Awesome reading

This was an easy reading book and it was a page turner!

Weird

I was disappointed in this book. The beginning started out strong and acted like it was going somewhere. The middle drags on and on and is predictable. I was disappointed in the choices of the main character they didn't really fit the personality the author had built her to have. The end was bizarre in so many ways. Not really sure why I finished it, it was not all the good and I hate to say that about any book. I have never read anything else by this author so I have nothing to compare it to.

What a great book. Very easy light reading, perfect to read after a hectic day at work. A Chic book.

Enjoyed it!

I enjoyed this book but not as well as The Gazebo and The Observatory. I found those to be more heart warming. Emily Grayson writes very well and keeps you flowing comfortably through each of her books. I liked this one, it just wasn't my favorite.

Enjoyable Book

I really liked this book. It is a very small book so I read it quickly. It was enjoyable. Much better than 'The Observatory'. I thought that book was just 'okay'.

engaging contemporary relationship tale , but ...

Two decades ago in New York, Will Combrey simply vanished while his teenage fiancee Casey Stowe lovingly waited for him at the altar. Not long afterward, Casey¿s parents die in an accident. Distraught, she marries Michael Beckett, her next door neighbor. He was her neighbor since she was born and his parents are delighted with their marriage plans and hers folks would have been ecstatic as well if they lived. Over the next twenty years, the duo shares a contented life raising twin girls and one boy. The girls are at college and the boy will start in the fall. Casey is also a highly regarded teacher.

Into her Eden returns Will, whose personal life consists of two divorces and no meaningful relationship today. He has come back to start over at the point where he feels he failed, jilting Casey. He wants her to return with him to his San Francisco home. The temptation is great as a part of Casey always wondered what would have been if Will had married her.

THE FOUNTAIN is an engaging contemporary relationship tale centering on choices. The interesting premise is well designed, but the problem resides with the key cast because this tale is not choosing between a devilishly handsome ¿bad boy¿ and a steady mate. Will is pathetic instead of the confident cocky lover while Michael has been near perfect to Casey for years. Throw in their three teens and readers will not accept Casey¿s thought processes. Emily Grayson is a talented writer who entertains the reader with a well-written story line, but the characters fail to make the plot appear plausible.
