"Great anthology"
Reunion by Rochelle Alers. After over two decades
of marriage, her husband Dwight left her for a younger much
thinner model. Though Dwight is just about the only man
she's ever seen having dated him in high school, real
estate mogul Elaine feels surprisingly free especially
after seeing scientist Ruben, home for the high school
reunion. Surprise by Donna Hill. She is fifty. Her husband
of thirty years is fifty-five. They raised two children,
both adopted. She has a grandchild. So how will the
family cope with her being pregnant when she struggles with
acceptance of this miracle? Bare Essentials by Brenda Jackson. Dominique and
the hunk first see one another while both jogged at o'dark
in Simon Park. Each is attracted to the other, but he
practices law at the court in which she sits on the bench
as a judge. Strictly Business by Francis Ray. Garret watches
Monica dump her cheating boyfriend while wishing she were
his. He gets a chance when her father assigns her to work
with him on a project, but Monica demands their
relationship remain strictly business. All four tales in this delightful collection star strong
protagonists who make for an entertaining anthology. Fans
of contemporary romances except Twiggy clones will enjoy
each contribution in which the road to love is filled with
detours especially when the full size female characters
fear the hunks will philander with thinner women. Harriet Klausner
