Endless Love

I enjoyed Endless Love. The story makes you look at love in a different way. Michael Crawford gave his wife everything a woman could want, but he couldn't give her a child. Michael thought they could adopt, but April didn't want that, so she decided the best thing for them was to divorce.Terra O'Shaughssey came from a family that always depended on her when they got into trouble. She didn't want to be anything like them, so she decided to go to college and better herself. As a course for one of her classes, she became the building manager of an apartment building. She leased the penthouse apartment to Michael Crawford. As she got to know Michael and his family she was surprised at the closeness of the family. She also couldn't help being drawn toward Michael. He was a strong and caring man, a woman couldn't help to fall in love with.Carmen Green brings the Crawford clan back to us again with a great story. I love stories surrounding family. In any family, especially a large one, you have all kind of people. The Crawford family were strong and together. This was a great story and Carmen presented the people in a way that you couldn't help but feel that you know them personally.

After reading Carmen's previous novels about the Crawford brothers, I was waiting patiently for Michael's story.Michael is now labeled as the first and only person divorced in his family. When he moves into is new penthouse apartment the last thing he expected is to find love with the apartment manager Terra.Terra has had a very hard family life. Working on her Master degree she is determined to do an excellant job so that she can get an interview to become manager in a community development. But when she meets Michael trouble starts happening and she falls in love.Both Michael and Terra fight falling in love again because of different issues but the love is too strong to ignore.Carmen has done a very good job with this book. She brought out some touche' issues that may keep people from finding the love they deserve.

Tera O'Shaughssey has her future planned out. She will finish her graduate program, audition for and capture the coveted, ideal job all of her classmates want. That is until she comes across her newest tenant--handsome attorney, Michael Crawford who moves in and breaks all the rules, including giving illegal parties and entreating on her heart. Mike has moved out of the house he shared with his wife of ten years, having been "kicked to the curb" as his cousin Drew so eloquently put it. His wife's obsession for a child that was not to be was the wedge that drove them apart. When Drew suggests a party, Mike is only too eager to get back into the swing of things. But he hadn't counted on his tall, beautiful landlady with the cool, shy demeanor. He is immediately drawn to her and wants to protect her. Terra wants to play it safe. Ms. Green captures the intensity of building a relationship between two people who are healing from past wounds and how they must navigate to find the love they both so richly deserve. With a secondary love story going on with Drew and Tera's best friend, Margaret, and bringing back the six Crawford men from two of the author's other books, this was a winner.

I have patiently been waiting all summer to finally read, Endless Love. I was priviledge to receive a sample copy (a three chapter booklet) this past June, so of course my patience played out this past weekend. I was able to immediately start at chapter 4 and conlcuded the book this morning. Yes my fellow readers, this is one of those books that screams for you to keep turning the pages until you're finished.Do you like those books about a strong African-American family with both parents and lots of fine educated brothers (six of them all together); a book that offers intimacy, laughter (lots), relatives you love and some you just wish they go away; deals with divorce; family draining you senseless; Okay if your answer is yes, then read this book because you will not want to put it down until you finish.Now Carmen Green has already set the scene for attorney Michael Crawford's outcome of why he is now divorced. You must read two books (if you haven't already) to prepare you for Endless Love: Silken Love (Dr. Eric Crawford) and Keeping Secrets (Captain Nicholas "Nick" Crawford), now there are three other brothers who did not get their own books but they are mentioned very well in all of the books. That's just some backgound information for all of you.Now is this a book with an interesting story: Yes it is one that I feel you will enjoy as it addresses what happens to the man our hero, Michael, after he begins to deal with the fact his marriage of ten-years is now over. See, he is the first and I mean first of the entire Crawford family to be divorced. So you see what he is faced with. But he meets the heroine of this story, Terra O'Shaughssey, who happens to be the live-in building manager of the apartment Michael moves into. Now is the picture getting clear to you, I hope so, because I am not permitted to give the story away by no uncertain means. Just trust me, this story was delivered very well by this author, I mean Ms Green did an outstanding job and the wait was very well worth it. I love the stories dealing with our strong African-American families that deplict love, understanding and the strong christian beliefs we grew up with. Carmen Green has been one to take on the gifted task of providing those kinds of stories.Carmen, thank you for following your heart as you indicated but to be honest it was placed their from a higher intervention that wanted this story told to us. Keep on doing what you do best, use your gift wisely and continue to be led to give us the story-telling we so rightfully deserve. May the force continue to shine his blessings upon you.We look forward to you one day bringing us the Second Generation of Crawfords, I know when those stories are placed on your heart, it will be right on time. Looking forward to meeting you and getting my books signed in Orlando!!!

For all those readers who fell in love with the Crawford Brothers and those who have not had the privelege, they are back and better than ever.With style and heart felt emotion, Carmen Green takes us on a journey so worth the taking, you do't want the story to ever end. Excellent job Carmen. Excellent...Margaret Johnson-Hodge
