Sparks is back!!! Like his first books, I can’t put this one down. I read a couple pages a few days ago, but then began in earnest today and haven’t stopped; I’ll be finishing it in the wee hours. Teaming up with M. Night Shyamalan has made for a magical story. Without a doubt, this will become a movie.

Not a book I typically read, but this one has become a page-turner!

I'm HOOKED!!!! From the beginning, on page one, this book has been a page turner. Patricia's writing reminds me a lot of Dan Brown's books. I can feel the tension, the characters' pain, their angst.

Usually, I read when I go out for my daily meal at a diner where the staff knows me by name and what I'll be ordering--an hour at most. Now, I'm reading at night, too, wanting to finish, yet reluctant for it to end.

I love the writing, the fast-moving action but am frustrated by the list of names and titles of so many people who have been introduced in these few chapters. I'm looking for a cast of characters to help me but not finding one anywhere--not in the book and nowhere online.

Simon and Schuster: Do you have a list of characters that you can share?

Shattered Dreams, a Laurel Ridge novella, is the first of seven novellas in a series. I'm currently working on the rest of the series. Having sent Burning Desire (#2) to beta readers, I'm getting ready to revise, proof, & polish it. It and more of the series will be published this year! Seven couples, seven conflicts, seven romances. #secondchance #newlove #blinddate

At a stage where I don’t want to put it down!!!

Running From a Rock Start - O.M.G. I have never laughed so much, so hard, and for long as I have in reading this book. Truly laugh-out-loud funny. And at the moment, I’m only at Chapter 6. I can’t put it down. Their conflicts are believable as is their attraction for each other. From the first sentence, these characters are multi-dimensional, people I wanted to be with.
