What a wild ride! Are we sure this author is a male??? He certainly seems to know the "inner workings" of a particular type of female mind! Interesting and compelling characters, subtle humor, and a great twist in the end. I look forward to a sequel soon!
Great Read!!!

I read this book in 2 hours. I couldn't put it down. Ian and Karen seemed so real that it was like I was watching their lives on a TV screen. They are real people with real problems. There are very few books that I can read over and over, but this is one of them. And every time I read it, I pick up on something else, some sarcastic joke that I missed the last time. Evan Ames has a way of writing that makes you feel like he's sitting there, right in front of you, telling you the story of your own life. You feel like you're Karen or Ian and YOU are feeling all their pain and joy. What an amazing book, espeically for a first time novelist. Every person that I know I've recommended this book to. A great read, an amazing story, and stunningly well written.
Poignant and Captivating - Ames Hits Dead On!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
A well-written novel that spans genres. A combination of mystery, romance and human intrigue. At times it's Tom Clancy, minus the cloak and dagger. Ames creates a motif using a palette that combines the most proper of English, a bit of slang and the right amount of juxtaposed humor. A yarn that seems unbelievable yet leaves the reader with a resounding "what if..." and an indelible appreciation for life's twists of fate.
Fantastic Read!!!

This book had me from the first page. It is a rollercoaster ride of emotion, but reminds us all that the human heart and spirit is truly amazing. As the writer is telling the story in present time, he "flashes back" to the past to walk the reader through the story--a style that captures you and keeps you guessing. And just when I thought I had the end figured out......surprise! I can't wait till Ames comes out with the next book!
Clever use of dialect and language--more than a Romance Nove
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This wonderful book will appeal to anyone that has ever hoped to be reunited with a lost love. Evan Ames has written a sensitive and frank story that will enchant romance novel enthusiasts. But the real surprise is the depth of intelligence he has given to Ian, who struggles to understand the spontaneous, creative and reckless behaviors of his soulmate, Karen. Her defiant and often self-destructive actions will amuse the reader, and the conclusion will definitely satisfy.
