Customer Reviews

Delightful second chances -- Highly recommended

Sharon Harrison and Tony Morelli married after a whirlwind courtship. Sharon took Tony's infant daughter to her heart, raising the child as her own just like the son they also share. Unfortunately, Tony did not take the time to mourn his first wife properly before beginning their relationship, a fact that seemed to overshadow their years together. Eleven years and a divorce later, only joint custody keeps them bound in an unorthodox custody arrangement that insures close contact. Currently, Tony heads a thriving family owned construction firm. His success makes Sharon feel the slow growth of her lingerie store Teddy Bares even more. Tony had never understood her need for independence and the success of her store. Sharon never acknowledged the difficulty his first wife's shadow presented. Despite their divorce, these emotional issues and more still overshadow their lives as they work together to raise their children. Linda Lael Miller pens a beautiful tale of second chances in USED-TO-BE LOVERS. Miller has a gift for creating a powerful, character driven romance complete with wonderful children and well-meaning family members. USED-TO-BE LOVERS explores the delicate balance of love and communication, and what happens when communication fails. With a divorce and child-rearing issues creating turmoil, their struggles to balance their emotions and their desires becomes quite entertaining as they confront daily living issues such as spoiled shopping trips and broken plumbing. While Sharon and Tony obviously still love one another, their inability to risk vulnerability allows them both to make foolish choices. A tender exploration of rekindled love, USED-TO-LOVERS comes highly recommended.

Different!

Although I enjoyed the book, I became frustrated with Sharon. She finds it easier to walk away than fight for what she wants. Tony, on the hand, was WOW! Loved the setting for the book. Even the kids were great
