AlTonya Washington returns with another segment in the lives of the Ramsey Family with A Lover’s Regret. Melina and Yohan were college sweethearts that possessed a love so strong that they were confident no one could come between them. But Melina knew the truth about a secret that haunted Yohan and his family. Unable to live with the secret, Melina tried to tell Yohan but Yohan’s father, Marcus Ramsey, who is the root of the secret, stopped her. Marcus also forced Melina with threats. Eight years later, Melina returns to finally face Yohan. However, she learned another secret that could prove to be more harmful to Yohan.
Washington’s story is packed with suspense. The loving feelings shared between Melina and Yohan were felt as strongly as the hatred Yohan felt for his father, Marcus. However, having not read any of the previous novels, this reviewer was a little confused in the beginning of the novel as I tried to figure out why the entire family hated their father. As the story progressed it began to move quickly and put everything in place. Fans of Washington, I am sure, will not have as much trouble with this story. I will admit, I am now interested in reading the prior novels to put things in perspective.
