Synopsis

“Pure satisfaction.” –RT Book Reviews

“You’ll eagerly keep reading to learn how the characters’ lives intersect and will sigh with pure satisfaction when it ends.” –RT Book Reviews, 4 1/2 Stars TOP PICK

After sixteen years, Susan Pettiford has come home to North Carolina for good. Thanks to an inheritance, she can start her own interior design business. It’s not quite the life Susan hoped for, but she’s determined to chart a new course...and shake things up.

When architect Lucas Hamilton accepts Susan’s dinner invitation, the result is a night of seduction neither can forget—yet neither intends to repeat. While Susan focuses on her new life, Lucas focuses on becoming wealthier than the absent father he resents. But when his father resurfaces, Lucas finds himself turning to Susan for counsel. And as their paths cross repeatedly, their feelings for each other strengthen. Yet the secret Susan is hiding may destroy any future they share...

“A love-conquers-all story with a few twists and turns to keep readers turning the pages. I enjoyed it from cover to cover. Getting Some of Her Own is classic Gwynne Forster.” —The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

From Publishers Weekly

The prolific Forster (Blues from Down Deep; When You Dance with the Devil; etc.) delivers a simplistic story of love and parenthood. Susan Pettiford, a 34-year-old interior designer, moves back to hometown Woodmore, N.C., from New York City after she inherits her aunt's house. Early on, Susan gets a hysterectomy, leaving her to feel doomed to spinsterhood even though there are sparks aplenty between her and hunky architect Lucas Hamilton. Susan won't let him get too close because she can't give him a family, and she fills her spiritual void with a tutoring gig, where she becomes very close with two heart-of-gold orphans. Susan's friend and neighbor, graphic designer Cassandra Hairston-Shepherd, meanwhile, isn't ready to start a family, which rankles her husband enough that he threatens to leave her. Lucas has fatherhood issues, too, and they come to a head when his long-absent father reappears on the scene. Everything works out neatly and sweetly, but some readers may have trouble with the book's underlying philosophy about women's roles and motherhood. (Aug.)
