Sweethearts:The Timeless Love Affair -- On-Screen and Off -- Between Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, updated edition
The TLDR review: this book is a detailed biography of two stars (Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy) known for making romantic musicals together.

"Your returned kiss – I feel it yet, my dear wife. I dreamed it would be like this. But this night you were intoxicating beyond my fondest dreams – so wonderful." - Nelson Eddy
Post thisNew York, NY (PRWEB) June 18, 2014 -- “When first my hand came in contact with that intimate glorious part of you, I almost died of ecstasy, and I knew you did too.” So wrote Nelson Eddy in his diary of a “honeymoon” week he spent with Jeanette MacDonald at Lake Tahoe in October 1943. “I remember telling you that you belonged to me – that I would never let you go... Sweet lovely hours, married hours of bliss. I insisted on getting breakfast and when I called you, you were just finishing your bath, so when I told you to hurry, you came in your morning robe of pale blue dotted Swiss. So beautiful you were... I watched your tiny fingers holding the coffee cup, the curve of your wrist as you poured my coffee. Oh my darling, what a mistress for a man’s home. I closed my eyes and imagined you p
