Great story,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Older Woman (Paperback)
Back Cover description: NO GUTS, NO GLORY...Or so paratrooper Captain Cal Doyle believed. But seduce tough-talking Nurse Katherine Meehan, who'd tended to him after his copter crash? Impossible! True, they were now next-door neighbors--yet they were years apart. And while Kate had survived breast cancer, Cal had barely survived hell... So just because Cal caught Kate crying in the rain...and her fussy feline cozied up to him...and the church ladies started matchmaking...and Kate suddenly looked so damn desirable--were those any reasons for a wounded warrior to woo a reluctant older woman? Besides, between Kates's stubborn defenses and Cal's mule-headed machismo, could these two survivors...survive each other?This story is written from the guy's point of view. You don't realize it till you are really into the plot. This is a really nice guy. So is Kate and the church ladies. I even liked the cat in this one! The story moves, the pacing is smooth and the characters don't whine. Get it, read it.

Romance told mostly from hero's POV,
By Stephanie Smith "English major in progress" (Blanchester, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Older Woman (Paperback)
Calvin "Bugs" Doyle is recuperating from wounds received from a Black Hawk helicopter crash. He endured months in the hospital undergoing surgery, then rehab. He can't walk without pain. He doesn't know when (or if) he can return to the military. He has to cope when Rita Warren, the woman he loved but who didn't love him in return, marries his superior officer.Everything changes when Bugs' landlady, Mrs. Bee, sends him over to see why Katherine Meehan, their next door neighbor, is standing out in the rain. He goes, in spite of his physical pain, to humor Mrs. Bee and also because he knows Kate. She was one of the nurses who took care of him after his crash. What develops is a friendship, then attraction, then love between a younger man and an older woman. Cheryl Reavis takes her time with this book, allowing us to get to know Bugs *very* well. The book is mostly in his POV -- which is unique in romantic fiction. Kate remains distant through most of the story because of this, but it's believable since she's a tough woman trying to keep up a strong front to deal with the pain of her past.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!,
By Cheryl St.John "Cheryl St.John" (the Midwest USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Older Woman (Paperback)
THE OLDER WOMAN held my attention from the get-go and didn't turn me lose until the end. A sexy tortured hero, a heroine with issues of her own, and a down-to-earth situation combined to make this story a winner in my book. I highly recommend it.
