This is the third book by Corman that I have read and, as usual, she writes a really good story. My only complaint is that she needs to lose all of the adjectives and learn how to write normal dialogue. She can't write a sentence without telling you how lusciously beautiful and astonishing something is. And her characters talk like that, too. Everyone is "amazingly beautiful" and her characters don't mind saying that to each other.....constantly. Once you wade through that, however, you find a good story. You have two women, a doctor and a lawyer, who have both suffered terrible losses in their partners and are brought together by the illness of the lawyer's mother. They are drawn to each other immediately, maybe a little too quickly, but you get to watch two women who have been hurt so badly by life get to find a chance to try again. The quality of their lives seems almost too fantastic, but their love scenes are scorching. There is a secret lurking however that can destroy their happiness and, once it is revealed, you wonder if they can overcome it. All in all, this is a good book and worth reading. Just try to skip over the adjectives.
