More than a Love Story

I thoroughly enjoyed these characters. This was my first book by Gwynne Forster but it will not be my last. Schyler Henderson and Veronica Overton share more than they realize when they first become enchanted with one another. However being on opposite sides of the court case Schyler has brought against the child services agency that Veronica heads does not provide them with the immediate trust with that attraction. Veronica's agency is exonerated but she takes a leave of absence to reevaluate her career options. Schyler is passionate about children lost in an uncaring child welfare system because of the years he spent lost in that same system until he was adopted by Richard Henderson a man he loves deeply. Richard gave Schyler the home filled with love he needed and Schyler filled the void created in Richard when his wife abandoned him taking his daughter.Veroncia's mother dies and she learns that the man she was raised to know as father was not and her mothers last request was for Veronica to find her real father, when she finds him she does not expect to find Schyler. Although Schyler desires a relationship with Veronica he is loyal to his dad and can't fully accept her distrust of Richard. Veronica has many questions about her life she needs answers to, she wants something more with Schyler but not on his terms. They both have to overcome obstacles of the past and learn to accept the love they feel for one another and allow that love to bridge their past with their future. I also loved Jenny as the homeless woman that their lives touched on their journey to a happy tomorrow for them all.

Worth More Than Just 5 Stars.

This is the first book I've read by Gwynne Forster and I have to say I can't wait to get my hands on all the others. Mrs. Forster wasn't dubbed a romance icon for nothing. This book was in a word, "Magnificant". I enjoyed her cut to the chase writing style. There's no beating around the bush with this novel.OOH! The chemistry between Veronica and Schyler was just "all that". Love poured off the two of them from the moment they met. I use romance novels as and escape from the real world every now and then. I thank you, Mrs. Forster, for the respite.

Awesome Love Story!

If you have ever been impacted by family secrets during your adulthood, then this is a book you will enjoy reading. This was such an interesting book done so well by this author, giving you nothing but a memorable story about Veronica Overton and Schyler Henderson. The book offers the reader both major and minor stories that binding them together makes such an enjoyable book to read. When you get to the last page you should be in a position to say it was well worth the read. Gwynne Forster mostly deals with issues that may for the most part be experienced by a more mature audience but even if you're younger there are some valuable life lessons to be found in all of her books. If you enjoy this one and have not read some of her other published books check these out: Beyond Desire, Fools Rush In, Obsession, Naked Soul, Against The Wind, Against All Odds, Ecstasy and Sealed With A Kiss.

What an Incredible Story

Veronica & Schyler were meant to be together. I thought it was really funny that before Veronica's mother Ester died, she told her to find her father and that she was sorry. Because of Veronica's resources, she found him. When she went to confront him, she got the surprise of her life. Schyler opened her father's front door. This was the beginning of alot of confusion for her. Schyler was also a person that liked helping people. He was driven to make sure childrent that were in foster care were treated with care from those foster parents. He felted blessed to be Richard Henderson's son. He didn't think in a million years that Richard's long lost daughter was Veronica Overton (the woman he couldn't get out of his head).I loved all the characters in this book. I especially liked Jenny the homeless woman that was actually the Seamtress Extraordinare.Ms. Forester always brings books to us that not only are senuous, but have wonderful meanings about family, trust and love.

Fantastic!

'Swept Away', was such a beautifully human story, when the main characters meet, they discover such an attrtraction. And because of how they met, they try hard to ignore their feelings. But, fate deals them an almost unbeleivable circumstance and that circumstances has them guessing and second guessing AND stuggling to maintain the beauty of what they feel. Their is such a unique twist on their family backgrounds, it actually left you gaping. This was a great story.
