4.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended by WordWeaving, December 11, 2000

By	C. Penn "WordWeaving" (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

It will take more than a letter from a pushy attorney to get April Fairchild off of Tom McKittrick's estate. She signed a lease with his grandfather giving her years longer; besides, she has no where else to go. The caretaker's cottage and the surrounding gardens have become home over the last six years and also is the only place she has ever found peace. This place also provides April's livelihood. Her roses are prizewinners, and she sells sachets and potpourri at the local farmer's market.

Suzanne Barrett has a flair for story telling, gently weaving her romantic plot with a healthy dose of conflict and attraction. The vivid characterizations draw the reader into the story; to the point you can smell the lavender and see the dirt caked on Tom's shoes. Even her secondary characters are vividly fun, especially the long hair physics teacher who inspires jealously in Tom's unwilling heart. HEART AT RISK is a delightful afternoon's read; I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This story pulls you in and grabs hold of your heart, January 3, 2001

By	Sharon Galligar Chance (Wichita Falls, Texas) - See all my reviews

Have you ever wanted to be a character in a book? Well, I want to be April Fairchild. Even her name is delightful. April is a gal who just wants to be by herself to work in the beautiful gardens surrounding her home, kept company by her troop of loving cats. But soon April's serenity is cracked a bit when Tom McKittrick, the handsome grandson of her landlord, tries to toss her out of her paradise. As the young couple try to come to a compromise and work together, the inevitable happens and they fall in love. Sigh..... Suzanne Barrett once again shares her rare talent for great description and wonderous storytelling in this delightful tale. You can almost smell the fragrant roses of April's garden and feel the tickle of the kittens' whiskers in Suzanne's words. I can't wait to see what other great tales she has to share with us! -Sharon Galligar Chance
