No two people love the same. When you experience a love lost, whether through death or divorce, overcoming the loss can still be very challenging. Trying to move on too soon can be devastating to the next relationship. How soon is too soon? And how do you know when you are really in love? In Sense of Love by Sheryl Mallory-Johnson, Pat and Steve will try to figure out these questions for themselves from the day they meet until the day they realize the answers.
When Steve and Pat met, one played a little hard to get while the other was a pursuer taking no for an answer. There was something said that blew out the pursuer’s sails. Maybe it was at this time that they should have left well enough alone and moved on, but when they see each other again, on the campus, where Steve taught and Pat was a student, the interest in each other resurfaced. Their romance was like a whirlwind, and before long major decisions were being made altering the lives of everyone involved, including Pat’s two teenagers and Steve’s daughter from their respective previous marriages. When the winds calm, will everyone have their hearts intact? Or, will there be feelings of remorse and regret from yet another love lost?
Pat reminds me of women I know in real life. They have been through some things, and in order to make the best of their lives, they return to try to accomplish a major goal in their life. Steve is a man, who is sensitive and caring, but he knows what he wants, how he wants it and if he cannot have it his way, well the conversation is over. I enjoyed reading about these characters becoming aware of their issues in order to move on. I recommend Sense of Love to readers of romance and contemporary fiction.
