A KISS REMEMBERED

Shelly Browning returns to college at age 26 after a disastrous divorce. Grant, a former high school teacher whom she had a crush on, is her professor. Torn between her recent divorce and resulting mistrust of men, Shelly sends mixed signals to Grant. Male and female voice changes are excellent, particularly the charac-terization of Shelly as a high school student. Soft romantic music provides musical breaks and story emphasis. Narrator Karen Ziemba depicts this classic love story in clear bell-like tones, changing to a hot, throaty contralto to enhance explicit sex scenes. Building passion fast-forwards the tension to the final detailed lovemaking scene. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 02/ JAN 03]
