One of the very few Harlequins that deserves five stars

From the back cover: Divorce vs. Desire Three years ago Adam Carmichael had walked out on Maggi when she needed him most. Now he was back, to pick up their marriage where he'd left off--or so he thought! Maggi's first reaction was to finalize their divorce, but Adam refused point-blank. Maggi became furious--not with Adam but with herself, because, to her dismay, part of her was relieved! Torn between divorce and desire, Maggi knew she should follow her head, not her heart. But Adam wasn't going to let her go without a fight. And my review: I'd slowly started weaning myself off of Harlequins when I picked this book up from a thrift store for 10 cents. Harlequin has authors that range from those that shouldn't even be published to ones that are excellent. Carole Mortimer is one of the best! I normally don't like to read books from the "Presents" line, as I disagree with a lot of things in the lifestyles of those portrayed. For example, I don't like reading about spouses who supposedly love each keeping seperate bedrooms just because they're rich, sending their kids to boarding school rather than raising them themselves, or having cooks and housekeepers when they're perfectly capable of keeping their own homes. Whatever happened to taking care of your own family? But this book was different - a step away from all that, and I'm really glad I took a chance on it. The hero and heroine both seemed to have their heads on straight, and lived their own lives instead of hiring people to do it for them, so to speak. The reasons that they split up were real, valid reasons that seemed insurmountable (but of course weren't), not silly arguments that carried on forever. Unlike many couples in the "Presents" line, where they act like children giving each other the silent treatment, I felt that this couple actually tried to communicate. I nearly cried at the black moment of this book, and again when the happy ending was finally reached. I have very few Harlequin keepers, but this one went on the keeper shelf, and it is not coming off of it! Best ten cents I ever spent at a thrift shop! I'm looking for more books by this author, as she is fabulous.
