Customer Reviews

Yah, yah, when I get bored I'll just skip to the end...

I bought this book for 50 cents at the library. Cover looks hooky, but I'll give it a try. If the book gets boring, I usually go to the end and read the chapters backwards. The middle oft times is predictable or gets goes on and on with long scenes of dinner, etc.. I kept waiting for this story to do those things. Not. I was suprised at the depth of character, the explorations of interactions, and the perceptions of the characters. I'll say that there is one slight mention of a first bedding, don't let that stop you. I found myself second guessing what the characters would do. It is really worth a read. I won't tell you what I think of Charles, but he proves blood is thicker than water. See if you can guess why. Enjoy! By the way I ended up reading it all the way through. K. Campbell

From the back of book Description

A favorite old movie...a leading man as dashing as Clark Gable in Gone With The Wind...and a dream that someday you'll meet someone as romantic and perfect to love... Jill Casler, an elegant guest at Beverly Hills' best hotel, stared in shock at the handsome man on her doorstep: Phillip Wayland, hero of Weary Hearts, the movie that launched her father's career as a Hollywood director forty years before. It was as if Phillip had stepped off the silver screen -- her imaginary lover appearing before her in the flesh! In an uncannily familiar Virginia drawl, the visitor explained that he was Doug Ringling, nephew of the actor who played Phillip Wayland. With a chilling sense of deja vu, Jill heard Doug's suspicions about the existence of a secret version of Weary Hearts that could shatter Jill's precious memories of her deceased father and smear him in the film industry. Now, illusions and truth weave a tangled web around Jill as she begins a journey into a past long hidden from her; to the family her father left behind in the Shenandoah Valley; to the poignant reality behind a film classic. Now she will embrace life with a roan determined to pursue his own dreams, a man who fills her empty heart as fantasy never could--with love.
