Decisions
Lovers of romantic fiction are bound to adore Decisions by the American writer Jessica L. Degarmo (published by Silver Publishing - ISBN 978-1920484897) This is Degarmo’s third romantic novel, following hard on the heels of How To Meet A Guy At The Supermarket and Hooking Up.
Decisions is a modern fairytale of a story, with poor little rich girl Emma Reese in dire need of rescuing from the evils of big business and an ogre of a father who is prepared to sacrifice his daughter on the alter of his own ambitions. Things look bad for our damsel in distress, but when a super-fit pool guy comes into the picture and he turns out to be slightly more than the hired help, you know all is not lost, or is it?
I’m not going to give away the plot, which twists and turns very satisfyingly, but this page-turning read has much going for it: the corrupt machinations of big business and U.S. politics, the glitz of big money and the love of a good man, as well steamy romance. There’s also a forcibly arranged marriage, two weddings and a wedding-day disaster where Emma stands to lose the love of her life forever.
Can a happy ever after exist for Emma? Can true love survive politics, corruption and big business, let alone marriage to the wrong man? If you want to know the answers to such questions then decide to read Decisions for yourself. You’re unlikely to be disappointed.
