Never Too Late by Robyn Carr
4.0
NEVER TOO LATE is one of Robyn Carr's few books not related to any of her series. As she has done in other romances, the author weaves a few different story lines into the mix. If I could sum up this book in one word it would be 'relationships'.
First and foremost, it is about Clare Wilson. Found out again for the umpteenth time, her husband is cheating on her. They are currently separated, their son can't stand his own father and yet the miserable bas**rd wants his family back. Too little, too late he knows he has screwed up again. The difference? Clare has finally had it.
She has just left her old house after finding Roger in bed with another woman when she is stopped for speeding. The police officer, Sam, cites her a warning and then lets her go. Soon after, and not her fault, she is in an accident. That same policeman witnesses everything and stays with her until the ambulance comes. In the months after, he keeps tabs on her.
So there is a relationship that develops between Clare and Sam. The romance also contains secondary stories about Clare's older sister Maggie and her husband. Another with Clare and an old flame from years ago. And yet another between Sarah, Clare's younger sister, and someone else. And then there is still Roger, thinking he might have a chance at repairing his marriage even though he is told over and over, it is done.
Whew! The angst. By then end I was worn out but in a good way. The book is more of a character study of the interaction between the sisters, their strengths and weaknesses and how it affects their relationships with men. The story also contained a number of realistic touches that made it seem especially authentic; not everyone is perfect including Clare. All I can say is by the time you finish NEVER TOO LATE, be sure and have something light and humorous ready to read.
