(More customer reviews)Wow - I just couldn't put it down. What a storyline. Ray is exploring twists and turns never before explored (at least in my reading world). :) I thoroughly enjoy Ray as a writer.
She does such a great job giving us just enough (and sometimes on the edge of not just enough) before switching back to the other characters.
I will say the ending, after 33 chapters (or less) came and ended too quickly - leaving me wanting more, more, more. I strongly recommend reading "Like the First Time".
My favorite character/couple was Claire and Gray - what romantics. John makes it extra special though. Brooke's materialistic sound though, comes a dime a dozen. She proved herself later on in the story...and gained some kudos with me when it came to Mark and Amy.
Even though fiction - it sounds very close to the world in which I live. The setting is very real - professional women out there trying to "make it happen"/succeed against the odds and here comes a layoff - if that's not a very familiar occurance in today's times - I don't know what is.
As well, we all have a passion/craft/hobby that we never thought could actually make us big money; Enough to turn into a primary source of income. If it were not for Lorraine's persistence and vision (as well as dear Margaret too) - Bliss would never have evolved and succeeded.
Ahhhhhh - what a refreshing and romantic novel. And, perfect to have read it during the summer. A great summertime read.
Read it for yoruself - to fill in all the blanks I left. :)
