Six Reasons to Stay a Virgin

By Louise Harwood

Emily, London's famous twenty-four-year-old virgin, has to wonder if it's really so crazy to wait for Mr. Right. To enjoy the anticipation. To make sure she's totally, truly, no-turning-back in love. Especially when her friends fall in and out of lust on a daily basis. But Emily gets the surprise of her life when Oliver Mills comes back to town after a year in America. When they were sixteen, she and Oliver made out behind some sand dunes at the beach, and deep down, he's the one she's been waiting for all this time. Already, Emily can feel her defenses crumbling. She's got six good reasons to stay a virgin. But six might not be enough.

Six Reasons to Stay a Virgin

Emily would never have run into Sam Mills again, if it hadn't been for that wasp in the changing room-or at least, is she had, she might have been wearing more than a pair of pink knickers. And she wouldn't have found out that Sam's brother, Oliver, was back in town and quit her job at a moment's notice because she'd told him she would. Oliver is the man she's been saving herself for-ever since the make-out session they had at the beach when she was sixteen. And the only use she has for Sam is to ask him about Oliver-much to his disappointment-although he dutifully tells her what he knows. Louise Harwood handles this sweet tale of a woman's slow realization of the right man for her with a light, tender, and slightly quirky touch. Emily, like most of us, is slow to let go of the past and see what is right before her. Oliver at last begins to see her as she's always dreamed, and as he moves to lay claim to her, Sam asks her to stay with him for the day-something they both know is a test of who she will choose. With a tidily offbeat and satisfying ending, Harwood proves that true love doesn't have to win out in the expected ways in order to triumph in the end. A rose is a rose by any name-or any means used to reach it. Recommended. Reviewed by Lee M Copyright © 2006 CK2S Kwips and Kritiques. All rights reserved.
