"Hello, Ms. Vivien...it's been a long time." And with those words, Vivien Leigh Rochet nearly melted. It's been years since she last saw Henry Whitley-Shuler. She was a teenager scrubbing houses for a living. He was the gorgeous son of rich parents, not fit for the likes of her. Vivien had vowed to get out of Charleston, become a big Hollywood star, and stick it to the snooty girls who made her cry. She got what she wanted--and more--but why does her glamorous life seem so trivial? Henry got out too...making it all the way to Wall Street, until a heart attack forced him to trade in his cuff links for a good set of hand tools. Making furniture soothes his soul, but escaping the Whitley-Shuler heritage is nearly impossible. And now he's come face-to-face with the one who got away. He's not looking for love. He's not even looking for sex...so why is resisting her the hardest thing he's ever done?" --
Not my favorite Rachel Gibson book, but I still overall liked it and found it entertaining. I liked that there was a lot of history between the hero and the heroine, but there were a LOT of skeletons in those closets too. All I'm going to say is: I knew and I saw that coming. I know I kept listening to this one, because I had to see if I was right about what they all were hiding, but I thought the diary entries were a little odd. The more I learned about Henry and understood him, the more I liked him, and I was very happy with the ending.
