More About This Book

Overview

What happens when your best hope for the future is through the past?

Voice-over artist Alice avoids telling the truth. It's not lying, exactly, and the freedom of reinvention makes those tough years in the past a little easier to bear. So when she meets writer Clayton Miller, she recognizes the suspicious signs of someone who wants to shrug off his old life. Untangling the web of secrets they've constructed creates an unlikely friendship-until Alice discovers that Clayton has betrayed her in the worst possible way.

The author of fifteen international bestsellers, Erica James deftly explores infidelity, bereavement, and the bonds of family with a sparkling voice that will resonate long after the book is finished.

"You know you have made it as a storyteller writer when readers simply cannot put your book down...Erica James has this page-turning ability in abundance...I wouldn't have thought this writer could get any better, but she has!"
-Welsh Country

Editorial Reviews

Library of Clean Reads
The strength in this novel, however, is the dialogue. It is simply fantastic-witty, funny, honest. It divulged appropriately who the characters were.
Palmer's Picks for Reading
At first I thought this book would be fluffy chick lit but it is much more than that... This book seemed to be a mix of chick lit, southern fiction and romance all rolled into one.

    Had Me From The First Sentence

    I really loved this book. Lots of laughs and feeling bad for people, and I was involved with the story and the characters from page one.

    was bored

    I read the first 50 pages, it didn't really grab me in anyway and didn't seem to really be going anywhere interesting to me. I didn't like it but it may be something someone else is really into.

    Unexpected gem

    Found this book by chance- it took a couple chapters to get into it - but wow, what a great story! It's one I will be thinking about for awhile. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.

    I didn't have high expectations for this one, and was pleasantly surprised. It was well written and fairly engaging.

    Ultimately disappointing

    This was pretty well-written, but I found myself getting bored. There was far too much narrative and very little action. I considered giving up about half-way through, but the story was just interesting enough to continue. Once I got to the revenge plot, I wished I hadn't. Characters who had begun to redeem themselves made themselves look bad by indulging in this childish, unethical and ultimately totally unnecessary activity. It was particularly out of character for Isabel. I really didn't understand what was accomplished by it.

    Too bad. There was a lot of potential. The author can write, but some more severe editing would have made this much more readable.

    a tender second chance at love tale

    Almost infamous fortyish Clayton Miller flees London after causing a public humiliation involving his former girlfriend Stacey and his former writing partner Barry "Lucky Bazza" Osbourne. His heart is shattered and his career as a scriptwriter recently in the stratosphere has crashed to earth as he is out of work and out of ideas except for writing his obit

    His agent Glen told Clayton to relocate temporarily in the countryside at the Cuckoo House. There he and Alice Shoemaker meet when she arrives as the housekeeper. The house is actually her family abode and though she suffered broken hearts here, she relishes being able to come home. The pair dislikes one another from the onset yet also feels a fascination. They forge a friendship as each tells the other why he and she rusticate in the country. As they start to trust and rely on one another for emotional relief, they begin to fall in love; but both fears that feeling will lead to a fresh heartbreak with no one around to help them weather the storm.

    Although the story line is linear as the plot goes as expected, the cast (London and the villagers) is superb. The support characters enhance the look at the lead pair while Clayton and Alice are nice people who each fears love having recent heartbreaks. The strong characterizations make for a tender second chance at love tale if the lead duet can take that leap of faith and trust in their respective hearts.
