Making the Right Choice

When first getting into this story, you don't even expect the twist that comes. As the story starts off, Carly Wexler is already engaged and is trying to plan almost everything for her wedding on her own. Her fiance, Peter Novak, is shown to be a work-aholic and sends his brother Mike Novak out to help Carly with the planning. When Carly and Mike first meet, you can tell that some sparks are flying between the two but Carly tries to deny the feelings she has for him, but can't for too long. By the end of the story, details into Mike and Carly's lives are revealed, explaining a lot. Also, Peter is caught in a crude act which pushes Carly even farther than she has already gone. I would definitely reccommend this book to anyone who is interested in romance novels. The details to some of the intense sex scenes are extremely classy and don't get too involved but you still feel the passion between the two people. I've always been really interested in romance novels because most of the time, love is not as it seems in the books. This is one book I will always remember reading.

The Right Choice in Reading

Karen Drogin does is again, serving up a tempting summertime reading dish with "The Right Choice." Intense at times and at other times evoking a chuckle or two, this story, about two people who'd been orphaned as children (literally and figuratively), will tug your emotions and keep you turning the pages.Carly Wexler finds out in the nick of time that her fiancé, Pete Novack, is not the perfect match she'd convinced herself he is. Adding to her confusion over his infidelity and her conception of what she'd always thought she wanted is the fact that Pete's brother, Mike (arrived for his part as best man) stirs feelings in her that she never once felt for Pete. Pete & Mike were orphaned as children and a family scandal early in her life left Carly with feelings of abandonment and animosity towards her parents. When Mike and Carly are together the sparks fly, yet neither is at the point in their lives where they can make commitments to the other.Readers will enjoy watching Mike and Carly come to terms with their pasts and work out their differences--with Mike it's going back into dangerous territory to finish an assignment he'd left half-done after tragedy struck, with Carly it's facing her parents, getting the true story behind the scandal--so they can move forward together. My only regret in reading "The Right Choice" is knowing that Kensington has decided to terminate the Zebra Bouquet line. Ms. Drogin has one more title coming out later this year, "The Solitary Man," which I am eagerly looking forward to. I can only hope another publisher will snap up this author's work and get it out to the readers. We deserve the best and Ms.Drogin knows how to provide it.
