The Perfect Love Story!!

This has to be the one book that has really touched my heart of all the 150 plus books I have read in the last three years! Hill has put (as my grandma would say) her ten toes into this book. "A Private Affair" has everything a romance reader could ever want in romance novel, of course that's my opinion. Truly it was a great novel that I recommend everyone should read, at least once! There is a sequeal to this novel and it is called " Pieces of Dreams." Get that one too you will not be disappointed. Much, much, much love Hill!!

A Great Read

I must admit that I was a bit disappointed that Quinn did not pick Max over Nikita. I guess maybe because I am that special friend to my first love. But I enjoyed the storyline all the more. Nikita earned Quinn. She proved that they came from two different worlds and could still be HERE (like Martin would say "We Here"). I am going out to buy the sequel to this book to see if Quinn made the right decision. Keep up the good work.

Much more than a Romance Novel

'A Private Affair', was a realistic view of relationships, expectations, dreams and disappointments. The character development of the main characters was great and the struggle for them to mesh was pure reality. Street Smart and Sheltered Naivity make a tedious couple. Quinn's acceptance of himself was a long time coming. I liked Nikita and Maxine and Quinns' relationship with them was an example of what it means to Love someone and to be In Love with someone. The supporting characters were not just names. I sympathized with Maxine but, I liked the ending, Quinten found his light. This was no light weight romance novel.

The best book that I have read in a very very long time.

This book should not be categorized as a "romance" novel. Not that there is anything wrong with romance novels; I read them daily. But there is something so real about this book, the language, the places and most of all the people. I have known a Quinn in my life. I have been Maxine at times in my life. I have known a lot of Nikita's. This book touched me deeply. Never have I gotten so caught up with characters in a book. I laughed, cried and hurt for them. I must say, the ending of this book at first read made me sad because my favorite character had to press on without getting what they truly wanted; deeply wanted from the bottom of their heart. Then subconciously I refused to accept it. I re-read the book to see if maybe, just maybe things worked out the way that I wanted them too. So I fooled myself into thinking that the ending was vague. "I'm not quite sure" I would tell myself. Days after reading this book, I am still trying to g! et "answers" that I already know. Donna Hill has written a book that will touch you to the core. If you haven't read it, you must run and get this book.

DONNA HILL YOU GO GIRL !!!

This is absolutely one of the best romance novels that I have read. The author did a great job of exploring the lives of Quinn and Nikita. This novel went much deeper than most romance novels. It was not filled with sugar coated phrases and nonsense that ordinary people never say. But the words and actions of each character reflected real life people in real life relationships. The only reason that this book does not get a 10 is because the ending was a little vague. I wanted more. I wanted the author to spell out where they were in their relationship. And what was next for the two of them but knowing Donna she'll incorporate them into her next novel.
