Reviews

Quinn, Tara Taylor. It Happened on Maple Street. HCI. (True Vows). 2011. 286p. ISBN 9780757315688. pap. $13.95. CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
Naïve, sheltered, and bookish Tara Gumser is a smalltown Ohio 'good girl' with one enduring dream--to write for Harlequin--until she meets Tim Barney in a college geology class and adds another dream to her list. But life has other, far less pleasant plans for Tara, although she soon succeeds at carving out a stellar professional career. It isn't until decades later, when an out-of-the-blue email from Tim reunites them, that the cruel betrayal and emotional devastation of Tara's past are finally laid to rest, and she and Tim are given another chance at love. Told from alternating viewpoints (Tara's and Tim's), this introspective, soul-searing story takes its protagonists on a turbulent journey from angst-ridden teenage insecurity and painful self-doubt to adult understanding and acceptance and leaves them stronger, more resilient, and more sure of their love.
Verdict Poignant and brutally hard-hitting but shimmering with joy and newfound hope, this autobiographical reality-based romance by popular Harlequin author Quinn is a noticeable departure from her current suspenseful thrillers but is a compelling page-turner in its own right. Arizona-based Quinn (The Fourth Victim) is 'married to her own Harlequin Hero. Finally.'--Kristin Ramsdell, Librarian Emerita, California State Univ., East Bay--Library Journal Express
