Stevie Turner's A Rather Unusual Romance is exactly that. It's
unusual because the primary characters are middle-aged. It's
unsusual because their "meet cute" is anything but - they're both
cancer patients. It's unusual because that's treated as a
complication in the lives of Erin Mason and Alan Beaumont, rather
than as a sentence of death. A hopeful, humorous, down-to-earth
love story, partly based on reality, A Rather Unusual Romance
neatly delivers on its title's promise. - Thom Stark You can tell
that Stevie Turner really poured her heart onto each and every
page. She mixed in angst and true heartwarming stories into just a
wonderful well rounded book. Romance usually isn't my thing but my
wife loved this book so much I had to read it and I'm glad I
did.
We are looking for more Stevie Turner books to read so we can share
out thoughts on them. I can't wait. (just don't tell my wife!). -
Todd Thiede This one held me easily. A Rather Unusual Romance by
Stevie Turner is an enjoyable read. A different kind of romance
book for sure. I was initially drawn to it because I like stories
based on actual events. The author pulled off a really great
telling. I loved it. Five stars. - B.Nelson This was one of those
reads that I was a little not sure about reading due to its subject
matter but I will say I am so glad that it did read it. The story
really presents finding love after both of the main characters had
health issues [cancer]. How the author was able to give the readers
a read that will capture your heartstrings, offering even some
humor that seem to helped balance it all out was simply well done.
It was definite that these two people were in need of someone who
would understand just what they're going through. With Erin and
Alan having this same aliment ['life event'] made their story
really look at this picture where the reader could see just what
was happening for each other as they went through this ordeal
together. Will they find love? How will each of their children take
to the newness in each of their parents new life? I don't think
that Erin's ex should have have had anything to say one way or the
other due to what he had done. To get all of this story the reader
will have to pick up this extremely good read and see how well this
author gives such a well written story that definitely shows 'how
love can flourish even in the unlikeliest of circumstances.' There
was really something about this read that I really liked! Would I
recommend? YES! - Arlena Dean
