Product Description

From AudioFile

Liz Dykhouse's emotional tone brings to life this story of romance between Clay Forrester and Catherine Anderson. Clay, a wealthy law student, and Catherine, a studious undergrad, have one momentous night together when they meet on a blind date. Several months later, Catherine informs Clay that she is pregnant with his child. Catherine's stubborn stoicism in her desire to raise her child alone is revealed through Dykhouse's cautious, defensive tone. Further, Dykhouse's deep, sometimes caustic, voice betrays Clay's confusion concerning his impending fatherhood and the life-changing decisions he faces. Dykhouse's mellifluous vocalization highlights the beauty of this timeless story of the power of love.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Absolutely Marvelous, Aoû 7 2008
Par Jillian MacLean (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This book is quite possibly the most wonderful, soul-stirring piece of romantic fiction that I have ever read. Spencer's lively, effortless prose causes the characters to come alive in the reader's mind. I could not help but feel for Catherine and Clay as they muddled through an unplanned pregancy, a marriage of convenience with an agreed upon duration, their own insecurities, and the resultant misunderstandings.

This book was extremely well written, differing greatly from the formulaic romance novels that feel as if the plot has been written around the sex scenes. It was such a pleasure to read a romance novel that put the characters and their evolving story first. Although the sexual tension between Clay and Catherine was an ever-present aspect of the book, it did not eclipse all other aspects of their evolving relationship, making the characters feel whole instead of hallow.

In some ways, I imagine that this is the type of romance novel that a mother might wish her daughter to read because, although Clay and Catherine's relationship begins as a result of a pregnacy wrought by a one night stand, the reader feels as though she is learning (or remembering) along with Clay and Catherine that there is far more to a relationship--and to romance--than physically gratifying sex.

This is the first book that I have read by LaVyrle Spencer. It will, however, definitely not be the last.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Worth waiting 12 years to complete, Juil 5 2004
Par jocobeth (Pretoria, South Africa) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I first read this book when I was 12 years old,and since I was supposed to be reading Sweet dreams and Nacy Drew at that age instead of reading grown up books, I had to read the book on the sly, my older sister had borrowed the book from her friend and just before I completed it she had to return it, The story stayed in my mind all this time, I didn't know who the author was but I remembered the title and the story line and all this years I have wanted to find this book so I could finally complete it, I ordered this book a month ago through a local bookstore and went to pick it up on Saturday afternoon. I started reading it at around 23:30 Saturday evening and stayed up or night re-reading the entire book needless to say I only fell asleep after completion which was at 10:00 Sunday morning. I loved this book the emotional upheavels of the two characters was so touching and so real you just had to feel for the both of them, though I thought Miss Spencer should have decreased Clays age to maybe 21 or 22 as he came across as being very immature for a man of 25, I have to agree with another reviewer who said that the book does seem to move a bit too slow, also I don't understand why Clay's family didn't see more of the baby or why Clay didn't hold his baby until the end. Just what the heck was Catherine going to college for? The author never tells us what it was she was studying nor what career path she planned to follow once her degree was completed. However all the above mentioned do not take anything away from the story that is why I'm still giving it five stars, this book was definetly worth the 12 year wait and my sleepless Saturday night, I can't wait to re-read it this weekend ( but of course at a much slower pace since I finally know the ending). Buy this book don't hesitate, it's worth the money and definetly a keeper.

5.0étoiles sur 5 OH. MY. GOD...I LOVED THIS!!!!, Avril 1 2004
Par M. I. "krushedvelvet" (Old Bridge, NJ United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Whew!! What a book! I lost so much sleep and my housework went to hell, but wow was it worth it. I could NOT put this book down. "Separate Beds" was absolutely gripping! Clay was to die for I am telling you...first of all he was gorgeous, but his personality..oh!! He was so playful and adorable and polite, and oh my GOD ..did I mention he was to die for? Next came Catherine. She was not as easy to like as Clay, but her character developed in a believable way...simply put...she and Clay were PERFECT together. This has made my list of top faves. I am telling you..stop whatever you are doing now,buy the book, and for goodness sake...READ IT!!!
