This week I've been on a post-vacation literary retreat thanks to Novelista, Tia McCollors who was kind enough to send me a copy of her brand spanking new release and I'm lovin' it! (Sorry McDonald's). Todate, I'm already about half way through (mind you I just got my hands on the novel on the 17th. McCollors has dared to dealve into uncharted waters with her story line that involves a Christian divorced couple who is trying to make their way through the maze of how they're really supposed to feel, act, react and so forth. The scenarios are so true to life and the characters are totally believable. Having raised to daughters myself, I'm having a ball with Ace and Lynette's struggle to keep their 16-year-old diva on track. Boy have Rick and I been there, done that! An additional yummy twist is that Ace (Lynette's former husband) has glamorous girlfriend (Sheila) who, so far is dangerously close to being desperate and ditzy. The real kicker in this tale is that the former spouses are finding themselves being drawn to one another romantically, yet neither knows how the other feels. Who will end up as Mrs. Ace? Will it be ditzy and desperate Sheila? Or will Ace choose the only woman he's ever truly loved? Or...will McCollors throw us a curve ball with a surprise ending? Hmmm. I promise you I'll know the answer by Monday morning. But I won't tell anyone else, you'll have to buy the book and find out for yourself.
By the way, I LOVE the stilletos on the cover.

Description:
The man. His woman. His ex-wife. After being married to their careers instead of each other for ten years, “Ace” and Lynette Bowers ended their marriage. But four years later, it seems their love never ended – to both of their surprises and denial. Sheila Rushmore is Ace’s current girlfriend and a woman who is used to getting what she wants – except Ace’s commitment to marriage. When Sheila realizes Lynette may be the cause, she launches a plan to play the hand of God, instead of allowing Him to bring the love all three of them desire.
