Masterpeice

I really loved this book; for me it confirmed that there is such a thing as real love and that eventhough everything is not perfectly laid out the impossible is just as real as the possible. Excellent read.

A delightful tale of summer romance

In "All My Tomorrow's", author Rochelle Alers crafts a fine story of the developing romance of chef Lydia Lord and former football star Kennedy Fletcher. Lydia meets Kennedy as she arrives to serve as the chef for a summer camp for disadvantaged children from urban environments. She has come to this position after walking away from a position as an assistant chef in a thriving, well regarded restaurant after being passed over from promotions one too many times. Lydia has been hurt by unfulfilled love in the past and comes to the company to focus on her potential for opening her own restaurant and with no thoughts of looking for love. This all changes on the very first day at camp when she meets her cabin neighbor and camp sports director Kennedy. Kennedy has walked away from an illustrious career in sports at the height of his popularity and money-earning potential; he is owner and sports director of this camp that fulfills his dream to help those who have had fewer successful opportunities than he. He, too, has been scarred by romances gone wrong in the past and has sworn off serious commitments with women. Something about the gutsy, confident Lydia shakes his resolve on that point however. In this book, Alers explores the coming together of these two wounded and mature souls in an all-satisfying way that explores both their friendship and burgeoning romantic interest. The book is a 2-in-1 bonus that also contains the previously published novel "Home Sweet Home" in which Lydia was first introduced as the younger sister of the male romantic lead Quintin Lord. Although this second story doesn't rise to the same level of greatest as the newer one, it is a nice touch to include it in the same book.

Love Conquers All

Every little girl dreams of growing up and finding just the perfect man to love and to be loved by. All My Tomorrows, by Rochelle Alers, reinforces the belief that dreams and sometimes fairytales do come true. Lydia Lord, a pampered chef from an upscale Washington, DC eating establishment, quits her job and takes a volunteer position as the head chef for an underprivileged summer camp. The purpose of this venture is to unselfishly give back to children but also to determine if she can successfully run and operate her dream restaurant "The Lady Day". Kennedy Fletcher, ex-Baltimore Ravens football extraordinaire, realizes his dream by underwriting Camp Six Nations, and working there as the Athletic Director. As Athletic Director and male species, Kennedy takes one look at Lydia and finds himself smitten with her. Lydia on the other hand is coming out of a relationship and starting a new one with Kennedy is the last thing on her mind. Together with the rest of the camp staff, Kennedy and Lydia embark upon making this a summer to remember; however, the kids are not the only ones that will remember this summer experience. This story reminds the reader that the best part of being in love is... loving the person that you are with. As a reviewer, after reading a book, I sit back and think about the story. This is a story that I couldn't seem to get out of my mind. Instead of this being the authors words, it was like a movie. I could almost visualize all of the people in this character driven novel and in today's literature, that is definitely a refreshing twist. Ms. Alers really outdid herself. Although, the scheme of this story was romance, it was refreshingly clear to see that the little people (children) in this book had voices as well. I have always been a fan, but this book has sealed the fact that I will be a Rochelle Alers fan for life. Webster defines romance as "the tendency to derive great pleasure from romantic adventures; romantic sentiment". My summer's definition of romance is "All My Tomorrows". Reviewed By: Eleanor S.

A great meeting of the hearts

Great story! "All my Tomrorrows" was worth the wait. Lydia grows from a teenager in "Home Sweet Home" to a young woman who knows what she wants. Lydia Lord agrees to work free of charge at a camp, where she meets ex footballer Ken Fletcher. Although Lydia has doubts about dating professional ballers, she allows herself to add change in her life and give "ex" professional footballer Ken Fletcher a chance. The sparks fly & the two are a match made in heaven.

Well Written Book

As usual, Rochelle has weaved a wonderful story. I thought it was great to include the classic book Home Sweet Home. I had never read that book, so I got a bonus. All My Tomorrows is about the youngest Lord daughter Lydia. Lydia volunteers for a summer camp for two months and she falls in love with the owner Kennedy Fletcher. Both have been hurt in the past, but true love always shine. Thanks Rochelle for a wonderful story.
