Book Description

A beloved classic by Linda Howard to captivate old fans and new, a compelling novel that tests the fragile bonds of love in a deeply moving story of the healing gift of selfless devotion . . .

A tragic accident took everything that mattered to Rome Mattews -- his wife, Diana, and their two little boys. And it robbed Sarah Harper of her best friend. In the two years since the tragedy, Sarah has wanted to reach out to Rome, but she knew she needed to stay away, guarding the secret she had kept from him and Diana all those years -- that she was in love with her best friend's husband.

But now Rome needs her. And though another woman will hold his heart forever, Sarah agrees to be his wife, knowing that everything has a price, including love. Then something totally unexpected rekindles her hidden hope that a marriage of convenience will become a union of love. Now it all comes down to her husband. Will Rome keep fighting his own growing need for a woman who dares him to believe there are second chances in life . . . or will he give in to the power of love and miracles? --Ce texte provient d'une �dition qui n'est plus publi�e ou qui est non diponible.

For years, Sarah Harper has kept her love for Rome Matthews a secret. She had watched in silence as he married her best friend, smiled to hide the pain as they gave birth to the family she had always wanted for herself. When tragedy strikes and Rome is left alone, Sarah offers him solace. And when he asks her to marry him, Sarah is ecstatic. Their marriage is perfect in every way--except for Rome's rule of no children. And then one day Sarah wakes up pregnant. As seen on Romance Classics television. --Ce texte provient d'une �dition qui n'est plus publi�e ou qui est non diponible.

This review is from: Sarah's child (Mass Market Paperback)

It was hard to find a sympathetic shoulder for the main character "Rome Matthews". I found his character to be very demanding and not very understanding of his wife plus a oversexed male. Plus why stick around with someone of his character or personality? This book is not worth it and what is ironic is that I happen to be a Linda Howard fan.

This review is from: Sarah's child (Hardcover)

I dare anyone to read "Sarah's Child" and not fall in love with Linda Howard. I have read thousands of romance authors from every genre and none manage to combine the realistic emotions with realistic sexuality the way Linda Howard does. Her male characters are very masculine, intelligent, a little jaded, and each one is distinctive. Her female characters warm your heart with their real-life dilemmas. They have a feminine strength of mind and endure heart-wrenching traumas. Traumas that are original (originality is hard to come across in romance books). Her books are not filled with beautiful scenery and sexual euphemisms. The unforgettable couple, their earthy encounters, and their heart-wrenching emotions are all I remember. Rome is hard-edged and powerful with strong sexual needs. He thinks Sarah is a cool blond. She is his wife's best friend even though they are opposites in every way. Sarah's coolness actually is a shield to hide her shyness and insecurity. She met Rome at work and it was love at first sight. She takes her best friend, Diane, to the company picnic and Rome and Diane fall in love. They marry and proceed to have two adorable, rambuncous boys who Sarah loves as well. Diane and the boys are involved in a fatal accident. Their deaths leave Rome emotionally scarred. He'll never allow himself to love again and cannot bear to be around children. All Sarah ever wanted was a secure home life with a husband and kids. When Rome married Diane she resigned herself to becoming a career woman. Before meeting Rome, the outgoing and confident Diane always swore to have a grand career and never marry. The reversal of their dreams when they meet Rome is ironic. Rome has always found Sarah's coolness to him intriguing, even during his marraige. He always wants to find out what is underneath the cool, calm surface of her personality. A year after his family's death, he finally decides to pack up their belongings and asks Sarah if she wants to come by and see what she would like to keep before he gives it all away. He and Sarah have a sexually explosive encounter that makes him realize he'd like to have a real relationship again instead of the one-night-stands he has been punishing himself with. He's frank with Sarah and tells her he'll never love again but he'll be faithful. He also tells her he'll never father another child, so if she wants children to tell him and he'll get out of her life. She accepts the small part of himself he gives her and quietly sets about the business of loving him. How Sarah, with her calm serenity changes his heart, along with the help of a little bundle he refuses to acknowledge, is a story that rips your heart out and returns it with soul-shattering intensity. Be aware that all of her heros are super sexy hunks and alpha males who usually need to meet just the right woman (for them) to turn them into truly loving men. Other reviewers must want the same heroine in every novel to be "strong, go-to-hell, tell 'em what for" heroines, but I love that Linda Howard makes every heroine different and she knows that men and women show their love in different ways. Her heroines have an outer softness with a strong core of values that they never deviate from and they ALWAYS teach the hero what love really is.

I also recommend you read, "The Cutting Edge", "Loving Evangeline", "Duncan's Bride", "MacKenzie's Mountain", "White Lies". All of these have the same emotional intensity. I periodically read them over again to remind myself what quality romance writing is all about.

This review is from: Sarah's child (Mass Market Paperback)

I really love Linda Howard's books but this one left me cold. If you're looking for a "feel good" book this isn't it! I just could not like the hero (kept thinking 'what a creep!'). Rome is a selfish and oversexed jerk and Sarah should have told him to go and take a flying leap!
