“The Playboy and the
Widow.” In Seattle, playboy Cliff Howard
and widowed mother of two preadolescent daughters (Joan and Katie) Diana
Collins meet and surprisingly are attracted to each other; a feeling both
dreads. Even more shocking to Cliff and
Diana, Joan and Katie give him their approval.
“Fallen
Angel.” In Seattle, Harold Johnson retires and expects his daughter Amy to
run Johnson Industries. Unsure she wants
to be the CEO instead of just an executive raising a loving family, Amy meets
wanderer Josh Powell. To her
astonishment she tells him about her father’s desires; Josh explains he had a
similar relationship with his dad, but instead fled the world of finance and his
demanding parent to travel the globe. As
they fall in love, each must decide what they want with their respective lives.
These are reprints of two engaging Seattle romances written over two decades ago. Both enjoyable novels contain pleasing casts
though in each case the lead relationships never feel totally plausible; as the
early encounters are doubtful and time is not on their sides. Still Debbie Macomber, even in her early days,
shows her skills in authoring charming romances.
