From Publishers Weekly

Spousal abuse, illiteracy and disputed paternity are only a few of the contemporary issues that figure in this late 19th-century romance. When last seen in Wiggs's Halfway to Heaven, the scientific-minded Michael Rowan had broken off his relationship with hotheaded Helena Cabot, a society belle from an important family. Upon discovering she was pregnant, Helena accepted a marriage proposal from up-and-coming politician Troy Barnes. As this book opens, nine years have passed, Troy has discovered the deception right after the death of Helena's father and he has begun beating her. As readers will expect from one of Wiggs' resourceful heroines, Helena breaks from him and sets out on her own with her eight-year-old son. Her first impulse is to turn to Michael but, unaware that she's being abused and certain that his long-held secrets would repel her, he demurs. So she leases the rundown Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and proceeds to create a haven for other women in trouble. One of them helps Helena overcome her inability to read while Michael bonds with his newly discovered son. Wiggs has a knack for creating engaging characters, and her energetic prose shines through the pages. However, the romance between Helena and Michael is curiously tepid compared to their earlier sparks. Although it's not vintage Wiggs, her latest should please her fans, and to a lesser extent, readers new to her work.

Book Description

Beautiful, charming and respected as the wife of an ambitious senator, Helena Cabot is the leading lady of Saratoga Springs. But beneath the facade lies a terrible deception. Helena married for all the wrong reasons -- and discovered too late that her husband is a dangerous man. Fearing for her safety, she ends her marriage and flees to legendary Moon Lake Lodge, where she creates a refuge for other women in need of a safe haven. And there she finds the courage within to become the woman she was meant to be.

But Helena can't outrun her past. In desperation, she turns to Michael Rowan, a man she once loved, a man who broke her heart. A brilliant inventor, Michael is still ruggedly handsome, still defiantly unconventional. For Helena, the road to trusting Michael again is long and hard. And danger lies ahead. But Michael has just discovered a shattering truth . . . and a reason to stay and fight for the woman he once lost.

With a deft hand and a unique voice, acclaimed author Susan Wiggs creates an enchanting story that will take your breath away as it reaffirms the power of love and the magic of forgiveness.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Touching and beautiful, Avril 14 2003
Par Elizabeth (Seattle, WA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Susan Wiggs has already proven her talent as a writer with some amazing romance novels like Lord of the Night and The Charm School, and it's really nice to see her taking on this new kind of storytelling. She tells this one from the heart, and anyone who's read interviews with her on the subject of this book will see that she is best friends with her own sister and is therefore able to write something that's completely genuine and touching on the subject. For fans of her romance novels, there's still a love story involved, and for fans of simply great reading (or of just Susan Wiggs), this book satisfies across the board. I recommend this, or any of Susan's other books, for anyone who wants to read beautiful and genuine stories of being human.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Not the best but a must read if you are following the series, Déc 8 2002
Par Rose Chastain (www.aromancereview.com) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Courtesy of A Romance Review

Enchanted Afternoon takes place in Saratoga Springs, New York with a hero and heroine that have a big difference both in their background and education. Helena is born rich as a senator's daughter and Michael is a poor lad when they first met in Halfway To Heaven. Ironically, Helena is illiterate and Michael is a professor. Only their love and trust can heal their broken hearts and make a bright future together.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A love story to dream about, Oct. 8 2002
Par Un client
This is definitly one of Wiggs' best. She goes beyond the fairy tale to explore the real meaning of love and commitment. Helena and Michael started out on the wrong foot (some sizzling scenes in the previous book, Halfway to Heaven) and then drifted apart. The wrenching choices each one made are examined in detail. Helena finds herself in the worst possible place--with a husband who has turned on her, running for her life. When Michael comes back, it's not your typical hero to the rescue, but a realistic and emotional journey for the both of them.

There are some humorous scenes too. I still think about these characters and look forward to the next one.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Not very good
Susan Wiggs is a wonderful storyteller; however, this one is not very good. The main characters are flat and I wasn't able to care about them enough to even finish the book.
