I love her suspense and wasn't sure about the romance type. I couldn't put this book down - I had stayed up all night to finish it! I just couldn't put it down and have read it about 5 times since!

the joy of falling in love for the first time is something you will remember for all of your life. of course the first time you feel your heart break, you'll always remember that too. this is probably the best book ive read dealing with both of those issues. sandra brown has the ability to bring the same sort of excitement to the reader that the characters are going thru as well as the let down. in bittersweet, we have two different love stories going on. the first dating back to childhood between caroline, the daughter of the town drunk, and rink, the son of the towns most wealthy family. the second, between laura jane, rinks sister, and steve, the hired hand. sparks fly between rink and caroline, mostly because of rinks dad, carolines HUSBAND! laura jane and steve are absolutely wonderful. i didnt want this book to end. ive read reviews where people say things like "they felt like friends that i had to say goodbye to when the book was over" but until this book, ive never really understood what that was like. this one is a keeper ::smile

I wont lie I almost didn't read this book ... The plot of it sounded, to put it nicely, gross. But so far I have liked all Sandra Browns books, and not to my suprise it was great, I read it in one day. The book is about 2 young people who were torn apart by lies and brought back together by death. Caroline was the town drunks child and she grew up with the title. So when she was offered a chance to try to change her title she marries Roscoe (a very wealthy man),and the father of Rink, whom she had a slight past with. When Rink comes home for his fathers death, they find out the passion that he and Caroline had shared was stronger now then 12 years ago when Rink left her behind. And before Roscoe dies he lets known all the secrets of his dirty scams that he was involved in and set up, and the couple has to figure out where to go from there, now that they know the truth. Don't let the excerpt in the begining fool you. The book was great from start to finish! Just another of Sandra Browns masterpieces.
Breathtaking!

This is the first of Sandra brown's books I've ever read but will not be the last! Not only an author but an artist! She made the characters come to life for me and I could visualize in my mind's eye what they all looked like and even the looks they gave each other! It made me long to be at The Retreat, I can't wait to get another of her books. I hope it's just as good because I'm not sure it can be better!

I've read almost all of Sandra Brown's novels, and this one didn't disappoint me at all. I absolutely loved the little bits of surprises about Roscoe, the terribly ill father, and the former relationship about Caroline and Rink. It kept me reading until I found out what kept them together, then the startling truth that kept them together.
