Drama

Intriguing characters, electrifying suspense, and steamy sensuality are the hallmarks of Carla Neggers’ fabulous bestselling novels. Now she adds the exotic locale of Florida’s Gold Coast to a dazzlingly romantic tale of fiery attraction and searing intrigue….Mollie Lavender just moved from Boston to Palm Beach, Florida, to start her own P.R. business. So far her clients include a dog, a ninety-year-old ventriloquist, and a grumpy astronaut. Her life is going swimmingly in South Florida — until she runs into Jeremiah Tabak, hard-hitting reporter. Ten years should have erased her feelings for a man who broke her heart. But a decade turns out to be not nearly long enough. A society party isn’t Jeremiah’s usual beat, but he can’t resist a hot tip that puts an old flame in the thick of things again. This time it’s a cat burglar on the loose. Seeing Mollie back on his turf stirs up old desires…and new suspicions. Mollie has attended every gala where the burglar has struck, and Jeremiah wonders if she’s in over her head…or maybe she’s the thief. Even when Mollie teams up with Jeremiah to get to the truth, she’s wary. His touch triggers powerful new emotions she can’t control. As she joins him to set a dangerious trap for a burglar, what may be stolen next is her still-fragile heart….

Three years after an accident leaves her mother comatose, Casey Ellis loses the father she barely knew and inherits his Boston townhouse, which leads her to discover his harrowing experiences with a mysterious woman named Jenny.

But when she and Dan decide to get married and wedding plans progress, she starts to wonder: is it normal for Linda and Dan to speak on the phone twice a day? How on earth do they come to be having a reception with Chilean bloody seabass and humongous bloody white ribbons tied everywhere when all she wanted was a quiet registry office? In fact, is she marrying Dan?  OR HIS MOTHER?  And Ellie’s problems have just begun. When she discovers she’s pregnant she realises that Linda’s only been rehearsing for the real takeover. She seems to want to live her life through Ellie and in the words of the immortal Princess Diana, there are three of them in the marriage?

Review:

THE OTHER WOMAN will have one laughing at, but also at times commiserating with, both Ellie and Linda. And, as usual, Green does a wonderful job creating real characters who the reader will relate to or, at the very least, enjoy reading about. She is great at producing stories that revolve around relationships — whether it is between a man and a woman, or just friends — and telling the story of a relationship, from beginning to end, complete with all the nuances and intricacies that only the most attentive person will notice. And while it is up to the reader to find out whether or not Dan and Ellie find their “happy ever after,” most people will be assured that any novel by Green will be worth reading.

A rookie paramedic pulls a young woman alive from her totaled car, a first rescue that begins a lifelong tangle of love and wreckage. Sheila Arsenault is a gorgeous enigma–streetwise and tough-talking, with haunted eyes, fierce desires, and a never-look-back determination. Peter Webster, as straight an arrow as they come, falls for her instantly and entirely. Soon Sheila and Peter are embroiled in an intense love affair, married, and parents to a baby daughter. Like the crash that brought them together, it all happened so fast.

Can you ever really save another person? Eighteen years later, Sheila is long gone and Peter is raising their daughter, Rowan, alone. But Rowan is veering dangerously off track, and for the first time in their ordered existence together, Webster fears for her future. His work shows him daily every danger the world contains, how wrong everything can go in a second. All the love a father can give a daughter is suddenly not enough.

Sheila’s sudden return may be a godsend–or it may be exactly the wrong moment for a lifetime of questions and anger and longing to surface anew. What tore a young family apart? Is there even worse damage ahead? The questions lifted up in Anita Shreve’s utterly enthralling new novel are deep and lasting, and this is a novel that could only have been written by a master of the human heart.

As she has done in her novels Eden Close, Strange Fits of Passion, and Where or When, Anita Shreve once again leads readers into a harrowing world where lives are catastrophically overturned by emotion. Set in a Belgian village amid the wreckage of World War II, Resistance is a powerful exploration of passion, self-discovery, and sacrifice from one of our most accomplished storytellers. Just as the Nazi occupation forces have drained her village of coffee, meat, and chocolate, the war has also depleted whatever joy there may have been in Claire Daussois’s marriage. On their small farm in the south of Belgium, Claire and her husband, Henri, shelter refugees – Jews, Allied pilots, and fleeing Belgian soldiers – before passing them along toward France and freedom. Claire nurses the wounded, acts as interpreter, and waits for the war to end – and, in a way she finds difficult to admit even to herself, for her own life to change. And it does, when an American B-17 bomber is downed near their village. The pilot, badly injured, is found by a young boy who turns to Claire for help in saving him. Henri is away on Resistance work. As the pilot heals and recovers in her attic hiding place, Claire begins to awaken to the possibility of love. Over the course of a mere twenty days, closed off from the world and the war in her farmhouse, Claire and Lieutenant Ted Brice experience a life-changing passion that neither has felt before. That their love is also haunted and impossible only makes it more precious. The war recedes in the face of their joy – before imposing itself once more with shocking suddenness and inconceivable horror. Resistance is the story of a young Belgian woman, an American pilot, and the small war-torn village that shelters them. Richly peopled and fearlessly, gorgeously passionate, it is a powerful exploration of emotion at odds with commitment. No reader who has loved – or resisted love – will forget this lucid and moving tale.
