Reviews:
Cynthia Welsh (USA: AZ) (2008/11/30): This is a plausible, sweet, difficult, and humorous romance of two 60 year olds. Until the end of the book, the reader wonders why in the world the Roseman and Cacciamani families have this 2+ generation feud going on. The Want-To-Be Lovers, Julie and Romeo, are the only ones that seem to care to end the years of hate. The children don't know why the families hate each other but want to continue the battle with the energy of the next generation. I had no idea that florists could be so unkind to each other!
I liked the romance between Julie Roseman and Romeo Cacciamani that reminds us that love is not just for the young. But the deeper question raised by the author centers around the rationality of long held prejudice.
