asked by ronmiller on November 20, 2006 10:47 PM
A tragic accident took everything that mattered to Rome Matthews -- his wife, Diane, and their two little boys. And it robbed Sarah Harper of her best friend. In the two years since the tragedy, Sarah has wanted to reach out to Rome, but she knew she needed to stay away, guarding the secret she had kept from him and Diane all those years -- that she was in love with her best friend's husband.
But now Rome needs her. And though another woman will hold his heart forever, Sarah agrees to be his wife, knowing that everything has a price, including love. Then something totally unexpected rekindles her hidden hope that a marriage of convenience will become a union of love. Will Rome keep fighting his own growing need for a woman who dares him to believe there are second chances in life…or will he give in to the healing power of love and miracles?

I have read this book many years ago and highly recommend it to all. I have re-read this book several times and I am not generally a re-reader.
Story of Rome who cannot get over the death of his wife and 2 small sons. His wife's best friend, Sarah has kept the fact to herself that she has always loved Rome and would have never betrayed her friend so she suffered in silence while her friend was alive. Circumstances bring the couple together and they marry for convenience with the stipulation that there will be no children. Sarah agrees but finds herself pregant and while Rome treats her badly during the pregnancy and I could give him a swift kick, I can in a very small way understand.
The ending is so gut wrenching. All I can say it what a wonderful read.

Sarah's Child is a great read. I did feel sorry for Rome and Sarah. But, Sarah was the only one that were able to get Rome out of his depression of losing his wife and children. It was her long time love and faith that got him out his of sorrow. Buy the book and you be the judge. Some viewers rating the book low. I felt it was more than a 5. Take a change and buy it I don't think you'll be sorry. A lovely story with a great ending.

This is truly, a very beautiful romantic story of two people who realize and cherish their fate for having given a chance to love. Rome Matthews and Sarah are very intense and likeable characters. Linda howard, effectively, manages to take us through the intricacies of a human relationship and show how two people can learn to love and live their life together with trust even after a major setback. I totally disagree with anyone who feels that Rome was cruel. He was unfair at times and didn't need anyone to make him realize that, but never cruel. There were just too many tender and poignant moments in this book to think otherwise. This book also featured Max(Rome and Sarah's friend) who has his own book called Almost forever which was quite good too. Romance lovers, please do not miss out on this beautiful book!
