Highly recommended,
Highly recommended
The characters in Barbara Freethy’s books are always so well drawn. They feel very real and come alive for me. Rachel is dealing with the loss of her husband while still trying to hold the rest of her family together. Dylan is dealing with the loss of his best friend and the feelings he’s always had for Rachel. These two have to come together to find the truth and it’s a very well-written story. I enjoyed it a great deal.

|Romantic tale of second chances,
Dylan has always been in love with Rachel, but she has been a forbidden fruit, as she was married to his business partner, Gary. They shared a passionate kiss on the eve of her wedding, when she expressed doubts about her wedding. Dylan has managed to keep his distance for the last nine years, only to be thrust back into her world after Gary dies in a tragic car accident. Rachel discovers that Gary might have led a double life and wants Dylan’s help in piecing together Gary’s last days.
Upon arriving at Rachel’s family farm, he is saddened to see the frame of the dream house that Gary designed for Rachel. This was the one project that Dylan could not bring himself to complete with Gary, but decides that he will do this one last thing for Gary. This brings him closer to Rachel and her family. Little do they both know that they still have feelings for each other, and that passionate kiss is still on both their minds.
This is a poignant tale of first love, loss, and finding a way to love again. With a romantic sub-story about a magical apple tree that bears fruit that casts a spell on lovers; according to legend. It also begs the question of who Rachel was really meant to ultimately be with.

|Love in the apple orchard,
While I usually love Freethy’s books, I can’t give this one the top 5 star mark because I find the heroine and her sister to be a bit naive for American women in the modern age. However, despite its faults, it still turns into a good “second chance” love story. The hangups of the 2 sisters and the hero are partly explained by their backgrounds, but there are things that give me pause (like too many unnecessary secrets being kept). That being said, it’s still a good read for a rainy day.

|The Clip+ does everything it needs to, and nothing it doesn’t.,
I owned the first generation clip, and the new 8gb clip+ retains everything that was great about the first while adding all around refinements.
Pros:
– Overall build quality has improved, but especially with the clip mechanism.
– Files on MicroSD integrate seemlessly with the on board memory.
– The volume and power buttons have more ergonomic placement on the device.
– Sound quality remains great.
– Audiobook files can be sped up slightly to save some “reading” time.
– The interface is a little smoother and nicer to move through.
– The square trackpad makes it easier to navigate without looking at the player. (good for runners)
Cons:
– No cap on the MicroSD slot, so that could potentially get dirty.
If you don’t need gimmicks such as touch screens and web browsers, then this player is quite possibly the best on the market for value, size, and quality. The Clip+ is definitely worth the few extra bucks over what the first gen clip is selling for now.
UPDATE: Having used the product for a while the one thing I’m disappointed with is battery life. The meter drains down to 50% at the expected pace, and then goes from 50% to 0 quite fast. I haven’t timed it but i’m sure the battery life (using all default settings) is quite less than the advertised 14-15 hours.

|Great upgrade to an already great budget player,
If all you are looking for is a great sounding, small, cheap mp3 player with a display and expandability options, then the clip + is your best choice. This is very similar to the old clip with the following major differences:
– two minor button placement changes (improvement)
– UI is a bit smoother (menus scroll now)
– volume normalizing/gain
– micro-SD slot for up to 16 added gigs (which is huge)
– a little thicker, probably due to SD support
– clip is no longer removable (depending on your preference, this is a good or bad thing-guess you could just rip it off and file it down if you wanted to)
As always, it sounds great and blows away the iPod Shuffle in terms of value. So light and small–great for the gym. If you need your mp3 player to play games, surf the internet or serve double purpose as a grocery list, then this isn’t for you, but if you’re on a budget or just need something that plays music and does so well, this is the one.

|Really nice technical improvements, but didn’t need to “fix” the outside of it.,
So recently, because I love my Sansa Clip so much for exercising, and I thought I could use one more, I picked one of these up at Bestbuy. I have used it for about a week so I can’t say anything about the longetivity of the new Clip Plus, but I can tell you about everything else. First I will give you the cons since there is only one and that is also only about preference. I personally LOVED the sleek look of the original sansa clip, but that has been replaced with a sort of glittery finish on the front. That is about it and to add to this, everything else from the outside such as the plastic used has been revamped to feel better in your hands and is just overall better quality. Now on to the most important part, the features. The main thing that sets this apart from the original clip is the addition of a microSD card slot. This can take up to a 32gb microSD card, so if you were to pair one with this, you could potentially get a 36(!)gb memory for this puny little item. That is the next thing I will get into, the size. If you haven’t ever heard about the original sansa clip, basically, Sandisk designed this line of Sansa for portability and mainly for exercise. It feels really good in the hand and the non removable clip on the back can clip on to virtually anything. Next is the display. The menu remains much of the same, but Sansa also added slotRadio compatibility and a nicer flow to menu if you’re into that. Finally we’ll go to the placement of the buttons. On the old sansa clip, there was a button the side for power and hold, but a lot of clip owners including me found that uncomfortable. To cope with this, Sandisk put the power button on the top and put the hold funtion to holding the home button for about 3 seconds. So overall, this is a fantastic MP3 player in any category, but if you are in the market for one for the gym, pass up the Ipod Shuffle for 79$ with no screen and counter-intuitiveness(in my opinion) and get this really nice compact MP3 player for only 50$ for the 4gb, 40$ for the 2gb and 70$ for the 8gb. Thank you and I hope this review helps.
