Summary: An extraordinary work of fiction!
Review: Donna Hill is a gifted writer. Her ability to give life to ordinary characters and weave a wonderful story around them speaks of her talent and ability to assemble the written word in a form that has you literally turning page after page without stopping.Just like Rhythms, An Ordinary Woman was a riveting story of three friends whose lives are totally altered by the indiscretion of a selfish act of two of them. The opening paragraph told in the words of best friend, Asha Woods, says it all. "You'll find out soon enough. So I may as well say it
now. I slept with my best friend's husband. There's
no explanation....." One of the most unforgiving acts in the world is to betray the trust of a best friend...by sleeping with their man. While Lisa, Asha's best friend, and Ross, Lisa's husband, did not set out on the course of infidelity, they crossed the line of unforgiveness, thus altering their lives forever. While most would agree that Lisa had every right to sever her relationship with Asha, I had hoped they might have been able to talk it out. More importantly, I had hoped that Lisa and Ross might have been able to work things out. But as most things in life (especially in love and war) have proved over and over, the outcome isn't always predictable. It depends upon the person, and Lisa with all of her issues could probably not see her flaws that pushed the moment to becoming what it shouldn't. Donna, keep them coming!!!!

Summary: Scandalous!
Review: How many times have we heard about girlfriends breaking the #1 Rule? Nothing good ever comes of a friend betraying a friend and such is the case in this book. I just knew Donna was going to disappoint me and have that fairy-tale/romantic ending that she's so accustomed to writing in her romance novels. I was overjoyed to find that Lisa was not so forgiving of Asha (and Ross) and gave them both the boot. Who needs 'em?!

Summary: I really liked this book. Great Job! Donna
Review: I actually won this book from a drawing at a local bookstore. This is the first time I've read one of Donna Hill's novels and I thought this book was fantastic. She developed the characters so well that I felt I actually knew them. I love books that have a message and I felt Donna did a wonderful job making you understand that the choices you make in life have consequences.

Summary: Emotional character study
Review: I confess I delayed buying this book because the topic of a woman who sleeps with her best friend's husband is just so old. I know now that would have been a terrible mistake. This was one of the best books I've read this year (I rarely give books 5 stars.) One day I started reading it in the bookstore and decided I had to know what happened to the people, so I purchased it and brought it home. The author sucks the reader right in, convincingly writing from alternate viewpoints of the three main characters in present tense. It is a beautifully written character study in which you will intimately get to know these people, warts and all, and that desire to know more will keep you turning the pages. This is not a book for people who want a lot of action, but for those who enjoy a more emotional story, well told and highly visual.
The best part of all is that it is so different from the author's previous effort, Rhythms. This tells me that Donna Hill will not be content to write the same story over and over again with a little variation here and there (like E. Lynn Harris), but continue to give us engrossing stories that are new and different.
If you enjoy good writing and excellent character development, this book is for you!

Summary: Boring Boring Slow
Review: I have been trying to finish this book for about two weeks. This story is drawn out and boring. I generally like to finish a book once I have started but I have to put this one down.

Summary: Boring, Boring and drawn out
Review: I have read some of this authors previous work, and believe me this is the worst. The book is just so boring, no story line to it.

Summary: Simply Wonderful
Review: I just completed Donna Hill's An Ordinary Woman. I really enjoyed it. It was beautifully written and was easily captivated by the characters. Right from the beginning I felt bad for Lisa, her life was too perfect and my experience is those who have perfect lives are usually very boring people. I thought Lisa was too persistent for any man let alone Ross, someone that was constantly living up to the perception of others wishes. And Asha, poor Asha. I loved her and felt sorry for her. I know someone just like her. I wanted to just give her a hug and tell it would be all right...guess you just can't do that to fiction characters. However, it was a great book that made me want to call my sister in Killeen TX and simply say I love you.
Even though this book didn't end anything like I thought it would have, I must say it was good, and well written.
