Ratings and reviews

A little annoyed with the fact that Christine took so long to tell her husband the truth. But none the less. The book is great!

Loved it! Read it years ago and never forgot it! Brings back that love hard to find, lucky to be alive type feeling & a little comic relief to boot. Feeling down, need a smile? Then read this book, enjoy the whole series!

One of her earliest and she hadn't yet perfected her craft.
