Glass artist, Amanda St. Claire has fled her hometown of Portland, Oregon, for Seattle, Washington and has been teaching at the Pilchick Glass School. Her not-so-nice boyfriend, Tom Webster, was killed and Amanda was falsely accused of his murder. Tom was cheating on Amanda and, worse yet, was involved in selling drugs illegally. Portland police detective Sam Richardson finds that one of Tom's girlfriends had set up Amanda for Tom's murder and he gets Amanda cleared of the charges. Sam and Amanda are deeply attracted to each other but she flees Portland, finding the gossip about her more than bothersome. Now that she is moving back to Portland, Sam is happy to help Amanda pack and is delighted to share hot and steamy moments with her in bed, but he is worried for her safety. Amanda has had numerous security system failures at her home and this concerns Sam. Then, Portland glass artist Eubie Kane claims that Amanda is stealing his ideas, but before he can do much, Eubie is murdered. Sam and Amanda believe that they've found true love with each other after they've both endured broken relationships, but can Sam protect Amanda from the dangers around her?
Author Peggy Bird's "Loving Again" is a delightfully well-written romance with lots of sex and a great story line as well. Sam and Amanda’s romance is steamy and plot surrounding Amanda's involvement with her former boyfriend’s criminal associates is a good one.

"Loving Again" will be read and adored by "romance" readers and also by readers in general as it's a good story that goes beyond just pages of lust and loving.
