Summary: An exceptional piece of fiction
Comment: I read AGAINST THE WIND because of the conflicing reviews here, and because I suspected that at least two reflected negative attitudes about interracial relations. As a man, a sociologist who rarely reads romances, this book surprised me in a pleasant and highly gratifying way. Ms. Forster is an excellent story teller, and her characterizations in this story are nothing short of supberb. I'm wonder if the "reader from Ohio" actually read the book. It is not about race relations at all, and the author avoids that pitfall. As a man, I marveled at the character, Jordan Saber, and wondered how a woman could so aptly show how a man feels and reacts in situations such as are depicted in this book. It's a great read, and I will be reading more of Gwynne Forster's work. I highly recommend it to all who want an intelligent, fast paced and intertaining story.

Summary: Wonderful love story and fabulous writing
Comment: I read this story until I finished it. The next night, I read it again. I was routing for Jordan and Leslie as if they had been real live people. Sometimes, I hurt for them, especially for Jordan, a prince of a man. He had such patience and such a profound love for leslie. And though she loved him all the way to her soul, her past experiences still gripped her like icicles around a tree. Any woman who had come within seconds of being raped would have behaved as she did. In the end, they truimph together. I don't understand the post by Ronnel of Brooklyn. It bears no relation to the book, AGAINST THE WIND, that I read. I loved this book. It is a great story and quality writing in any genre. Gwynne Forster is a first class writer.

Summary: Against the Wall...
Comment: That's what this book should have been titled, because I felt like I was banging my *head* against the wall. This book was honestly the worst I have read in a long time. The character of Leslie is so frustrating and indesicive. One minute she wants Jordan and the next she doesn't. On and on, back and forth. Her attitude sucked all the romance out of the novel. By the half-way point, I was hoping another heroine would pop up to grab Jordan's attention. I'm not sure what Ms. Forster was going for when developing the character of Leslie...but she has succeeded in creating one of the most unlikeable, wishy-washy, teases that I have ever had the displeasure of reading about. Sorry, but true.
Trust me on this...save your money and use it on titled like "Three Wishes" or "At Last". There are so many to choose from there is no need to endure this dribble.
