An Independent Wife

An Independent Wife by Linda Howard

Amazon Description:

“Seven years after her husband walked out on her, Sallie Jerome Baines has finally recovered from her broken heart and picked up the pieces of her life. She’s lost weight, loosened up and turned her talents to news reporting for one of America’s leading magazines. Finally, she has become the independent, self-possessed woman her husband Rhydon always wanted her to be. When Rhydon unexpectedly re-enters her life, joining the magazine she works for as the new publisher, Sallie wonders if her former husband will even recognize her. Of course, having obtained her hard-won independence, there’s no way she would ever want Rhy back … or would she?”

My Thoughts:

I really enjoy some of Linda Howard’s more current work. Going back to her earlier stuff is very random, though. Her male characters are often abusive. She was doing dysfunctional males before it was “in.” This one is not so great…not as bad as some others.
