About the Book:
Brian Weller is a haunted man. It’s been two years since the tragic accident that left his three-year-old son dead and his wife in an irreversible coma. A popular author of mega-selling thrillers, Brian’s life has reached a crossroads: his new book is stalled, his wife’s prognosis is dire, and he teeters on the brink of despair.

Everything changes the morning an e-mail arrives from Boston artist Joanna Richman. Her heartfelt note brings back all the poignant memories: the night their eyes met, the fiery passion of their short-lived affair, and the agonizing moment he was forced to leave Joanna forever. Now, fifteen years later, the guilt and anger threaten to overwhelm him. Vowing to make things right, Brian arranges a book-signing tour that will take him back to Boston. He is eager to see Joanna again, but remains unsure where their reunion will lead. One thing is certain: the forces that tore their love asunder will stop at nothing to keep them apart.


Filled with tender romance and taut suspense, A Note from an Old Acquaintance is an unforgettable story about fate, honor, and the power of true love.

My thoughts:
From the moment I started reading the first page I was entertained!  I really enjoyed this book.  Bill Walker has a way of helping the reader really feel the emotions of the characters.  I liked the suspense and the romance.  I liked how the character Brian, saw the connection of his wife and his old aquaintance, and his love for both.  I also liked how although the characters aged, and changed in ways, Walker did not have them change too dramatically.  It was a good tie between the past and present.   Although part of the story felt a little predictable, it did leave you not really knowing how it was going to end.  It was a good combination.  I would definitely read any future books by Bill Walker.
