A Note From an Old Acquaintance
A Note from an Old Acquaintance
A Note from an Old Acquaintance
Brian Weller is a haunted man. It’s been two years since the tragic accident that left his three-year-old son dead and his wife in an irreversible coma. A popular author of mega-selling thrillers, Brian’s life has reached a crossroads: his new book is stalled, his wife’s prognosis is dire, and he teeters on the brink of despair.
Everything changes the morning an e-mail arrives from Boston artist Joanna Richman. Her heartfelt note brings back all the poignant memories: the night their eyes met, the fiery passion of their short-lived affair, and the agonizing moment he was forced to leave Joanna forever. Now, fifteen years later, the guilt and anger threaten to overwhelm him. Vowing to make things right, Brian arranges a book-signing tour that will take him back to Boston. He is eager to see Joanna again, but remains unsure where their reunion will lead. One thing is certain: the forces that tore their love asunder will stop at nothing to keep them apart.
Filled with tender romance and taut suspense, A Note from an Old Acquaintance is an unforgettable story about fate, honor, and the power of true love.

My Review:
I love this book. It wasn't 5 star worthy but it was really good. I don't think I have a had a book effect me the way this one did. I think we all have a love that got away and this book will make you think about what might have been. But, is having what might have been a good thing? Guess you will have to read the book and find out:) It is full of surprises, heart wrenching moments and just a little mystery. I was a little off kilter at first because I am not a huge fan of romantic books that have male leads but it really did surprise me and it will make it onto my must read list:) I highly recommend that you add this to your Fall reading line up. It is a great book for crisp nights and warm mugs of apple cider.

I am not into romance books either but loved this one. I am a sap for soul mate stories though.
Bobbie: Thank you for your kind review. It is very much appreciated.
