Customer Reviews

Christians Beware!

This is not the Beth Moore you think it is. I had heard that she wrote a novel, I was in a hurry and expected that it was a Christian book. It wasn't worth the cost of returning so it's in the wood stove burning. I hope you don't make the same mistake I did.

More, more! I want more from Beth Moore!

I'm always scared to try new authors. You either love them or hate them. But when you've read through most of the big names and you need new material, you venture out. I'm glad I did for this book. I don't think I've EVER read a more romantic book in any genre. The author takes her time building up the two characters relationships. Their romance is verbal and physical, hot and sexy all at once. The situations they find themselves in are new and interesting. It's not your usual banter either. I highly, highly recommend this book. I hope Beth Moore writes s'more.

Good Read, but Not What I Expected

This one has been sitting on my "to be read" bookshelf for a long time. On a recent long weekend, I dug back into some of the older ones in my library and started reading. This is one of those I wish I had read sooner. The story is great and the characters are wonderful. Outrageously successful investment analyst Lynn Gregory completely changes her life after finding her long-time, college professor partner in bed with one of her students. To top it off, it seems Lynn's friends had known about the frequent infidelity, but chose not to tell her. All of this has made Lynn untrusting of her life, so she packs her clothes and moves to a simpler life. She buys a restaurant - a place where she works as a waitress, but the other employees don't know she's the owner. She owns a small home that she shares with Matt, a local mechanic. She now drives a simple pick-up truck instead of a BMW. She also is alone. Her only companionship is one-night stands. Matt, completely in the closet from is parents, is in a quandary. His parents are coming for a visit to meet his fiancé. Of course, the otherwise openly gay Matt doesn't have a fiancé, so he convinces Chris to play the part. Chris is a stranger, and a struggling college student whose car breaks down - only to find its way to Matt's garage. While training her about his life, the straight Chris begins to have strange thoughts and feelings about Lynn. At the same time, Lynn finds Chris hard to resist. The development of this relationship is slow and cautious, but both Chris and Lynn's thoughts are steamy as they contemplate possibilities for their future. With all this, Matt's parental problems seem to fade into the landscape. I highly recommend this one.

Very good novel!

I enjoyed this book very much. Don't be discouraged by the idiot jesus freaks who are too stupid to read the author's bio on the back cover. If you enjoy relationship drama, try this book.

Good Romance

I thought this book was great !!! It made me laugh out loud. I couldn't wait to find out how it would end, I was surprisingly charmed by this book. I'm not sure if this was Beth Moore's fist novel , but if so it was a wonderful first effort ...
