Editorial Reviews

Product Description

After a bitter divorce, all cookbook author Allison Sawyer needs is some peace--and to lose herself in a kitchen, whipping up delectable meals. But the rustic retreat in the mountains offers more than seclusion. It offers one friendly and very fine neighbor.

Torn between her attraction to Brock Lightner and her reluctance to get close to another man--especially one she suspects might be working for her powerful ex--Allison keeps her distance. But the remote, idyllic setting and Brock's rugged sensuality are an enticing combination.

A private investigator looking to make a fresh start, Brock is intrigued by Allison. Who or what is she running from? And how can he convince her that he'll do anything to protect her...and to have the chance to love her?

1.0 out of 5 stars Was this supposed to be a historical romance?, March 2, 2009

By	J. Craig "book lover" (atlanta) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am normally a fan of Gwynne Forster but not this book. Private Lives should have a historical romance due to the ancient sayings from time past. Who uses lines like this "I am not in the mood to fence with you woman" or "Why are you trying me" and my personal favorite "Get in me". I forced myself to finish reading this book and I will be wary with any future books by Mrs. Forster.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, February 25, 2009

By	M. Francis "romance junkie" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't bother to buy... the premise of the book was good, but the writing didn't flow and the conversations were stilted and didn't flow..... I was very disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it!!!!, March 3, 2009

By	bookworm "avidreader" (greenville,il) - See all my reviews

I agree with the other reviewers. This book was poorly written and choppy. Some of the chapters were so choppy, it was like sections of dialogue were missing.

After spending 5.99 I made myself read it. In PRIVATE LIVES by Gwynne Forster there were so many cuts in the book that the story was very hard to follow. Several chapters lost their meaning. I have read many of Ms Forster's books. This was by far the worse I have ever read. Why pay 5.99 for a book the size of the Blaze Books?? If I am paying $5.99 or more I expect a book of 350 or more pages

I would suggest Ms. Forster read romance books by Brenda Jackson, Rochelle Alers, or Lori Foster to see what 21st century women like to see in a male lead character.
