WILL A LOSS MAKE ELAINE SEE SENSE! LOVE CHANGES BY MARSHA CASPER COOK

 

A man finds a second chance at love after losing his wife and child, hoping for a better future. His wife is keeping her past hidden from him, however, her bad habits surface when her pregnancy takes a turn she didn’t want. Unable to care for a child with Downs Syndrome, she refuses to keep the baby, but he’s unwilling to lose another child, despite his efforts to appease and support his wife.

When her past continues to batter her down, and she refuses to share such burdens with her love, she puts both of their lives at risk.

What reviewers have said :
The way the characters have been constructed and written makes them easy to empathize with and even hate at times. It’s wonderfully created and very enjoyable, a definite recommend.

A very well-written book. I recommend it as a sort of lesson in life moment or I should say moments. Rereading is recommended with this book. Really feel it.

Love changes by Marsha Casper Cook draws the reader in from the very first page and keeps them until the last word.

She had heard through the hospital Intern grapevine about being an escort for very rich influential men and jumped at the chance.

Pick up a copy and enjoy the ride.

but I love this portrayal of womenNovember 3, 2017 – Published on Amazon.comVerified PurchaseWell, the title is definitely something else, huh?
Alright, this is my opinion, but I love this portrayal of women, I want women to think, feel and act as Lily does, because there is nothing more attractive than a strong and confident woman who knows what she wants and how to get it.
There is something captivating in this story, the portrayal of all characters and the drastic changes from day to night make it for an awesome read, lessons are learnt in the hard way and in the end Lily would have to make a choice. Ultimately I think she chose right.
There is a lot going on in this book and still, everything flows nicely, I love how detailed it was at moments, and especially I love how we see everything from the point of view of Lily, her thoughts and actions were interesting, this is a nice read you shouldn’t miss.

GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN, A TRIBUTE TO DELLANI OAKES

 


The writing world just got a little smaller yesterday. Our friend, co worker and talented writer Dellani Oakes passed away after a long battle with cancer. She was a friend to many and gave exposure and encouragement to many new writers by hosting them on her radio shows

.Dellani will be missed by all.


 

Dellani Oakes is a former A.P. English teacher, photo journalist, substitute teacher and Mary Kay consultant. She can give skin care & makeup advice, correct grammar, take pictures and write an article while controlling a classroom full of rowdy children.

Dellani was making up stories before she could read. Her first really cohesive work began when her older sister started school. Left to entertain herself, she invented an imaginary friend and would regale her mother with tales of Snowy Green and Rainbow School. These stories paved the way for songs and poems in elementary school and short stories in high school and college.

A college theatre major, Dellani took play writing. It became her new love. Scripts being dialog heavy and character driven, this aspect has followed her into her novel writing. She uses verbal exchanges & sparring as a way of revealing both plot and characterization.

Dellani had to set aside her love of writing when she began working as a teacher. Her creative energies were channeled into writing exams to make her students cry–although this wasn’t usually intentional. Unfortunately, between that and motherhood, she didn’t have time to write.

Once her youngest son started school in 2002, she was able to write full time. Her first novel, “Indian Summer”, was published in 2008. Her second novel, “Lone Wolf” made its debut in September 2011. “Lone Wolf” is the first in her science-fiction series. Book two of the Lone Wolf Series – “Shakazhan”, came out in July of 2013. Both have recently been reissued in Kindle Format.

In addition to her historical novel and sci-fi, Dellani has added 7 romantic suspense novels, 4 of which are published by Tirgearr Publishing. The rest, she has independently published. She also shares some of her unpublished work for free on her blog.

Dellani is a Blog Talk Radio host with two shows each month on the Red River Radio Network: Dellani’s Tea Time 4:00 PM Eastern every 2nd Monday & What’s Write for Me at 4:00 PM Eastern every 4th Wednesday. Look for her on Red River Radio Network. (Guests vary)

IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVE IS A WONDERFUL ROMANTIC READ! MARSHA CASPER COOK

 

Life is short, and it’s up to you to make it sweet.”

~ Sarah Louise DelanyIt’s All About Love is a sweet, heartwarming story about how love can happen when you least expect it.
After losing the love of his life, Leo Tucker never thought it would be possible to fall in love again. But then he met Gracie Maxwell and happiness seemed to be more than just a possibility—it became reality.Gracie Maxwell had been hurt so many times before her final conclusion: she was never going to let herself fall in love or even get close to it ever again. But then she met Leo.Leo was kind and considerate and Gracie thought he was pretty darned wonderful, so unlike anyone she had ever known. So there they were, falling in love with each other. Would they choose each other, or would they decide against the second chance they were both afraid of?The beauty of this love story will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between as you watch them decide their destiny. Will they find the right path to each other’s heart?


Lorenza Seldner3.0 out of 5 stars A very sweet love storyReviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021Verified PurchaseThe book follows love-chasers Leo and Gracie. Leo, a recent widower and highly superstitious, is adamant about pursuing love and a second chance in life. Gracie feels pressured by her father to join the family business; she’s been hurt in relationships in the past and decides she’s had enough of love for now. They both travel to Paris, and the romance begins.

It’s all about love, in a deeply romantic, almost silly way. Don’t expect complicated plots, twists, and mystery on this love affair. I thought the author was clever enough to present the characters clumsily, but aside from that, I would’ve liked a bit more action. I am not a fan of the “tell don’t show” approach, and I felt the author was leading me into what to think about the characters instead of letting us making an idea of our own. It’s a sweet story for all those hopeless romantics.

CURL UP WITH THIS WONDERFUL ROMANCE ABOUT SECOND CHANCES—SECOND CHANCES BY MARSHA CASPER COOK

 

Leo and Gracie are back again, but their hearts have been broken by previous relationships and that’s keeping them apart. Even though their podcast, “It’s All About Love,” is successful, they can’t seem to take their own advice while others around them find love and happiness.

Can they forget the past and let love take its course or will they never allow themselves to be happy again?
Is the timing right this time or will they miss the boat?

Chelsey McQuitty

Loved everything about it

I really loved the plot of this book. There is a lot going on and the author has written it in such a relatable way that is hard not to connect with the characters. I loved the fact that the lovebirds are podcast hosts as it adds so much to their love story and brings even more tension to their time apart. This author has an incredible way with words that will totally wrap you up and make you feel deeply connected to every chapter of the book. I’d highly recommend it.

A FABULOUS ADDITION TO YOUR SUMMER READING PILE! THE SEASONS OF OUR LOVE! ANGELA GASCOIGNE

 A FIRST-CLASS READ


I loved Seasons of Our Love. The well-developed characters nudged their way into my heart or not. Some I loved to hate. I rooted for Danny and Rosie from start to finish. The story moves, but not linearly. With lots of twists and turns, you might want to fasten your seat belts. Whenever I put the book aside, the story lived inside my head calling me back. I never stayed away too long because I knew the author had more surprises in store. I hope there’s a sequel because I didn’t want this one to end. Angela wove an intriguing, compelling romance that anyone with a soft heart will want to read. I look forward to more from Angela Gascoigne.
