Product Description
A New York Times Bestseller

Hurt by a disastrous marriage, Shelley Browning is back at university, a little older and a lot wiser. Despite that, she takes a class taught by Grant Chapman, who -- ten years ago -- was the best-looking teacher in her high school. He had left to take a job as a congressional aide, but not before "the kiss," -- a single, unplanned kiss that haunted Shelley as a symbol of "what might have been."

1.0 out of 5 stars Please Don't, June 2, 2002

By	"valeriemilton" (Neptune Township, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Kiss Remembered (Audio Cassette)

I bought this audio book to keep me company on a long car ride. After about an hour of the same nonsense over and over again I threw it out at the rest stop. I threw it out just in case I got so deperate on my journey that I'd put it back in.

This book is a disservice to the readers. It would do no good for me to describe it. Plotless, stupid, repetitive, and an insult to readers. It should be recalled.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, May 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A Kiss Remembered (Mass Market Paperback)

I just finished reading A Kiss Remembered by Sandra Brown and I will have to say tht I'm more than disappointed. I could tell that it was one of her earlier books. It was so predictable. I definitely would not have bought this book for full price if I had known what a disappointment it was going to be. I love Sandra Brown books; she's one of my most favorite authors. But this did not live up to my expectations.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another one that should have stayed in the archives, April 20, 2006

By	Tracy Vest (Northern California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Kiss Remembered (Audio Cassette)

Shelley is a divorcee who has recently returned to college to finish the degree she abandoned just before getting married. Her professor is none other than Grant Chapman, the high school teacher with whom she shared a tantalizing kiss 10 years earlier when he taught civics.

Grant left school immediately following that illicit afternoon kiss, and took a job as a congressional aide. He leaves that job due to another potential scandal. He is once again attracted to Shelley, and since she is no longer underage (thus off limits), he asks her out. In order to find happiness the two must overcome many obstacles including former lovers and a dean that is suspicious of Grant's motivations.

The story is dated, the conflict nearly non-existent, and the dialog a little trite at times. Recommended reading only for anyone who had a crush on a teacher.
