P.S. I've Taken a Lover

Entertaining and accurate--and what a TRUE heroine! With Scrupples! Having lived 15 years with a psychopathic doctor... I could identify with Elizabeth Gilmartin. Every woman deserves to be all she can be--every human deserves it! LIONHEARTED PUBLISHING has picked another winner AND continues to ELEVATE THE STATUS OF WOMEN. Lucas's writing style is a delight and hooks you. I couldn't put it down--I'm not normally a romance reader. I thank my friend for putting this book in my hands. Every woman should live her dream and no one should rain on another's parade. Ditch those "I know better than you do, dear" husbands and live! A. Vandeventer

This is a masterful first novel, opening as it does in the mental hospital into which Elizabeth Gilmartin's husband has had her admitted without her agreement. He thinks that she's crazy, almost certainly as a direct consequence of menopause. Then, she proves her craziness by telling him that, using a pseudonym, she has written a sexy bestseller. And she has. Or hasn't she? There are mysteries in this story, primarily why the housewife has put up with all her husband's garbage, and why her adult children never see fit to intervene to assist her. These inconsistencies certainly are by the author's design; there are no holes in this book. And where did the mystery lover come from? How did he track her down, and even visit her in the sauna of the mental hospital itself? Is he real, or is he a detail of her delusion? This excellent book keeps its readers engrossed to very last page--and then leaves them wondering!

I was a fan of Patricia White's long before reading PS, I've Taken a Lover, but this book just blew me away. Not only can this woman write, she can definitely write MY demographic! There's not a 50 year old woman anywhere who won't find something to laugh or cry about between these pages. It should be required reading for all women, no matter what their ages, and it wouldn't hurt a few of the men to read it either. What a hoot! This is an absolutely wonderful story.

I received this book as a gift and read it in one setting. It is powerful. The author really spoke to me. I love this book and I know I am going to keep it and give it to my daughter when she is older. Oh, please. It is so great that I just want to run around ordering people to read it.

Patricia Lucas White has out done herself with this book! It is a page turner, keeping you guessing what the heroine is up to next. Needless to say I truely enjoyed this one.
