Summary: GREAT STORY..........
Review: Borrowed this book from a friend of mine, and although the author was unknown the book sounded interesting. I took a chance, read it, and found it thoroughly enjoyable. The main character--Raven--is a successul and beautiful marketing executive. Having gotten out of a bad relationship some three years ago, Raven meets what could certainly be her dream man--Wesley---and a wonderful relationship ensues. Then into the picture steps Derrick. He is rich, handsome, and the new CEO of Raven's marketing firm. She cannot deny her attraction to this man, and it certainly appears to be mutual.

It's not long, however, before the bottom falls out and Raven discovers secrets about Wesley's past that make her question him and his feeling for her--and drives her into the arms of the waiting Derrick.

This book is all about "Choices;" those that must be made by Raven. And despite some areas of "overwriting" (I searched for an example, but you'll surely know it when you see it) and an obviously horrible editor, there is no denying the excellent story that this author is trying to tell.

I shudder with anticipation of Ms. Highsmith's sequel--and if this was her debut novel, her second attempt with better editing will be nothing short of scary in it's excellence.

Congratulations on a great book.......

Summary: A "Must Read" Book
Review: Let me start by saying this author is incredible! My book club was searching for a book to read and my cousin suggested this book and let me say that EVERYONE in our book club enjoyed it. We are a diverse group of people and finding a book that everyone enjoyed sometimes can be a challenge. This book had something that appealed to everyone. When I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. There were characters that I loved, some I disliked and some, by the end of the book, I wasn't sure how I felt about them. Everytime I thought I had a relationship or situation in this book figured out, "surprise" there was a new twist to the story. The author does an impeccable job of getting you to relate to each character. At the end of this book, I felt like I knew each character personally. One of the things that I really loved about this book is that it deals with real life situations, so you can actually relate to the experiences and emotions of the characters. The characters actually came to life for me. I felt like these were real people that I knew. I think I enjoyed this book so much because I was able to discuss it with a lot of different people and each time I did, a new viewpoint or outlook was pointed out to me that I hadn't seen before. This is a book that brings out a lot of emotions (laughter, anger, crying). I think the mark of a truly good author is when you read their book and you the characters actually come alive for you, that is what "Choices" and "Decisions" did for me. What a read! I can't wait for the next book to finally have all my questions answered!

Summary: Caution: You will stay up all night reading this book
Review: When I first opened the book and sat down to start reading, it was four hours later before I realized the time. I was immediately drawn into the story and if it had been the weekend when I started reading Choices, I would have stayed up all night.

I love how you get the point of view of the two main characters. I also love "Angel" the little voice in Raven's head who says all of the things we often wish we could say.

The characters in this book are so realistic, I feel like I know them personally. And when I close my eyes I can see Wesley and he sounds like a dream come true. Forget about Prince Charming, I want Wesley!!!

Derrick is nice but he's not Wesley and I want Raven to forget about eveything and everybody else and follow her heart. I can't wait to see what happens next in Decisions.
