Author, Janice Ross pins a novella that reminds me to not leap with the deceitful emotions of the heart but follow the mind.
Protagonist, Leah Daniels is ready to conquer the world. She has a new executive level career, lives in a nice condo and she is feeling confident. However she is not so confident when she meets, dates and have a revolving relationship with the handsome Nate Moore, her boss, boss.
Nate has a habit of disappearing for weeks and even a few months after spending the most perfect couple of months with Leah. Leah does not question him about these disappearance and accepts him when ever and where ever he reappears.
The author conjure two endings that allows the readers to select a satisfying end. That's a new spin and huge kudos to the author!! However, hold that thought, It's not a cut and dry choice. The author provides one ending that is gentle and forgiving, while you wish the best for one character as sorrow elopes for the other. The second ending takes you into unfaithfulness, mixed emotion and anger that erupts. Which will you chose? I enjoyed the choices but kept wondering which ending really satisfied my palate and my choice was ....
I enjoyed reading about a relationship that actually was based from friendship first- before the couple immediately dives into sexual encounters. My reading pace was moderate throughout the story, the plot kept me interested til the end. Characters were satisfying. My rating of the book cover is a 4/5. I mean who can resist a handsome man. This book sits on my shelf as a Darn Good Read with a rating of 3.5 /5 and Ms. Janice Ross has made my Authors list.
