written in 81 under a non de plume,

and it shows.Wow, one other thing it shows is how far Delinsky has matured with her writing. Compare this to her "Coast Road", or "Lake News" and you will be stunned. This is basically a 7.99 harlequin style romance. The leads have to go through a lot of foolish misunderstandings before they get their happy ending. The prose is very, very simplistic and stilted . Go ahead and count the times the word- thus - is used. This is no layered examination of relationships. For what it is, it is a quick easy read. You won't remember the characters afterwards. Two people meet, they simply can't fight or deny the physical attraction. A misunderstanding occurs and they go their separate ways. Only to find one another 8yrs later. It takes them the whole book to learn how to communicate:} These are no young kids, either. I have to say,in these older romance novels, these brutish men and their, chest beating ways just don't read quite as comfortably in these somewhat enlightened days. I expect if a man spoke to me or man-handled me like our "hero" does in this book, I would have him charged with assault. Buy it cheap and used, so you won't kick yourself for spending 8 bucks.

This review is from: Sweet Ember (Mass Market Paperback)
This book written early in her career under a psuedonym and republished under her name and a new cover.....is a good book but lacks the maturity of her later writings. However, it was refreshing and an easy read.
