5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific blend of romance and women's fiction 16 Aug 2002
By Karen Templeton - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've long been a fan of Curtiss Ann Matlock's work, with its subtle humor, rich, realistic characterizations and uplifting outlook on life. AT THE CORNER OF LOVE AND HEARTACHE, which continues her series set in Valentine, Oklahoma, delivers all that and more. In this book, she explores love from a host of angles -- between the middle-aged, just-engaged protagonists, caught up in the intense, sometimes doubting, flush of still-new love; between an older woman and a younger man; the pure, uncomplicated love of a "challenged" child for animals that enables him to heal them; the love of family and friends and neighbors that are the hallmark of all Matlock's stories. There is an undeniably spiritual bent to this story, but it is by no means preachy, nor does that aspect in any way diminish the joy of the natural physical expression of a man and woman's love for each other. Even though Marilee and Tate decide to "wait" for their wedding night, the pages shimmer with the ...tension of two people so much in love with each other, they can hardly believe they've been so incredibly blessed.

If you're looking for a "feel good" read with some real meat on its bones, this is it.

4.0 out of 5 stars engaging contemporary small-town romance 7 July 2002
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In Valentine, Oklahoma, Marilee James wonders if she lost her mind accepting relatively new Valentine Voice editor and her boss Tate Halloway's proposal. She was married once before, but her former husband Stuart left her too many times for his overseas and other jaunts to photograph the world forcing her to raise her special ed son Willie Lee by herself. Marilee also mothers her abandoned niece Corrine. Still Tate is a nice guy and Marilee likes being with him and thinks she loves him, but has doubts about a lifetime.

Stuart has followed the Voice as much as possible because he has never forgotten Marilee. Now he comes to Valentine to see the woman he let get away for the first time in two years. His charisma makes Marilee wonder if she is marrying the wrong man as the steady but kind Tate seems pale in comparison.

The sequel to COLD TEA ON A HOT DAY, AT THE CORNER OF LOVE AND HEARTACHE, is an engaging contemporary small-town romance. The story line focuses on Marilee struggling to nurture her two charges, maintain her employment and other civic activities, plan for her wedding without any motherly help to smoothly cruise her through the prenuptial, and worse her feelings for the two adult men in her life. The characters make the tale work in a Running Scared style as the audience wonders who will Marilee choose, as both are good people. Will she select the steadfast almost boring fiancé, the dynamic undependable ex husband, or neither? To learn whom read Curtiss Ann Matlock's wonderfully warm tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a family reunion that you just don't want to miss! 28 Aug 2002
By Sharon Galligar Chance - Published on Amazon.com

Curtiss Ann Matlock is the new queen of heartwarming romances. With this new novel, she invites her readers to return to the small town of Valentine, Oklahoma to visit with the residents and learn a little more about their lives. On this trip, a wedding in being planned, an ex-husband shows up needing help, and a child discovers a rare talent. It's like a family reunion that you just don't want to miss. Read it, share it with a friend. Can't wait for the next story!
