Book Reviews of A Whole New Light (Random House Large Print (Cloth/Paper))
Book Review: Reissue of a Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
Cyn McCall is a young widow who is finding her life to be less then fulfilling. She wants something to happen, shake things up a bit. She's lonely but isn't sure exactly what she's looking for. When her best friend Worth invites her on a spontaneous trip to Acapulco she agrees to go but can't help that she may be making a mistake.
Worth Lansing is a playboy and he knows it but once he gets Cyn down to Mexico, his platonic feelings for her undergo a change. How could he be feeling this way about his best friends widow? Despite not knowing if he's about to ruin his relationship with Cyn they give into the passion that is born of sultry romantic nights in a paradise far from their lives in Texas. But, eventually they will have to face what they've done. Is their passion for each other going to be enough to get them through the changes their friendship will have to undergo in order for them to be together, or has one night of passion ruined a friendship that means the world to both of them?
This re-issue of one of Ms. Brown's first Loveswept title is perfect example of why this woman has become such a force in the romance/mainstream genre today. There is plenty of passion, angst and romance within this quick read. I highly suggest any titles by this talented author.
Book Review: Disappointed

I have read two other books by Sandra Brown- Ricochet and Playing Dirty and liked them very much especially Ricochet. However, was totally disappointed with A Whole New Light. Rarely do I NOT finish a book but this was one. It went on and on about nothing inparticular- VERY boring. Left it on an airplane!Book Review: Change of pace, but good!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is remniscent of the reason I got hooked on romance novels. It is not a deeply emotional, complex read with multidimensional characters like the books that I read today, but it is nice to be reminded of the simplicity of romance and how sometimes less is more.
I am an ABSOLUTE sucker for "friends turned lovers" books. This is that, but it is also about a man falling for his deceased best-friend's widow. An icky premise, but one that is entirely acceptable by the end of the book.
This is a light read...think about laying on the beach with a book that doesn't require all your attention as you look out on the ocean...this is THE book for you. It's short, can be read in no time, and is very sweet and believable. Mostly though, it's romantic. What else is there to say?
Book Review: Easy, thoughtless reading
Summary: 4 Stars
The original story was released in 1989 as a paperback. It recently came out in a hardback edition. So really, I read an old story in a new format, right? Anyway, I typically do not read this style of book even though I do like Sandra Brown. This is one of those lover stories where couples of course end up happy. It is actually a good story and requires no thought whatsoever. Quick read with a light story. Sometimes I need a no-brainer book and this is one of those. Besides, the author lives nearby in Arlington, Texas. How can I pass up a book by a local author?Book Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
Sandra Brown never lets me down. A Whole New Light was just another one of her many, many great books. She makes you really get into the character like you are the one in the book. Great, great book.
