Customer Reviews

I liked this book but not as much as others by Michelle

The issue that I have with this book is that Vito believed "the other woman" instead of Catherine (his wife) or his son. He never told his wife the truth about his previous relationship with "the other woman" (until the end of the book) and this allowed "the other woman" to cause trouble in his marriage. It is no surprise that Catherine had a hard time believing Vito since in essence he was lying. Some of the other readers stated that they disliked the way Catherine acted. I disagree, I think that Catherine actions were based on what she knew. Since she did not have all of the facts, granted she was wrong, but that was not her fault. At the end, when the truth came out, Catherine stated that "the other woman" knew things that only a lover would know and that knowing that Vito kept lying to his wife, gave her ammunition to hurt Catherine. Obviously it takes two people to make or break a marriage. In this case, he was more at fault than Catherine. I love Michelle's books but rated this only 4 instead of 5 because I think that Vito should have been honest with Catherine when all of their troubles started. Instead, he was only honest because the truth came out during an argument with "the other woman."

not enough aggressiveness.

I have been reading a lot of Michelle Reid's book and I think this one was a little weak, but still ok to read. Vitto, did not have that strong chemistry that most men have in the romance books ...he tried too hard to convince his innocence to Catherine; who lived only in the past and not in the future. I love the love that was shown by both to their son; even though their was indifference between them, they tried to protect their son.

Another great story by Michelle Reid

I fell in love with books by Michelle Reid a while ago. I rate this book as 5 stars because like her others, it was a great read. However, I don't think it was as great as the other ones I have read of hers - but there is not real distinctions in the word great. I think what made this book a little lacking is that I've read many stories like this from her. They are not all EXACTLY the same, and if I didn't like the types of stories I wouldn't have read the books, but I sometimes hope for something a little different from Michelle, in the hopes of sparking my interest again. The only thing I can really say to anyone reading this though, is that if you liked her previous books you will definitely like this one.

Heartwarming, with both tension and humor.

Michelle Reid is one of my favorite series writer and I always purchase her books. Just like her prior books, this pulled at heart strings and alot was due to the love that Vitto and Catherine shared for their son. I reccommend if you are looking for a fast pace, sensual, sometimes humourous read. Their son Santo was adorable.Just like the prior reviewer, didn't respect Vitto that much in his defense of "the other woman", but felt he suffered sufficiently for his mistakes. I loved the ending, it made me smiled.

Its a good read. . .what you would expect from Michelle Reid

I always like Michelle Reid's work and this one is no different. The story is about Catherine and Vito. They've been married for 6 years but they separated 3 years before. They haven't communicate since that day of the separation but now they are force to become wife and husband again because of their precious little 5 year old son Santo for the sake of becoming a family again. The story is very good, the characters are excellent.. though i find Vito's defense to another woman irritating. He's more on her side that his son. But i guess its only a small element. But i give it a 4, instead of 5 because of that.
