Not Really

Mrs. Forester is truly blessed to write the kinds of romances she does. I just finished reading Against All Odds. I enjoyed it tremendously. Adam and Melissa had a lot of turbalance in their lives because of a stupid family fued which didn't make a bit of sense and also because of their pride. It's been said that pride will kill you and at one point I thought their relationship was headed towards death door. Emily, Melissas mother, who had sacrificed her love for BH had a love that stood the test of time. But in the end, BH and Emily finally married and so did Adam and Melissa. This is a great book and a can't put down one.

A great read

In my opinion,Gwynne Forster is one of the very top romance writers writing today. And this book lives up to Ms. Forster's high standards. The writer from Tortoal British Virgin Islands is misled. Against All Odds is Forster's second book, published in 1996, and BEYOND DESIRE is her eleventh or twelth, I'm not sure which, published in 1999. So to say Forster should "go back" to writing as she did in Beyond Desire doesn't make sense. Good writers improve as they write. I enjoyed AGAINST ALL ODDS, I've read it four times from start to finish. It is a very literate book. If you're looking for something trite, don't read Forster. I have everything she's written, and I always get a great read.

Gwynne Forster Triumphs -- Whatever the Odds

Three reasons I love Gwynne Forster's novels: 1. a larger-than-life hunk of a hero, as well known for his integrity as his good looks. 2. A sexy, spirited heroine, who is the perfect match for her guy in both brains and beauty and 3. sparkling, sassy repartee that makes you wish you knew a man who'd say those things to you. Against All Odds has that and more. Ms. Forster elevates the familiar feuding families plotline to a fine art, weaving a sensuous story you simply can't put down. An intense, riveting read from start to finish.

A reality come true.

It is wonderful, exciting and hard to put down. Many nights I lay there thinking, just one more chapter.By then it's early the next morning, time to go to work. But before you go, you call the person that introduced you to this wonderful book to discuss it. A wonderful ride!!

It's time for the Family Feud!

The Montagues and Capulets of "Romeo and Juliet" and the Hatfields and McCoys could have learned a few things from the Hayes-Grant and Roundtree clans. This Black version of the family feud has been festering for generations. Inevitably, Adam Roundtree and Melissa Grant fall in love. To absolutely no one's surprise, the families don't approve. What IS surprising is Gwynne Forster's ability to take an extremely predictable premise and turn it into a very enjoyable story -- against all odds.
