When tragedy brings her back home to Lake Royce, New York, Theresa Ramsey finds her life forever changed by an encounter with a handsome movie director who, over-staying his contract, has been using her old house and property in his new film. Original.
Shirley Hailstock loves reading. She'd like nothing better than to find a corner in the library and get lost in a book, explore new worlds and visit places she never expected to see. Now as an author, she can not only visit those places, but she can be the heroine of her own stories.
A past president of Romance Writers of America, Shirley began her writing career on a dare. Taking a year to complete her first manuscript, the writing bug bit her and she discovered telling stories of love and adventure was what she wanted to spend her life doing.
Although I wish I could give this more stars I can't. I love the story line, I felt something was missing and too much unnecessary wording and descriptions were added. Sometimes it felt like the book was just dragging, but since I am a sucker for happy endings I forced myself to finish through the extra babble.
Read for the ARRT Romance genre study. I found myself liking the characters but having a hard time suspending my disbelief about the way things worked out, the whole book would have been better without the crazy epilogue, and more time needed to be spent developing the plot twists and resolutions.
