FOREVER YOURS - Francis Ray

St. Martin's Press

0-31236-508-X

May 2010


SYNOPSIS:  From a "New York Times"-bestselling author comes a sizzling story of two unlikely business partners caught in a modern marriage of convenience that's wildly inconvenient--and totally irresistible.


CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE |4| Patricia Sykes-Brown


REVIEW:  Married as a young innocent, wealthy, and idealistic young woman, Victoria Chandler has no men in her life—and is desperate to keep it that way. Victimized emotionally and financially by a gold digging ex-husband, she volleys wits against Kane Taggart as he seeks a woman who can offer him love, trust, fire, and commitment and she seeks a fake marriage. Threatening Victoria with loss of her businesses and bankruptcy, her eccentric 72-year-old grandmother is perceptive enough to know that Victoria’s secret desire is to have a family.

Victoria Chandler is a stunningly beautiful 30-year-old highly successful entrepreneur. After surviving the accident that killed her parents when she was twelve, she became the daughter Clair Chandler Benson never had. She grew up in a prominent, well-respected, caring 5th generation Texas family. After graduation from college she subsequently married Stephen and found herself enmeshed in a nightmare that cost her freedom, happiness, love, romance and earned her a fear of men.

Kane Taggart is a rich, sweet, romantic, handsome, bear of a man who has secretly loved Victoria since the night of the storm--before her disastrous marriage to Stephen. His heart was broken many times as he watched her date and marry someone else. Now he has a chance, if he can get past her defenses, to pursue his dream of a lifetime loving and being loved by this vulnerable and sensitive woman.

FOREVER YOURS uses multidimensional characters with rich, warm, loving and strong personalities. Support and protection are challenges that warm the heart and binds the Taggart and Chandler families. Set in Texas, this beautiful love story is an easy, quick read. Despite a tumultuous romance, love conquers all and baby makes four.

Frances Ray is a phenomenal writer with an exceedingly rich sense of sensual characterization. Her artful integration of loss, struggle, sacrifice, and recovery is truly inspirational.

FOREVER YOURS is a timeless, very romantic, and enjoyable read that will add some sweetness to your thought processes. I highly recommend that you read the entire series to enjoy the stories behind the Taggart brothers.
