Wonderfully romantic!

I had first come across this book at the library, got it on a whim and have not regretted it since. Such a romantic book and so believable! you felt the chemistry between the characters, Saber and Ella and know that their's was a true love. Quite unusual circumstances but it adds to the dramatic esssence of the novel.this has become an old favourite of mine and whenever i need a pick me up its straight to the library. Maybe i should buy it? anyway if you like stella cameron, read this!

What a wonderful story!

...Saber, Earl of Avenall, was severely wounded, inside and out, during the war in India. Today, we would call it Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He has nightmares, he feels terrible amounts of guilt, etc. But he thinks he's going insane.Ella, his beloved, needs him. She loves him and he pushes her away, not willing to tie her to a madman. But someone threatens to expose Ella's past and hurt her.Saber decides to marry her, make her his heir, so when he does finally go completely insane, Ella will be taken care of.This was a good story, with deeply emotional characters whose love for each other was tangible and real.The only thing I don't usually like about Stella Cameron's writing is the way she often *hints* at what people want to say. I wish she would just have them *say* what is on their minds.But I did think this was a very good book.

A GOOD BOOK

This was a good book, and I enjoyed reading it. The characters were believable. If you want to read a book that goes straight to your heart, read Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher. . .It is a beautiful story of unrequited love. . .for certain the love story of the nineties. I intended to give the book a quick read, but I got so caught up in the story that I couldn't put the book down. From the very beginning, I was fully caught up in the heart-wrenching account of Julie Hunter's battle with lupus and her growing love for Don Lipton. This love, in the face of Julie's impending death, makes for a story that covers the range of human emotions. The touches of humor are great, too, they add some nice contrast and lighten things a bit when emotions are running high. I've never read a book more deserving of being published. It has rare depth. Julie's story will remind your readers that life and love are precious and not to be taken for granted. It has had an impact on me, and for that I'm grateful. Stolen Moments is written with so much sensitivity that it made me want to cry. It is a spellbinder. What terrific writing. Barbara does have an exceptional gift! This book was edited by Lupus specialist Dr. Matt Morrow too, and has the latest information on that disease. ..A perfect gift for someone who started college late in life, fell in love too late in life, is living with any illness, or trying to understand a loved one who is. . .A gift to be cherished forever.
