A Resolution of Love

Daryl knew in her heart that Sheldon Turner would be herhusband and her forever love when she met him at a New Year'sCelebration. Her two friends Audrey and Margo thought differently. Sheldon is an ex-basketball star and is smooth with the ladies. He really lusts after Daryl not realizing he was actually falling in love with her. Not just sex, but the whole package.Jacquelin Thomas can bring a story together that makes the reader know the characters in an intimate way. You start feeling what Daryl is feeling. I found myself talking back to the book. This story had some surprises. I loved it.

A quick, entertaining, intelligent read. I salute Ms. Thomas' ability to keep her heroine chaste while avoiding sanctimony. Her plot twists reminded me of cornrow braiding: just when you thought you'd found that one loose end, it turned out to be entwined in or under another twist. Highly entertainng.

A Resolution of Love begins with three friends preparing to go to a New Year's Eve party. You get to know these friends, heroine, Daryl, friends Audrey and Margo, intimately. I was impressed with Daryl's single-minded faith that there was a Mr. Right out there just waiting for her. The girlfriends'conversations on this subject were hilarious. At the party, Daryl meets Sheldon Turner, ex-basketball player, and one stunning fellow. Daryl's smitten, Sheldon is in lust! The tale Ms. Thomas weaves around these two characters is mesmerizing. I began the book just as I retired for the evening and didn't stop reading until I'd reached chapter twelve, and my eyes were too grainy to continue. It's just that compelling. And then there's the character, Malle, an ex-girlfriend of Sheldon's who simply doesn't know when to quit. You won't soon forget her. Excellent job, Jacquelin Thomas. You go, girlfriend!

This book shares a realistic view of how women and men view commitment. Daryl knew what she wanted and had the strength not to compromise. Sheldon, a victim of childhood insecurities was afraid to trust himself. Very true to life. This was an excellent story to read. Try it.

I thought this book was wonderful reading. It has really inspired me. I really like Daryl and her strength. I look forward to reading more from this talented author.
