Ecstasy's Magic

Think the Editorial Review was way off. Just read this book again from 1992. This story would be more popular nowadays because of the movies we see that are not "costume" romance so much, but like comic-strip heroes and heroines. The plot was good actually. I mean, 12 years have gone by, give the woman a break, that's a pretty good stretch to heal from what'd happened to Anna, so that she can start to relax a little. And falling in love, well that can heal a lot too. And it's not so sexy, not by today's standards! Where's the vulgar dialogue...? I didn't detect any...well, pick it up today and it will seem a really sweet read, if you can find a copy. Overlook the editorial review; it stinks. Loved the storyline too.

my friends and myself thought it was a crowning glory of a romance. The blurb on the back page tells it all: They were as different as fire aand ice--shy, demure Anna Lou Mayhugh and brashly passionaate Max Butler. The only two things they shared were the wall between their thriving emporiums in River City, Iowa and the bitter vow that each had made--a vow never to love again. But neither Max nor Anna could deny the jolt of sensual electricity that passed between them when they first met. The searing sweet temptation of loving once more swept away the dark secrets of Anna's tragic past. And as Max's strong arms held Anna close, she knew she could never resist his fiery caress--no matter where their passions might lead...And they found a love that heals all wounds. A bit too sexy for my taste these days, however!
