Kristen James

It may seem a little strange to say how enjoyable this book is when the main character of it is Cancer. A wife’s, Victoria’s, desperation at the unthinkable loss of her adored husband clouds her judgement so much so that she cannot comprehend why he, a healthy, strong male got terminal cancer – did he ‘take’ it from his cancer-stricken teenage sweetheart? If so, could she, if still alive, take it back? So desperate is Victoria, that she goes to extraordinary, uncharacteristic lengths to try and make this happen to save her husband, her lover, the father of her children. Life without him is quite simply something she cannot contemplate. So obsessed with her aim is she, she forgets all rationale, but more significantly, the part played by destiny in life – or is it fate – or IS it destiny ?
This book was well-written and evoked a number of emotions – frustration, sympathy, admiration and surprise when a little twist pops up towards the end, it is impossible to put down. Well done Kristen and Tommy – a thoroughly satisfying read.

Sometimes when reading short books I find it hard to really write a review because I do not want to be mean because I bought (or received free) a short story. With only 30 pages I knew I was not going to get much out of the book and while the book was really short and sweet at the end of the book I wanted something more. If it is the start to a series then it is a good start if it ends here I am upset. Kristen James is a wonderful author and I look forward to reading more of her stories in the future. I just wanted something more in this book.… (más)

Really? Because, you speak to someone on a plane she becomes an almost-victim in a kidnapping scene. I have read other books by Kristen James and they were much better than this! I think that to be such a short book there was entirely too much of something and not enough of LETS GET TO THE POINT! It made it when it got to the actually Point that I did not actually care enough to enjoy it. It was sweet and had a lot of potential but would have been a better novel because then the too much of something would have played in to the entire book!
