A Must Read!!!

This book was so good. This is the first book that I've read of hers and I want to read more. Justine and Duncan are great characters that are real and down to earth. I, too, wish that I could find a man like him.

Everybody plays the fool sometime!

The main characters in this story had both been played for a fool by their spouses. Imagine being 8 months pregnant and finding out that your spouse had been having an affair, and has just died in a motel fire with his white mistress. Would you not mentally and emotionally freak out? The heroine of the book, Justine did just that...which leads her to doing something she would never have done under normal conditions---give her baby girl up for adoption. Once she was emotionally healed enough to go looking for her baby, she found not only her daughter, but the love of her life in Duncan, the man who had adopted her. Duncan had issues of his own, but it just made the story more interesting. A great read which I highly recommend.

Deep, realistic and hot - vintage Forster

Gwynne Forster manages to mix some interesting, current social issues with riveting romance. I was so drawn to the characters. They seemed like persons I knew - really knew and could sympathize with. They were real people, with real problems working them out the best way they knew how. And the sexual tension between Justine and Duncan! Talk about burning up the pages without even touching! That was fantastic stuff. The romance between Wayne Roundtree and Banks added a nice touch to the story. Mattie was a riot.A beautiful storyline with memorable characters with their own special quirks and faults, but still perfectly loveable. No scenes which came over as artificially contrived. A definite keeper. Keep it up Ms. Forster - I love your stories.

Fools may rush in, but love conquers all!!!

I absolutely adored this novel. Gwynne is one of my favorite authors. Her characters and story plots are unlike any other author. I enjoyed the story of Justine, Duncan and Tonya. I was also impressed that Mrs. Forster incorporated characters from one of her early novels. Not to mention the love affair and marriage of Duncan's sister and Wayne Roundtree. I washappy that Justine and Duncan finally got together at the end of the novel and despite her treachery, they made amends. Excellent reading!!! Keep up the good work Gwynne.

When "Fools Rush In"....love prevails

This is another winner from the incomparable Gwynne Forster. No other writer has quite her talent for taking such seemingly insurmountable issues--a child, her biological mother and adoptive father, and the secrets and betrayal haunting them both--and coming up with such an engrossing love story.I made the mistake of taking this book to work and hardly got any work done because I could not wait to find out what would happen next. Duncan Banks is every woman's fantasy of the perfect man...loving, passionate, community-minded, and a fantastic father. And Justine is his perfect match. I cried tears of joy as these two realized the love they shared not only for their precious daughter, but for each other.Last but definitely not least, I want to thank Ms. Forster for reintroducing Banks and Wayne Roundtree. I absolutely loved the way their story worked out. Please keep me updated! And Duncan's housekeeper Mattie was an absolute riot. Keep up the excellent work, Ms. Forster. I look forward to your next novel.
