REVIEW
I just fancied
a short read and have read other books by this author, though not in this
contemporary genre. I love the image on the cover and remember a character in another
book saying she would know when she was when love as when she kissed her true
love her leg would kick up. That is what I immediately thought of when I saw
the cover!!
The main female
character in the book is Cammy, who has been dating her boyfriend Lucas for
quite a while. There is a difficult discussion looming about what they will be
doing next as their “next steps” in their careers with have them living in
totally different area’s and having to cope with a long-distance relationship.
However, before that happens Cammy walks in at a party a little later than
expected and spots her boyfriend Lucas, kissing another a girl!
Cammy isn’t
sure what to do. On one hand her relationship with Lucas is something she feels
she wants to hold onto. Then she is unexpectedly asked to join a study group by
the rather hot guy called Grayson Parker. According to Cammy’s roommate all the
girls have been after Grayson. It becomes apparent that Grayson cares for Cammy
as more than “just a friend” but he is very gentlemanly and doesn’t put any
pressure on Cammy to make a decision.
When Cammy
becomes ill both suitors reveal their individual “caring” sides which end up making
her decision much easier about who she feels she wants to be with.
My immediate
thoughts upon finishing the novella were I just fancied a short read and have
read other books by this author, though not in this contemporary genre. I love
the image on the cover and remember a character in another book saying she
would know when she was when love as when she kissed her true love her leg
would kick up. That is what I immediately thought of when I saw the cover!!
To sum up I
really enjoyed this novella, it was short, sweet and had a happy ending. Once I
started reading, I didn’t stop until the end! I had to know what
decision Cammy would make. At times I felt like shouting at Cammy about who to
choose. I would definitely read more from Mary Ting in this contemporary genre.
The novella did also make me think about why there are so many Lucas characters
in the world and not enough Grayson’s.
