A Manic Kind of Love that Captures the Hearts of Its Readers
Tulsa, OK- September 26 2011-
A Manic Kind of Love by Colleen Michaels is the story of two people who meet each other under tragic circumstances and are later reunited by fate. In an era in which romance has been supplemented with what's quick and easy, Ian and Liz must struggle to let go of the past and embrace their love. Along the way, readers will wonder, "Will they take the easy way out or are their bonds of friendship and intimacy enough to prove true love is worth waiting for in the end?"
When Ian, an EMS worker, responds to a suicide call, he meets the oversexed daughter of the victim, Amy, who reminds him of the perks of being in a job that exposes him to "lonely, vulnerable women." Before Ian can make his move, Amy's "older, sexier, brunette sister," Liz, chastises him, suggesting that he play with someone his own age. Ian is intrigued by the "beautiful, charismatic, intoxicating woman who had just stood up to me" reflecting that "No woman had ever done that to me before." Together, they must face Ian's depression, as well as Liz's own battle with mental health that rages under her cool façade.
A Manic Kind of Love is absolutely spellbinding; keeping readers engrossed from cover to cover with its story of love that faces many challenges and the multi-faceted characters rendered by Michaels. The story of Ian and Liz is a powerful reminder that true love is something that everyone dreams about, but that very few people have the patience to wait for or strength to endure challenges posed. Michaels, who is quickly becoming established as a romance novelist is set to release two more novels in 2012: I Found My Heart in Prague and A Muse Inspires True Love, which romantics everywhere will be anxiously waiting for.
