Publisher's summary

In the time honored tradition of such beloved novels as Bridges of Madison County, The Notebook, The Lost Valentine, and Class Reunion comes from bestselling author R. Barri Flowers, Forever Sweethearts, a nostalgic and poignant tale of young love gone awry, second chances, and new beginnings.

Taylor Holland, forty-six, is a professor of women's studies at Michigan State University. She has been married for nearly twenty years to a criminology professor, Paul Holland, and has a nineteen-year-old daughter, Audra, attending Oxford University.

After ignoring the underlying tensions in her marriage, they come into greater focus when Taylor receives a phone call from a hot new reality television series that reunites old lovers, called Forever Sweethearts. She is invited to appear on the show with her first love and college sweetheart, Vaughn Mitchell.

Taylor had not seen Vaughn in twenty-five years - not since he inexplicably broke off their engagement, leaving her devastated and disillusioned. Though wary of going down that road again, Taylor agrees to participate in the reality series' reunion in New York City.

Taylor hopes that by doing so she can finally put closure to that part of her life, where feelings and frustrations had continued to linger. She had not counted on Vaughn's determination to "make things right" or her renewed attraction to him.

Vaughn Mitchell, forty-seven, is a Harvard Law School graduate and corporate lawyer living in Chicago. Divorced with a twenty-year-old daughter, Nicole, Vaughn seeks out his first love for old times' sake, stirring up memories and desires neither can ignore.

After reuniting on Forever Sweethearts, a reluctant Taylor begins corresponding with Vaughn by e-mail, leading to discovery, rediscovery, passion, promise, and the bridging of twenty-five years that were lost in time, distance, and regrets.

Forever Sweethearts will remind readers of other heartwarming relationship novels written by some of today's bestselling authors such as Nicholas Sparks, Kristin Hannah, Richard Paul Evans, Danielle Steel, Nicholas Evans, and Jodi Picoult

UGH!

This is the story of a cheating middle age couple, a ex & a young troubled (dumb) student. The husband should have been horse whipped, (HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HIS 20 YEAR OLD STUDENT). The wife had every reason to walk before she began her affair with her ex or found out about the piece on the side. The scene with the mistress in the hospital was ridiculous, Only a man would think that the wife would hug & console the mistress after her husband has a heart attack while having sex with said mistress. & only a young dumb (girl) would have still been at the hospital when the wife arrived. The entire story was hard to stomach.
