TIME/PLACE: 2001/Indiana CHARACTERS: Sylvie Bennet/marketing director Jewelry Design Business; Marcus Grey/Entrepreneur
FIRST LINES: Sylvie Bennett closed the door of 4A & headed down the stairs of her apartment building @ 20 Amber Court.
COMMENTS: Quick, light romance read. Altho' part of a miniseries -- believe there are 3 other books focusing on 3 other young women also living @ Amber Court and working @ Colette Jewelry -- this definitely stands alone. Sylvie, is a very focused business woman and loves her job and feels her co-workers are her family. She is on a mission to stop Marcus Grey from destroying Colette Jewelery. Marcus Grey is a self-made man and for years he has believed his father's Jewelry business was destroyed by Colette & is out to make things right. The 2 seem to have different objectives but are very attracted to each other -- they each have to find a meeting ground before they can come to terms w/ both their working & personal relationships.
