A n imaginative, insightful romance that makes a difference.,
By Pat Barton(b.j.-p.a.barton@worldnet.att.net) (Glen Mills, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Second Time Around (Mass Market Paperback)
SECOND TIME AROUND is a unique contemporary romance. The heroine, Jennie Carmichael, is wheelchair-bound. She works for a private detective, Sam Magee, and is secretly in love with him. One day she leaves the office to get copies made and falls down the steps in her wheelchair.When she awakens from her fall, she realizes that she is now able to walk. She is taken to Sam's office only to learn that she is no longer Jennie, but has been given a second chance at love, and has come back to life in another person's body. Not only has a month elapsed since Jennie's death from the fall on the stairs, but the body she now possesses is that of Sam's ex-wife, Maxine. From this point the novel takes off in imaginative ways. Jennie/Maxine has to balance between her love for Sam, her knowledge of him as Jennie, and her lapse of memory as Maxine. Someone is trying to kill Maxine and both she and Sam work to untangle the mystery. In so doing, Jennie/Maxine discovers that Sam was in love with the real Jennie and she now must make him fall in love with the "new" Maxine. Tina Wainscott writes with humor, imagination and compassion. She writes from the perspective of a handicapped person, and adds intensity to the novel by recounting the difficulties a wheelchair bound person encounters in everyday life. This is a wonderful read. It makes you laugh, cry, think, and yet soothes you with a magical love story. It's a great book to relax with at any time of the year.

Not worth it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Second Time Around (Mass Market Paperback)
I am sorry to say that this book was not all it was cracked up to be. The summary sounded great and at first it was fine but then it started to go down hill. Some might find this book enjoyable but I didn't.

Great and different story line. Can't wait to read the rest of Tina Wainscott's books. Delightfully entertaining, great romance, compelling characters and plenty of dialogue that keeps this story moving. Pat Gasko
