Summary: A Love that Will Stand The Test of Time
Review: A Test of Time is the Second Installment in the lives of Mark and Nicole Peterson. We first meet them in A Time For Us. Mark is the owner of a prestigious real estate firm. Nicole is an excellent Administrative Secretary working for his company. Mark is smitten by Nicole's good looks and later her wit and her charm. A Test of Time starts where A Time for Us leaves off. The resort they built is opening and the architect Ms. Ashlei Brown was there. We learned that Ashlei wanted Mark the moment she laid eyes on her. Mark didn't want her though.

There is a lot of things going on in this story. I first read A Time For Us and liked it very much. Nicole's intuition about Ms. Ashlei Brown was right on the money. My feeling is that there are a handful of misunderstandings. This was why I was so excited about reading A Test of Time. I figured there was going to be more going on with Ms. Brown in this story and I wasn't wrong. I really don't want to reveal anything, because I think both books are worth reading. At times I got very upset with Mark and Nicole. I think what saved me from not really liking them was their daughter Tiandra. I also liked Nicole's parents and was glad Mark reconciled with his older sister. If you come across A Test of Time before A Time for Us, please find A Time of Us and read it first. It will answer alot of questions, you probably would have about the couple and their family.

I have read First Love and the anthology in Mama Dear by Cheryl Faye. I must say she is a very good writer. I would like to know if Yvonne and Lucien will have their story told?

Summary: a marriage on the rocks
Review: A Test of Time, is the follow-up novel, to Chery Faye's winner, A Time For Us. I highly suggest that you read, A Time For Us, first. You will be able to understand herione, Nicole Peterson's insecurities. Mark Peterson is a successful, attractive man who loves his wife. Due to a series of misunderstandings, this beautiful, ambitious couple fight, seperate and eventually reconcile their differences. At times, the reader becomes dismayed and impatient with Mark and Nicole, however Faye keeps you abreast of their thoughts and feelings toward each other throughout the novel. This is a must-read, because the author tackles the reality of a marriage that could be headed for divorce.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Fantastic Follow-up To "A Time For Us"
Review: Cheryl, you did an outstanding job illustrating what married couples are often faced with, its not always a bed of roses. In this particular story, issues of insecurities and lack of understanding was facing this couple. It may seem to some readers as an over-kill as it was put in a review, but most of us who are married or been married understand the dynamics that come with being married. In this story and even in the real-world problems like this cannot always be fixed overnight. It's like the story in the bible about JOB, he definitely went through quite a bit and it was not resolved overnight, as he learned what patience was all about. So readers, when you read this story keep in mind whatever excess issues you bring into a marriage that is not resolved has a great potential to get out of hand. Thank you Cheryl for revisiting this couple after the wedding to let us all see an illustration of the road married couples often have to travel. As for this story, it was definitely a test, but love did conquer all.

Summary: TRITE!
Review: FIRST OF ALL, I FEEL THAT MS FAYE IS A WRITER OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER. SHE HAS FREQUENTLY, LED ME THROUGH AN EMOTIONAL GAMUT WITH HER ABILITY TO TELL A STORY AND KEEP YOU INTERESTED FROM THE FIRST PAGE TO THE LAST PUNCTUATION MARK. NOT SO IN THIS SEQUEL. WHEN I WENT ON LINE AND SAW THAT SHE HAD WRITTEN ANOTHER BOOK, I WAS GLEEFUL, TO SAY THE LEAST. UPON RECEIVING THE BOOK, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT SHE FELT SHE HAD MORE TO SAY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MARK AND NICOLE. I FELT THAT SHE HAD DONE A SUPERB JOB IN TELLING THE STORY THE FIRST TIME. NICOLE AND MARK HAD GOTTEN TOGETHER VIA MARRIAGE, HAD A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER AND HAD SEEN MARK'S DREAM COME TRUE VIA BUILDING OF THE RESORT. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ADD? NOTHING!

AND THAT'S JUST WHAT MISS FAYE SHOULD HAVE REALIZED.

I READ THE BOOK THE FIRST TIME, AND DON'T ENJOY HAVING TO RE-READ IT AGAIN, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TELLING OF IT IS SO DRAB. THE FIRE AND EMOTION DISPLAYED IN HER EARLIER BOOKS JUST DON'T SEEM TO COME THROUGH IN THIS ONE.

I STILL LOVE YOU THOUGH GIRL! HURRY UP AND WHIP ONE OUT THAT WON'T DISAPPOINT YOUR FANS.
