Book Description

Publication Date: April 2001

A New York Times Bestselling Author

It wasn't the best time for Karen to visit her elderly friend. With a burning fever and a broken down car, she shuddered to think what could have happened if Brice hadn't pulled her from the drifts. As a doctor, his healing instincts took over. But being snowbound with the man who once tried to have her jailed was dangerous territory. Sometimes fate offers the chance to heal, forgive, and understand that things happen for a reason.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simply enjoyable, January 20, 2005

By 

Donna K. "bookcrosser" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: T L C (Mass Market Paperback)

A well-written, realistic story illustrating the growth of a deep and abiding love between two very complex and compassionate people. The wintery upstate New York setting is described in such vivid detail. A quick, easy 'feel-good' read, which reminds us all the importance of taking good care of ourselves, especially when in the form of TLC provided by a loving partner. Very romantic, and although it did contain some very steamy sensual scenes, the focus was on the love rather than the sex.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book, February 15, 2009

This review is from: T.L.C. (Mass Market Paperback)

I first read TLC when I was about 16yrs old, I stupidly allowed someone to borrow it, and never saw it again. For years I always thought about it, then along came search engines and computers and voila I have another copy. I find this book lovely, it is light and easy to read with humour and some parts that curl your toes. I can read it over and over and have. Thank you Barbara for a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best I've ever read (and re-read!), June 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: T.L.C. (Paperback)

This is one of my favorite Delinsky books (second only to Commitments). It is a completely satisfying read - well-drawn characters (sympathetic and complex) that evolve throughout the book, and a setting that is described in perfect detail. A real joy.
