Déjà vu All Over Again

When I read Deja Vu, it was easy to see why it's an award winner. A fetching heroine, a hero with a past he's trying to outrun, and the fates that try to bring them back together after their time long ago as high school sweethearts. The writing crackles with a bounce that puts humor into every encounter. Death by car wash eliminates one character. While the story mounts, though, it turns to the essentials of our lives: love that lasts, and finding the kind that fits for our soul.

Deja Vu isn't glib or filled with formula, but it's a romance award winner. The author deserves the attention he's won with his Ben Franklin prize. This is the all so rare romance written by a man, but with a tender take on what women want for themselves in love. Highly recommended.
