Negative Positive
Title: This was one of my favorite romance novels.
Review: PETALS IN THE WIND is one of several novels that together make up Ms. Putney's FALLEN ANGEL series. As a whole, the series is thoughtful and mature, yet passionate, without losing the sense of wonder that draws the reader to romance novels. The hero and heroine of the story are strong-willed, compassionate, and prideful ex-lovers, who after many years of separation and tragedy, must learn to forgive each other and themselves. The background for the lovestory is the political intrigue that took place during the peace talks following the Napoleanic Wars, and the story introduces the hero in Ms. Putney's later novel ANGEL ROUGE. This novel deals with mature themes while being entertaining, and without becoming morose or preachy. This one is well worth keeping, and reading again on a rainy day, particularly as part of the series.
