Commitments

All I can say is Mrs. Green has done it again! I read this book in two days! I hope that there will be a sequel, as there are so many questions that can be answered. This is definitely a page turner and once you start you will not be able to stop!

The way I determine when I connect with a book is that I will reread excerpts from that book, after I've completed reading it. Whether to recap the tenderness, humor, or passion of the character. This is one of those books. Fox and Van surrendered to their hearts and allowed the love for one another to complete them. Fox endured the pain of a childhood marred by growing up in a loveless child services system causing her to shelter and protect her emotions. Van was hurt through his first marriage, but he was man enough to allow the experience to be a learning one. Together with the help of good ole' aunt Willow, they found, trust, healing and a forever love in one another.

I absolutely loved this story. Van and Fox are great together! If you have heard of love at first sight, well this was fire at first sight. I could not get enough of those two together! I really did not understand Fox's hesitation to comment to a man like Van, but she finally came around. This book is a must read. Much love to Ms Green!

Fox Giovanni worked entirely too hard. She had no personal life. She just tried to forget how tired she was of being alone, that she worked herself almost to death.After suffering a heart attack at a luncheon in her honor, she decides to visit her foster mother in a small dismal town. She was ordered by her doctor to get some rest. What she didn't count on was her foster mother's nephew Van.Van was once married to a city girl. After that distaster he had enough. When he first meets Fox, he believes she is just trying to use his aunt like everyone else. They get to know each other and sparks fly. I thought this book was good and I really liked the aunt Willow's character. Carmen Green is a good writer and this book is definitely worth checking out.

New to the world of romance novels, I picked up this book and was immediately impressed with both the style of writing and the story that unfold.As a city dweller myself I understood perfectly the world Giovanni lived in. And was pleasantly surprised with the world in which she returned too. Unlike the other romance I picked up there was a realism and to the bones telling that did not insult my intellgience or made me want to 'skip'. A great mix, this story is one love and comunity spirit.From the name of the town to the way in which Giovanni arrived showed a uniqueness that Ms. Green handles with finese. This was a wonderful story that has me looking forward to more of Ms. Green's writings.
