Description from the amazon:
News reporter Susan Allison is looking for the perfect story about true love, though she doubts where such a thing really exists.
Neil Thomas, Jr. wants the world to know about his parents’ bittersweet love story: On February 14, 1944, Caroline Thomas said good-bye to her beloved husband, a Navy pilot sent to the Pacific.
For fifty years, she waited for him—until a miracle happened, and she received his lost valentine…
In the present day, when Susan and Neil meet, can the story of Neil’s parents bring them together in a love as powerful as she dreams of and he remembers?
Romantic quote:
Because love means more, grows deeper, if you can overcome the thorns.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): rose
A couple sentimental romances are portrayed in this book.
Also, a look into WWII action in the Philippines.
And, good syrupy moments included ;-D
Lord Alfred Tennyson's quote sums it up well...
Than never to have loved at all."
I do plan on watching the movie version of this.
