A MIXED REACTION

I love the first novel in this two in one binding--Beloved Stranger...it bears many similarities to a Regency moved into the 20th sentury...the two characters meet during a snow storm, are instantly attracted to each other, have sex and then move apart--only for the young virginal female lead to become pregnant--what should have seemed stale and contrived works because of the likeability of the characters (not the niceness because they have very realistic faults) and the juxtaposition of their very opposite natures--Wolf's leads are from two very different worlds--one a NY Yankee outfielder and the other a fledgling novelist with a lack of self-confidence. And yet, like many of her charcters in the 19th century books-- good manners and sense of responsibility create an environment that allows them time to develop a relationship and realize that their first magical meeting was a once in a lifetime chance at true happiness.... The second novel I really did not care for and never re-read...don't even remember much about it expect it is about estranged actors who are brought together again under an accident of fate and manage to heal the rift in their relationship--since they never stopped loving each other...
