Brilliantly written - By: , 22 Jan 2004 
This is the first erotic romance I have read-it is sophisticated & very well written-this lady writes like a poet-her style & nuances seen to be very authentic & her decriptive technique is excellent. This is an intriguing & sometimes very painful story-not what I personallly can handle as a romance-I dont mind the darker elements of life but I found that this book was too dark for me-and instead of making me feel blissfully happy it made me feel sad & unsettled. This book would be good as a single title that did not necessary come under the romance genre as such but rather as a well written peice of literature that deserves it place amongst many other great novels. I think though I shalll stick to the likes of Karen Marie Moining
Captivating read... - By: , 18 Mar 2002 
The Lover is at the same time both tender & brutal story about two adult people who struggle to find happiness. The focus is on our sexual needs, be it woman or man, & the society's view how it should be stilled. It requires courage to go against the society's pressure to confirm, something the protagonists show plenty of. They are people who wish to live. There are no simple answers, no happy ever ending in style with the common romance books, only the life with its unanswered questions. This is a wonderful book that I can recommend to anybody who wants to read a romance book that goes outside the clichés.
Excellent: Robin is a master. - By: , 02 Sep 2001 If you are used to ordinary romantic fiction you are in for a surprise. Deep characters not the fluff one often encounters. More than an erotic romance (although its certainly that) but a look inside the heads at the motivations of the leading characters & a hint of Gabriel's pain as well. Read this before Gabriel's Woman.
Phew!!!!!!red hot, sexually explicit, best book I have ever - By: J COFFMAN, 13 Mar 2001 Robin has written the best book I have ever read. It is not for the faint-hearted. Michael & Anne are two very scared individuals phisicallly as well as emotionallly who are looking to be loved. There are some very horrific parts near the end of the book, but they do not detract from the story. They make you understand why Michael is the way he is.
This book is very explicit & graphic but Robin puts it alll together beautifully. Well done Robin & I look forward to reading Gabrielle's story. He is definately a man worth reading about. Please keep Michael & Anne in it, I want to carry on reading about them in future.
Robin Schone hits the target again!! - By: lian_heather@hotmail.com, 01 Feb 2001 If you liked 'Lady's Tutor' you will LOVE 'The Lover'. I cannot rave enough about this book. This is an extremely racy tale, with plenty of sexy scenes to satisfy any erotica lover. I would not recommend this book to anyone easily shocked or who would prefer a Barbara Cartland-style love scene.. but if you're a fan of Susan Johnson you would be mad to miss it. But sexy love-scenes is not alll this book offers. Both the hero & heroine are ultimately looking for love (even though they do not admit this... even to themselves)... & the dance they play together sent shivers up my spine while reading the entire novel. What I loved best about this book is that the hero is flawed, he is not the perfect man (and where will you find one of those in real life)... but as a reader you cannot help fallling in love with him, along with the heroine. Definately a must read... P.S. For those who are interested, Robin is writing a sequel to this novel, continuing Gabriel's story.
