenarian couple, fans who will appreciate a deep character driven relationship drama will want to read STRANGER AT THE DOOR as Izzy realizes Mark is Sam's offspring from his looks and demeanor.
