CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE |4| Marguerite Lemons
REVIEW:
Tara Russell is at the top of the
entertainment world, with hit records, numerous fans and a life that most people
would envy. She’s also extremely unhappy, because she has made the sacrifice of
a lifetime when she gave her child up for adoption at birth. Now all she wants
to know is if she made the right decision and if her child is okay. Tara would
never have imagined the ensuing fallout that happens when she decides to find
her child. She discovers the bullets her best friend took were meant for her,
but she has no clue who would want her dead or that her family has betrayed her
in the worst way.
BLUE INTERLUDE
takes place in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Antonio, South Carolina and Las
Vegas. Tara is an R&B singer, who doesn’t have many friends, because she’s
learned never to trust anyone. Quinton Ellis is the hottest record producer in
the business and he happens to be Tara’s best friend. They both have hidden
secrets and want the best for each other, but just when it seems as if they may
have found what they are looking for…trouble ensues. Both characters have had
difficult times and have strained relationships with family members. Their
families and other characters sometimes offer sage advice, but at other times,
they are the problem. There is an intriguing plot twist and several overdue
reconciliations.
Ms. Mennefee has written a page turner that makes you wonder what may really be
going on in the real lives of some of our R&B stars. I enjoyed this story.
