Do your thing girl

This is another great read from Gwen.Melinda, a 29 year old school teacher and pianist who married Prescott for his want of a companion and for her to get away from her overbearing hell and brimstone preaching father. Their marriage was never consummated because it wasn't that type of marriage and both were totally happy with that arrangement, so therefore, she was still a virgin. After her aging husband passed, in his will he left one stipulation and that was for her to set up a foundation in his name for non-reading children and to marry within one year of his demise. To her surprise, she found out that her husband was a millionaire. Blake, family attorney and executor of the Prescott estate who had admirred Melinda for the five years she was married but never made a move on her and even now after Prescotts death he felt he would be doing a disservice to his friend by approaching his feelings for his widow but fate had stepped in and began to merge Melinda and Blake together for what would be an eternity. A can't put down book. I know you will enjoy this great romance novel.

Scalet Woman

This is the first book I read by Gwynne Foster. I look forward toreading more of her books. I find this story to be like people Isometime deal with. In saying that they believe what they were before they get to know that person. I am glad that Blake finallylisten to his heart and not what other people were saying. But Ihave to say I thought for awhile Blake was really after the moneybut I'm glad Love ended up being his real attraction. I love themessage Prescott left them giving them his blessing and for pushing them together. God Bless.

The Lady Stands Alone

Melinda Rodgers is a 29-year old widow. Her late husband was Prescott Rodgers one of Ellicot City's wealthiest and most prominent citizens. Many of the town's citizens view Melinda as a gold digger because Prescott was in his 60s and Melinda hadn't even reached age 30 yet. They thought this despite the fact that when Melinda married Prescott that she continued at her teaching job. When Prescott pasesd away Melinda not only lost her husband she lost her best friend. Blake Hunter was Prescott's attorney and is the executor of Prescott's estate, he viewed Melinda pretty much the same as the rest of the town did. Blake had a hard time even being around Melinda because despite the fact that he thought she was a gold digger he was in love with her, and it would take every part of his being to fight his feelings. The stipulations of Prescott's will were very specific: Melinda must set up a foundation for literacy in Ellicot City and she must get married within as year, Melinda was very hurt and felt betrayed that she had to do these things to gain her late husband's inheritance. Melinda and Prescott were very close and she felt that he was trying to hurt her by throwing these curve balls into his will. As if the terms of the will aren't enough Melinda has to deal with her domineering preacher father who feels that he deserves part of her inheritance, Blake's animosity towards her, the whole town gossiping behind her back and men coming out of the woodwork to marry her for the inheritance. These issues however do not prove to be her biggest challenge: fighting her feelings for Blake prove to be her biggest fight. Gwynne Forster has once again created a masterpiece and I can hardly wait for her next offering. On the RAW scale Scarlet Woman is a 5.Reviewed by Simone A. Hawks

Another great story from Gwynne Forster

I truly enjoyed Gwynne Forster's Scarlet Woman, with it's themes of small-town smallmindedness. forgiveness and finding and nuturing true love. Gwynne is a master storyteller whose work never disappoints. I am so looking forward to her first mainstream, When Twilight Comes, that will be out in February.

SCARLET WOMAN

SCARLETT WOMAN IS THE BEST. THE STORY TELLS OF HOW ONE PERSON CAN BE EASILY JUDGED WHEN OTHERS DON'T HAVE ALL THE FACTS. I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT SHE ADDED DUNCAN AND JUSTIN FROM ONE OF HERE PREVIOUS BOOKS. I WOULD GLADLY SUGESST THAT ANYONE WHO IS A TRUE ROMANCE READER HUURY UP AND COPE THIS ONE.
