Lynsey Stevens' Forbidden Wine June 2, 2008
From the back cover:
Star-crossed lovers from the very first!
Bree thought there was no way Health Durant would ever consider her worthy of his love.To begin with, he was old enough to be her father, while she was barley nineteen.
Secondly, Heath was rich,sophisticated,wordly Bree thought miserably of her childhood in one foster home after another and the parents she hardly remembered.
but these were monor points compared to the fact that he thought little Ben, abandoned by Bree's irresponsible isiter into her care, was her own illegitimate baby. He probably had a pretty clear opinion of her morals!
My take:
I really enjoyed this book. The stroy was well written and the chareacters were well developed. Lynsey Stevens made the scenes in this book very steamy for a romance written in the 83. I am going to look for more of her books right now.
second chances and new love May 31, 2004
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is the story of Briane and Heath. Briane was an orphan with an irresponsible sister, Briony, who had a child with her boyfriend, Reece. However, neither wanted the kid so Briane loved him. Eventually, they disappeared with her holding the bag when Reece's father swooped in and mistakenly thinking the girl was actually Briony and the boy was her son, his grandson, insisted they return to his home with him. Love blossomed between them almost immediately, despite the 19 year age difference. In actuality, not as much fuss was made of the age difference than Heath's past with his deceased wife and her acquaintances that still cast a shadow. I didn't find the age difference at all offensive, but I did find some of the treatment that Heath gave Bree hard to take. But, unfortunately, this was typical in romance novels of this era. Women get treated like dirt and take it without question, and the man eventually realizes his mistake and SOMETIMES apologizes for past behavior. This was a sweet story of second chances for Heath, a very cynical man, and new love for Bree, who was very innocent. So, I recommend this book, for the romance if nothing else and you're willing to overlook some of the era's ideas of how women should be treated.
