Again and Again

Caroline Morrow was on her way to becoming A governess after her divorce, when she ran into her childhood sweetheart Lord Simon Blair at an inn. Simon,too handsome for his own good, wants her to forget about his infidelity from the past and enjoy the present again and again. After seeing the bad reviews for this book, I was moved to write A review myself to show my support for Again And Again. I have read hundreds of books and Again And Again is still one of my favorite books of all time. I understand that everyone has their own taste in what they like in A romance novel, but after reading the back of the book, why did some of the reviewers read this book if they knew that they would not like A hero that cheated? I personally thought that was why this book was so appealing. Simon was so realistic and different from the other Rakes you read about in the romance novels that are out now. He was A real Rake, not watered down but A real bad boy! I also don't understand how anyone could say that this book was boring when it kept me up all night turning the pages trying to see if Caroline would finally tame him! It was so exciting! If you don't like reading about Rakes then this book is not for you, but if you want to see how exciting it is when A women is taming one, then try Again And Again! I urge other readers out there that loved this book to write A review and show your support so that authors will see that it is ok to write about A hero that cheated and redeems himself in the end.

Listen ladies, if you're reading Susan Johnson for the believable plots and well formed characters, then I think you are not going to want to go here. But if you like sex? steamy sex, quick to the point sex, long drawn out sex, well described and erotic sex, Well then you're not going to be able to put this book down. By the way, as a sidebar, I liked the two main characters also.

I guess I am just a total Susan Johnson lover. I know for sure that many that criticize her books just don't seem to see what I see. This book was a little more fast paced than some with more of the historical content. Which is fine for me, because anyone that reads Susan for historical content . . . well why would you read her for that? Simon and Caroline had grown up together and you could tell that they had had a long history. Their original breakup 5 years previous was over the usual Simon's philanderings - something that Caroline just could not forget. So a chance meeting 5 years later, a divorce put in the past for Caroline, she was running away penniless to a job as a governess. Meeting by chance at an inn in a snowstorm - they with much anger and resentment fall into each others arms again. I do not understand anyone saying they were abusesive - they lashed out at each other verbally not unlike other couples that have gone through hurt and untrust. And that is the core to this couples problems no trust. Simon for all his many many women cannot seem to deal with Caroline ever being with anyone else. It drives him crazy! And Caroline just never thinks that Simon will ever change. But oh my the chemisty is there - and isn't that why we read Susan Johnson?? I will give this book 5 stars if for no other reason than I love Susan's books, I was thrilled to have her write one in this period of British history and she can write bedroom scenes like no other. Keep it up Ms. Johnson!!

Susan Johnson is an automatic buy for me for her literate style and hot relationships. Of her recent books, I have found not as much substance to the prose, possibly because her fabulously informative footnotes have been eliminated-in all probibility by the publishing powers that be. They must think all romance/historical fiction readers are too dimwitted and easily distracted by these references and really don't want to learn anything. Even without these informative additions her heroines remain intelligent and strong; her heros always have good hearts and, though torn, always come through in the end. She remains a must buy for me.

Another super sexy story by Susan Johnson. Once started, I couldn't put the book down.
