But when Janice Caldwell, his prominent and wealthy wife, learned of this, she had plans of her own, quickly ending the romance.When Allyson meets real estate attorney Marc Kelsey, she embarks on a new friendship that slowly develops. Kyle, however, attempts to rekindle his romance with her and Allyson cannot keep herself from falling under his spell once more. She dreams of a future with her baby's father; she yearns for the three of them to live as a family. But when Allyson finds her best friend, Felicia, in bed with Kyle, her dreams are finally destroyed. And, Marc is always there for her, despite her confusion and obstacles. Allyson realizes that Marc is the man with whom she'll truly find happiness. When Kyle is suddenly hospitalized, however, everything rapidly changes, and Allyson faces the most difficult decisions of her life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, August 23, 2004
For anyone out there that is looking for a great new book to read, pick this up. Its not just for us cape cod locals.
Im not sure if the last reviewer has any idea what it means to read a fictional love story?? but heres my take on this book. YAHOO! for once there is an author out there that isnt so worried about listing exact details of places (like THE HEIGHT OF A BULDING based on local business code as the last review suggested?), that your not bogged down with petty little details. instead the pages are filled with a story that could have happened to any one of us in the 80's. It is my opinion that we have come a long way in how we handle gay relationships now vs. 20 years ago, but this author brings us back to how it used to be, and she does it without being ANTI gay.
You will climb into the heart and mind of Allyson and get involved in her decisions. (usually i was yelling NO NO NO, dont let him do this to you again)!
This book made me smile and it made me mad, and it made me cry. Not something i get from every book I pick up. And all of this from a first time author! Never would have known if i hadnt read it in black and white right here on these pages!! I too wish you the best of luck on your next book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, November 19, 2003
By A Customer
From wife: I adored the book from page one. I couldn't wait to go from one chapter to another. I found it a better read than any of the bestsellers I have read. Allyson stood by the father of her child during his illness. From day one, I would have dumped him. I hope this will become a movie with Julia Roberts in the lead. Another Oscar for Julia for sure. As for another review about fictionalized Cape Cod, No Regrets is fiction, pure fiction, with a riveting, true-to-life plot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to the world of writers!, November 19, 2003
By A Customer
This book I would recommend to my family and friends! Once you dive into this book it seemed impossible to put it down. Romance, a kind of love that seems to be lost these days, has gotten a new life threw your writing and imagination. As I looked at a review written by a women in Brewster I saw that this poor lady must have fallen into the realm of lost romance and needs to open the shades in her life and let the sun shine through! Keep up the good work Donna and don't let negative comments mislead you, use these comments to help you. I can't wait to read your next novel! Good Luck
