(RAW Rating: 4.5) - Life Finds A Way

In a slight role reversal, nineteen-year-old Elizabeth Donovan sends her fiancé, Darius North, an unsettling cryptic note. 'Darius, I cannot go on with our wedding, I'm in love with someone else... I hope you can forgive us.' The problem, the groom was already at the church. When Darius searches for his brother to share the news, he can not be found, it is then Darius realizes who the 'us' is. To escape the pain and embarrassment, Darius moves to New Zealand and fulfills his business dreams. Now almost ten years later he is the proud owner of a fabulous vacation resort but, his personal dreams are still locked on Liz and his brother's heartless betrayal. Liz has had her share of heartache, and much regret over making the biggest mistake of her life. But, there is a current issue that takes precedence over her past. Someone close to her is in desperate need, and Darius is the only one who can help. When she finds him, on his far-off, exotic island, she realizes Darius is no longer the dependable, high-school sweetheart she jilted, his demeanor is cold and he is burning with revenge. In spite of his feelings, Darius agrees to help her but, he demands something in return; the honeymoon they never had. But, Darius' revengeful demand and past heartaches are put on hold when he discovers the secret Liz has been hiding all these years. HIS PERFECT MATCH is a familiar story, but it is told with plausible candor, and with a storyline reminiscent of fine wine. The story is of a love that needed to be aged, so it could evolve into something rich, warm and wonderful. Ms. Overton brought realness to the primary characters, as she reflected their growth and let them play out their true feelings. Reviewed by aNN of The RAWSISTAZ(tm) Reviewers

Both families disowned them both and after realizing that running off with Darren is the worst mistake she has ever made in her life, she discovers that she is pregnant and Darren is killed in a bar fight. She returns home from Las Vegas with a new born baby and her family turns their back on her and offers no help. Her Aunt Dee takes her in and helps her raise her son Marc. Ten years later Marc is diagnosed with diabetes and after taking dialysis he needs a kidney transplant to survive. Her Aunt Dee tells her to contact Darius his biological father that he knows nothing about to help his son. Afer trying to contact him and his constant hang ups she hires a private detective to find him. When she goes to meet with him and tells him the reason why she is there, he assumes that Marc is his nephew and not his child and seeks revenge. When he discovers on his own that Marc is his son he still has revenge on his mind but agrees to the surgery.
