PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Brian Weller is a haunted man. It’s been two years since the tragic accident that left his three-year-old son dead and his wife in an irreversible coma. A popular author of mega- selling thrillers, Brian’s life has reached a crossroads: his new book is stalled, his wife’s prognosis is dire, and he teeters on the brink of despair. Everything changes the morning an e- mail arrives from Boston artist Joanna Richman. Her heartfelt note brings back all the poignant memories: the night their eyes met, the fiery passion of their short- lived affair, and the agonizing moment he was forced to leave Joanna forever. Now, fifteen years later, the guilt and anger threaten to overwhelm him. Vowing to make things right, Brian arranges a book- signing tour that will take him back to Boston. He is eager to see Joanna again, but remains unsure where their reunion will lead. One thing is certain: the forces that tore their love asunder will stop at nothing to keep them apart. Filled with tender romance and taut suspense, A Note from an Old Acquaintance is an unforgettable story about fate, honor, and the power of true love.

MY THOUGHTS:
I really enjoyed reading this book. If you love a good love story that’s not all neatly wrapped and delivered than it’s a story for you. Mr. Walker is able to engaged his readers in the lives of his characters. He also makes the characters likeable even if they don’t have the best traits. In my opinion, Mr. Walker is a truly gifted storyteller. The story made me wonder what I would do if I received a note from an old acquaintance….something to think about.
