How this story came to be… When I wrote On The Edge, I needed to keep things short to fit into a submission call from one of my publishers at the time, Venus Press. That meant that a lot of background material did not make it into the story. It was still in my mind, though, and as readers asked me what happened the morning after the events of On The Edge, I started thinking about how to add to the story, and show how this first night turned into a lot more than that. Since I had figured out early on that Lisa and Leo’s Sire had something to do with why they had fallen apart, it made sense that to tell the story of their reunion I had to bring him back to Haventown and watch both Childer deal with their issues with him. I also wanted to show the evolution of Brett’s feelings. In On The Edge, he wasn’t thinking about much more than finding pleasure, and that was far from the loving relationship I had imagined between Brett and his two vampire lovers. I tried to show how his lust for Leo turned to trust and protectiveness – and eventually the beginning of a love that matched his feelings for Lisa. In the entire novella, there is one scene that gave me a lot of second thoughts: at one point, Lisa and Leo’s Sire coaxes them into having sex in front of him. While they are lovers and sleep together both before and after the incident, it wasn’t something they welcomed at the time. I seriously considered cutting the scene, but eventually decided to leave it in because part of the story is about these two vampires overcoming the influence their Sire wields on them and this was too crucial a moment in their evolution to cut. I thought I was done with these characters when I ended Over The Edge. I had taken them to a nice HEA, and although I was already thinking of having them play cameos in other stories set in their club, I had no plan to center another story on them. Suffice to say they did not agree with that decision!

This is the story of Grace Oliver, a young woman who was separated from her father and her older two brothers when she was twelve and her parents divorced. Her mother took her to live in Oregon while her father stayed in Texas. However, now Grace returns to Texas to care for her father who was hit by a car and broke his leg in the accident. But once Grace returns to Texas, she realizes something is not right with her father; in the following weeks, her father is diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She stays to care for him--and in doing so, meets the family next door, a family who is recovering from the loss of a sister/daughter and a mother/wife. I really enjoyed this book--I loved the family relationships, the search for belonging, the knowledge of what both home and family means. I identified with Grace's position--at least the idea of returning to a childhood home and the process of losing a parent to dementia. I loved the next-door family, the Wests--especially Jordan, the teen-daughter who is so hurting due to loss of her twin. I loved this novel--the characters seemed real--flawed and loveably real. At heart, this book is about sacrifice, about love, about belonging, about forgiveness... So many great things. Definitely a keeper.

Always comes highly recommended. Mysterious romance and gallantry. The heart goes pitter-patter.

I loved this story about an Italian-American family especially since I grew up in one. I enjoyed the relationship between Valentine and her 80 year old grandmother. They work together in a custom made shoe shop and live together in the apartment above the shop. The interaction between the family members as the plot of the book unfolds is great. You have to love her Valentine's mother. She is a very colorful character. I look forward to the next book in this trilogy.

I loved this book -- the first P D James I've read. I haven't enjoyed reading a mystery so much since I read Agatha Christie as a teenager. But tell me, what does Dalgliesh look like?
