This was my one and only book by Rebecca Brandewyne and I don't know why. I read this book a long time ago, but I still remember it. I love romances that start out with the main two characters meeting when they are young, then fall in love only to have circumstances tear them apart. Then reunite years later. Sarah is a very sweet and likeable herione and Renzo is a hottie from beginning to end. I just wish that Renzo wouldn't have found out he had a son by Sarah until later in the book. It was kind of like after you open up all your christmas presents the anticipation was gone, but I still recommend this book for hours of enjoyment.
Enjoyable Book, 4.5 stars

This is my first book by Brandewyne... and I plan on reading more. I liked her writing style. It was easy to follow and descriptive, but it didn't bog me down with endless descriptions, etc. The storyline, dialogue, etc. was unique and interesting. There was a little suspense and mystery involved, and I didn't realize the "truth" until the very end. There was also at least one tear jerking scene. My only complaint is one of the "steamy" scenes seemed never ending... but other than that I really enjoyed this book.
A wonderful book...

Book Description: Years ago, their friendship had been private --- known only to themselves. Intense, passionate, dangerously good-looking, the only son of a small-time mobster gunned down on the mean streets of the big city, Renzo Cassavettes wouldn't have fit in Sarah Kincaid's world. But one sultry summer afternoon, while the honeysuckle had bloomed, Sarah had allowed the illegitimate boy from the wrong side of the tracks to make love to her, never dreaming that within hours, he would be accused of murder, fleeing from their small hometown, leaving her pregnant with his child. Now, like a dust devil blowing into the outwardly quiet town, Renzo is back, and his arrival proves a catalyst, reviving what had started so many years before. For there is a killer on the loose...and soon Sarah is swept into a whirlwind of danger. Which way could she turn? Was the man she loved a cold-blooded murderer playing some kind of diabolical game? Or was he the only port in the seething storm of deception and desire? * This was the first book that I've read from Rebecca Brandewyne & it won't be my last. I really enjoyed this book. This is a 470-page book that I read in just 2 days. I could not put it down for anything. Highly recommended.
GREAT BOOK!
