Lonely Hearts
Had Jean Luc, her white standard poodle, not knocked over the ladder, Sylvie would never have met that gorgeous man. Even though she doesn't believe in romance anymore, Sylvie can't help the way she... This description may be from another edition of this product.

a lovely, emotionally touching, wise and beautiful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
"Lonely Hearts" is a lovely, emotionally touching, wise and beautiful book--with a great dog in it too. At first, rubber stamp artist Sylvie Taylor seems like a sweet-natured ditz, falling onto the mailman from her roof (she was in search of keys.) But she's a breath of creative fresh air to staid Ray Novino. Sylvie decides to befriend Ray, although she resolves not to love him. She knows that when you lose a lover, you've lost a friend, too. Ray hasn't had too many friends, and he resists becoming Sylvie's--superficially they're opposites--but it's clear they're both similar at heart: nice people whose sorrows make them wary of hurting others. Good friends--and the great dog-- give them a shove toward love, and they find the courage to see--and vanquish--their dragons. Simple truths, compassion, and a real flair for bringing dogs--and people--to life make this sweet romance a wonderful, touching read. I look forward to more work from Annie Kimberlin.
Romance, humor, and a dog who's a real character!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
As a pet lover, I enjoy reading books where the animal is a central character, not just a prop. And Jean-Luc the standard Poodle really is a character! After all, if it weren't for his zest for life, the humans Silvie and Ray never would have met. While weaving a humorous, engaging love story for the humans (and, by the way, sneaking in some insight on the little-known art of rubber stamping), Annie Kimberlin also conveys the joys and frustrations of living with an exhuberant pet with a mind of his own.
A rubber stamp company owner falls -- literally -- in love.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This modern-day takeoff on screwball comedies has a woman who runs her home-based rubber stamp company "falling" for her mail carrier -- right off her roof and onto the man in blue. It's a delightful romp of getting-to-know-you, as Sylvie Taylor and her admittedly messy -- and artsy -- lifestyle meet the precise world of her curious mail carrier, Ray Novino. She's looking to share her life with someone other than Jean-Luc, her poodle. Ray isn't sure. At first. Barriers fall under the glow of friendship, however, and the future looks bright for this twosome united through correspondence.
