I Loved This!
This author is on his way to the top if he keeps writing books like this one. I was really surprised at the simplicity of the story and yet the complexity. I got the message he was attempting to send and that is we should no judge people and learn to mind our business about stuff. His character, Raina, is a heroine and exemplifies the way we can all change if we really try. I liked how Reid made the boyfriend/husband her strength, we need more of that.


Wow!
The author himself actually handed me a bookmark on the Metro and the first thing I remembered was his handsome face, then I went to work, checked out and purchased his book. All I can say is that he's as good, if not better than those who are touted as the best. I say that because the story he writes is one that uplifts a woman and shows her man to be a helpmate, a REAL man. While there's drama, it's really just a backdrop to an interesting story. The first thirty or so had me squirming and I had to excuse myself from the room I was in so I could calm down. He's certainly an excellent writer and shows his intelligence by not using the main character's circumstance for some perverse pleasure. I've recommended it to everyone.
