Personally I find any cross-dating in a family very creepy and distasteful, but this is so sanitized and sedate they get by with it. They fall out, and she and the son start dating. More is made of the economic differences than their age though. The changes since then are interesting to read about.Ĭaroline falls for the H although she is actually younger than his son. There has been such a cultural change.Īnyhow, back to our H and h. The first thing I noticed was the smoking, and I was raised by two smokers. They fall out, and she and the son This hero is not going to live to 50. Caroline falls for the H although she is actually younger than his son. The changes since then are interesting to read about. Typically this type of story, would not appeal to me, but surprisingly I enjoyed this one a lot.more The rest of the story is about how they find their way back to each other. So it's not surprising that they screw up their relationship. Of course, he is the jealous type, she is the foolish type. They have instant chemistry and he invites her to lunch which turns into a few dinners, and a weekend visit to his country home. They meet by accident at the elevator where she works, but she doesn't recognize him since she has only worked there for a few weeks. This one was no exception.Ĭaroline is a May/December romance. Anne Mather's earlier works were rather good and I am finding the few that I have read recently have stood the test of time. I give this relationship 6 months before the hero calls it quits. Getting engaged to his son, was a bit "de trop". I can't believe she could keep the interest of a suave, cool, and sophisticated 40 year old. This time around, the heroine just annoyed me She was a tasteless opportunist.
On the first read, I found the heroine to be enchanting, refreshing, but a bit naive. You can see even back then that she was going to push the envelope and send readers outside their comfort zone.
It was good storytelling and a great first effort by Anne Mather. I can't believe she could keep the interest of a suave, This did not stand up on a second read.
(A Mather trademark) On the first read, I found the heroine to be enchanting, refreshing, but a bit naive.
