"Another hot read from a master"

Who would have thought one piece of undelivered mail would have the power to change the lives of so many people forever. What happens when that mail is found, many years later?

Twenty-five years ago, Jill Dennis had been blissfully in love. Until Valentine's Day, when an argument with the love of her life caused irrevocable damage, splitting them up for good. Brandon Sinclair was from a well-to-do family, so in love with Jill, not caring about the fact she was from the "wrong side of the tracks," as his parents tried to convince him. They had a dreadful fight after he told her he was being forced to go away to school immediately. He stormed out, and Jill never heard from him again, though she held out hope, until a newspaper article announced his marriage. Just in time for this Valentine's Day, Jill receives a Valentine from Brandon, that had been meant to be delivered to her back then, but was lost. Now they finally have the chance to find out what happened. But is it enough to give them Second Chances at their lives... and love?

Here is yet another wonderful quick read by Ms. Wilde. As always, she more then satisfies her readers by giving them a fully developed love story in a short story. Jill and Brandon's love for each other is evident on every page, and even though circumstances beyond their control separated them, it is apparent that love never really died, but only went into hibernation for a while. As always the passion igniting between the characters is red- hot, with a slow seduction leading up to a sexual explosion. It is evident that Ms. Wilde is incredibly talented when it comes to writing stories guaranteed to inflame the senses of her readers. This reviewer has long become a die-hard fan, adding this story to her ever- growing list of favorites.
