Warning, if you were looking for a light read skip this one. It may depress you lol.
A DAY IN APRIL is a one big tear-jerker of a romance novel with a HEA. The emotional pain the heroine goes through is heart felt by readers, the scenes beautifully written, her torment will have you weeping, keep a tissue handy while reading this. As is the norm for this author, the sensual scenes were extra-steamy, the hero very sensitive and tortured, I can't say enough good things about this book!
By far this authors best book. 4.5 stars!

It was heartbreaking to read that Beth Melbourne went through all those heartwrenching events, being raped, her father having a nasty stroke that paralyzed him and her calling off the wedding to Zach Winslow, that would of broke most of us in half. She hung in there by going to school and owning her own business and holding on the shares of the papermill, for her vegetated father and her brother. And to read that it all worked out in the end made my heart cry for her because it took so long(17-years).

A great book! However, I found it amazing to read the first reviewer who gave it such a low score - did we read the same book? I normally prefer to read murder/suspense novels but thought I would give this one a go - take my word for it, if you want to have an enjoyable read, don't go past this one.

Reading this book had to be the most painful, gut-wrenching experience of my life. The tragedies and sorrows just kept coming and coming! I mean, I don't need for the books I read to be all sweetness and light, but this was ridiculous. It seemed to be a test of how much misery one human being can endure before they give up and/or kill themselves. True, the romance was there, and it was powerful, but - jeesh!!So, to sum up, if you're an avid reader of depressing Oprah-recommended fare and tragedy in general, this book is all for you. As for me and my reading buddies, we're saying, AAHHHH!! and running the other way. Fast.

This book is the best ive read in years Mary Lynn Baxter has done a wonderful job. Her masterpiece is about a young girl named Beth Melbourne whose life was shattered at the tender age of 18. Following that heartbreaking incident she fled her hometown Shawnee,Louisiana in search hope to fill her wounds. I hope whoever reads this review reads this wonderful book today you wont regret it.
