review 1: This book irritated me more than anything I've read in a while. I give it two stars only because I loved 'Ben'. He was such a cute kid. Not realistic at all but cute. Most romance novels tend to rush to the ultimate "I love you so much" thing. This was the exact opposite. I've never seen it drawn out so painfully slow before. It ruined the whole moment of when the two main characters finally see each other. I was feeling more "FINALLY!!" than "AWWWW!!". There were so many things that irritated me that I won't even begin to list them all. I'll just say that the only reason this isn't going on my "I give up" shelf is that I wanted to know what happened with little Ben but had to wait until the very end to have a super quick tie up for that part of the story. Highl... morey disappointed. I'll be avoiding this author in the future.
review 2: This book was a really heartwarming, down-to-earth, beautiful romance! I really enjoyed reading this book, Lisa and Tony's story was so realistic and lovely. Lee (Lisa) and Tony were in love as teenagers, but circumstances and life kept them from being together. As adults they have both striven to achieve different dreams and goals, but meet again when Lee must return to her home town to see to her family home. The main characters were both believable and likable. Lee is a very independent, intelligent, and career-minded woman. She is an extremely successful news anchor, with the perfect fiance, and seemingly perfect life. Tony is just wonderful. He used to be a major league baseball player, but quit playing to spend more time with his son (how sweet). He bought the ranch where he grew up and is content with his life. When they meet again, there are a lot of things from the past that need laid to rest, but boy do sparks fly! You can tell from that first moment that they have unresolved feelings for each other. The author did a wonderful job of making you feel what Lisa & Tony feel, and her characters were really well developed. I loved that she took her time to really hash out the characters, without making it feel like the story was progressing too slowly. Overall it was a great read, and I really liked it! ***Review copy provided by author*** less
