He lost the two little boys he loved, and it almost destroyed him. Knocked off her feet at the bizarre turn her relationship with Rome has taken, Sarah doesn’t hesitate to accept her lover’s proposal, even when he adds a heartbreaking caveat to his offer. He’s a marrying-kind-of-guy and knows it. Sarah’s smart, fun to be with, totally hot in bed (he has found this out by now) so, he proposes. Out of the blue, Rome realizes he wants to sleep with Sarah (well, stay awake with her in a prone position at any rate). Two years have passed since the accident, and, while Rome has bedded many women to ease his frustrations, he has never spent the whole night with one. He had absolutely adored his wife, and cherished his little sons. When Diane and their two young sons are killed by a drunk driver, Rome is utterly devastated. Sarah never dates nor marries, choosing instead to dream of Rome, even knowing he is completely out of reach.
When Rome meets and marries Sarah’s best friend, Diane, Sarah is heartbroken, but because she’s honorable, she keeps her feelings to herself and continues to love Rome from afar, focusing all her energies on her career. It’s the kind of story that pushes all your woman, wife, mommy, nurturer buttons, or all your what-a-jerk, get-a-life, get-over-yourself-buster, dump-the-creep, talk-about-a-spineless-heroine buttons.ģ3-year-old virgin Sarah Harper (it could happen), has been in love with Rome Matthews for years and years.
And, having read it, I can see why some would love it and others would hate it. So, I decided to read it to see what all the hollering was about. According to snippets of conversations I’ve heard here and there, Sarah’s Child by Linda Howard is either everybody’s favorite read or complete trash.
