They prepare to divorce and Audrey questions who she is as a woman, why would her spouse choose to be with the person she caught him with in bed?

Very Good

This book was even as good as The Price of Passion, and that was good. I liked Audrey. The fact that she was betrayed as she was and how she handled things was just great.A lot of people couldn't handle what she saw and moved with the grace that she did, but she did. Another good read.

Good to last page...

I've just finished reading "Dangerous Dilemmas" and I must say I'm breathless. I feel as if I just closed the page on some of my good friends. I've grown to know and love the characters in each novel. Evelyn, your novels are full of love, suspense and spice. I can't wait for the next novel. Be Blessed!
