Summary: Don't miss this book!
Review: I bought this new book by James Scott Bell this past week-end and read it quickly. Be prepared, it is difficult to put down! One of the best books I have ever read. I loved it from the first sentence. The characters are so real that I hated leaving them behind at the end of the story. And what a story! The courtroom drama will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to object! Mark, the main character, will have your heart with his devotion to his family and his dry sense of humor. A little tiny person named Maddie will stay with you for days after you have finished the book.
LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I have loved all of James Scott Bell's book until this one. I found the characters difficult to like. I thought the story drug on and found myself skimming large sections. I was also diappointed in that the Lord was just minimally in this book. This is not the quality work I have come to expect from James Scott Bell and I was very disappointed.

Summary: Excellent! Real life issues and solutions.
Review: I loved this book and I think it would be a great movie. The characters are more realistic than many books you read today. The situation that Mark face are like many we face in our lives today. Many of us struggle with loving someone and them not loving us in return. I could actually visualize the characters in this book as a real family that I knew.
Mark was a loving father and husband but his wife did not know if she loved him the same way. She discovered she was pregnant and did not want the baby. Mark was crushed and talks her into carring the baby through. Once Maddie is born, Mark's life was never the same. He was a wonderful father and would go to the ends of the earth for her. The only thing that Mark is not capable of doing is landing a lead role in an acting position as like is wife who becomes a star overnight. She has an affair on him while in Rome with the director and comes back to take Maddie away from Mark. Now Mark faces so many obsitcles in his life that many of us can relate too. His wife files for a divorce and accuses him of being abusive to her and her daughter. Mark is forced into a deep hole in which he seeks God to help him in his darkest hour. It takes Mark several tries before he accepts God's view on things. However he stays strong and fights for his daughter. The book goes on to further explain the everyday life problems that many of us know so well. I'm not going to spoil the ending but it is an awesome book. It is very intertaining and never a dull moment. This book kept me on the edge of my seat as I rooted for Mark to suceed.
Many of us face problems in our lives and we fail to listen or spend any time with God, when God is the only answer to our problems. Allow God to work in your life and watch your life change and the blessing to pour in.

Summary: Page turner
Review: I loved this book for several reasons: The beautiful portrait of a father's love for his daughter, the flawed but lovable character of that father, and the gut wrenching agony of a custody battle and all that goes with it. I laughed, cried, and chewed my fingernails to bits while reading this book. I found it impossbile to put down. Highly recommended!

Summary: Best way to spend an afternoon--reading this book!
Review: I've always admired James Scott Bell's writing, but this book is his best yet! Tender, warm, funny, and moving, this book is the story of a father, a mother, and a daughter . . . and the struggle they face to remain a family. Fascinating insights into the slightly-crazed Hollywood world abound; compare those to the tender moments between a father and his much-loved daughter. This is a wonderful book. You can't go wrong with this one!

Summary: A Highly Emotional Ride
Review: In Breach of Promise, Bell succeeded in grabbing my emotions and running the gamut with them. I could only read the story for bite-sized chunks of time: the anger and sadness I felt alongside Mark Gillen were too intense. I found it impossible to separate myself from his situation.Thanks for giving me a glimpse of what it would feel like to be on the inside of a divorce/custody case. I know I will now be able to better empathize with those who have gone through it themselves.

Summary: Promise fulfilled
Review: James Scott Bell's writing gets better with every book of his I read. This one grabbed my heart and wouldn't let go. Maddie was such a strong character--not easy to do with a child. The emotions of the story ran the gamut from laughter to tears and everything in-between. Great characterization, wonderful plot, absolutely perfect ending.

Summary: Breach of Promise
Review: Mark Gillen tumbles from his comfortable world with a beautiful wife and a beloved daughter to a nightmare when his wife leaves him for another man who has power and wealth to take whatever he desires. This is a passion-filled story of love, anger, and hate. The character growth in this novel takes the reader to a new dimension in reality writing with a Christian perspective.
