Tara Gets A Family
17 Dec 2002
By T. B. Robinson
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The question: Can Alexis and Telford have a "Once In A Lifetime" love?
Combine Alexis and Tara Stevensons with the wealthy Harrington men Telford, Drake and Russ, throw in Mr. Henry the cook, Jack the ...[very not nice] ex husband and we have a lethal combination of love, lust, lies, secrets, and mistrust.
Jack gives up all rights to his precocious daughter, Tara, for money and wealth. Forcing Alexis to forge a new life for herself and Tara. In order to do this, she takes a job as a homemaker for the Harrington Men. Tara wraps all the men in the house, including Henry, around her little finger as soon as they talk to her.
Assorted sparks fly between Alexis and the men of the house. Good ones, bad ones,and indifferent ones, however the sparks which disturbs her the most are the sparks between she and Telford.
Read Ms. Forster's book to see and feel the strength, love, and trust of each character as they interact with each other. Once In A Lifetime is a page turner if ever I read one.

By Dawn R Reeves
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
What becomes of a divorced woman with a young child starting anew? Alexis Stevenson has divorced her husband and abandoned the life she knows; what is next for Alexis? Alexis secures a position as a home manager at Harrington House in rural Maryland. Telford Harrington, along with his brothers Drake and Russ are the proprietors of Harrington House and together with their cook, the humorous and protective Mr. Henry, Harrington House has become a mansion of brooding bachelors. When Alexis reports to work with an inquisitive four-year old child at her side, the fireworks begin.
The Harrington brothers, although rich and successful in business, have not led the ideal life. Each brother is driven but Telford has something to prove and is obsessive in his business dealings. Alexis has secrets she will not reveal and is determined to turn Harrington House into a home. With an endearing heart and a captivating spirit, Tara, Alexis' daughter, has enthralled the men of Harrington House to the satisfaction of Alexis. Can this little girl change the hearts and minds of men who are accustomed to their tranquility and space? Can she change the mind of her mother who does not want to put her trust in relationships again?
Once In A Lifetime provides just enough intrigue to keep you interested in how the story plays out and the right amount of sensuous romance to keep the reader begging for more from the characters. Through the soul of a little girl, Gwynne Forster has given the reader an enchanting novel of letting go of the past and learning to trust again so that your heart can receive the love that is waiting.

Fun and Entertaining
21 Mar 2004
By T. Rhythm Knight
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Once in a Lifetime, by Gwynne Forster, is a delightful read. Forster mixes a beautiful housekeeper and her daughter into a batter spiced with three brothers and a grouchy cook. Next, she turns up the heat by adding a little romance and some mischief. When all is said and done, she serves up a delightful treat that is hard to resist.
This book is a must read for romance lovers. Forster's wit shines forth as she unveils a plot laced with love and ultimately trust. The characters were well-developed and before the end of the book I felt as if I knew each one of them personally.
If you are looking for a funny and relaxing read, I recommend this book. Once you have read a book by Ms. Forster, you will want to do it more than once in a lifetime.
