However, it so thoughtfully written that it will appeal to both women and men of a certain age, and also to younger readers who enjoy sweet and sensual romance with an added element of suspense. As Jean Kingston's long marriage to an unfaithful husband finally comes to an end, she meets a handsome silver-haired widower, Nick Cameron. Their initial attraction leads to a warm friendship which grows into a passionate love affair. Not everyone is as happy as Jean and Nick about their deepening relationship, and their grown children do their best to come between them. They are also threatened by an unknown stalker who seems hell-bent on causing them harm. The violence is real, but who hates them enough to threaten not only their happiness, but their very lives? The title of the book refers to my favorite movie, "Show Boat" (1951), and I was quite delighted by the references to the film scattered throughout the book. Ladies, let me say this about Nick Cameron: They don't make 'em like that anymore! He is protective, charming, courtly, and loving! I want a "Nick" of my very own! ...more
