Blurb:  Love blossomed in 1940 but life intervened. Can Harold and Bea regain that lost passion after seventy years?
Harold and Bea met and fell in love in 1940. Both enlisted to fight in WWII and then came home to marry other people. Now, seventy years later, they agree to attend a high school reunion. Neither of them know if the other will show or what happened so many years ago. These two find that a broken proposal is hard to forgive but when you're almost ninety you don't have time for regrets.

Review:   This is a wonderfully sweet romance gem!

The blurb gives a good synopsis of the basic story.  The charm is in the telling! It is fun to learn what happened that kept these two apart years before and how they each fared during the intervening years.  There is contentment and sorrow portrayed along the way and a chance for newfound joy when they reconnect.

Bea is quite a colorful and mouthy character!  No shy, quiet grandmother here!  Harold is a very sweet man who lives with his divorced daughter, Stephanie, and gets to visit often with a charming young granddaughter.  Bea’s cleaning man and helper, Jonathan, is another likable character who helps keep things rolling. 

The high school reunion scenes will have you chuckling!  The writing tone is warm and comfortable.  At 88 pages you can read this in one sitting.  I liked the poems at the beginning too!  Treat yourself to the enjoyment of this cute, heartwarming and somewhat sassy story of sweet reunion!

  4. Sounds like a gorgeous read, a little bit different from the usual romance.

  5. I also am in the over 40 crowd (over 50), and can't imagine life without my hubby of 26 years now. We might be over the hill, but we still have the romance. I would love to read this book, please count me in.
