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.
