"Acts of Love," reviewed.

"'You think I can’t be hurt?' Radley demands of Bernadette in Acts of Love. 'You think I’m not as vulnerable as you, just because I’m a man?'

Radley is, in the end, badly hurt by Bernadette, who kisses another man in a moment of weakness. He leaves her sobbing on her own, and she has to beg for his approval by writing a novel about their love.

At the end of Acts of Love, Radley appears at Bernadette’s book signing. He pronounces her book 'quite readable' and notes that 'I quite liked the genius botanist chap.' Bernadette should dedicate the book, he instructs her, to 'Radley, the love of my life, who I wronged most terribly.'”
