This book picks up right where Eversea stopped. Jack finds out that the pregnancy idea, set up by his agent and his old girlfriend, was faked. He's furious and wants to get back to Devon. She's started her own life  and is quite a success at making chandeliers and other things out of sea glass. When Jack gets back, there's a big auction of Devon's creations and he wants to go. Devon doesn't want the added attention his coming would cause  but of course, she relents and Jack goes to the auction. The show is a hit! Everyone's happy!

This author is fantastic! I read both of these books in 4-5 days.

I haven't seen the original GET CARTER, I must say this stands well on its own. I have liked many other Stallone movies (JUDGE DREDD, CLIFFHANGER, FIRST BLOOD, DEMOLITION MAN) but GET CARTER was a different movie.
This movie is about a man who tries to come back to a family (his brother's) who he walked out on so many years ago. The only connection his niece has to him is a picture that sits around. But Jack Carter learns that his interrogating people only makes the people he's trying to get in touch with grow farther from him.
But yet Jack does not stop his quest to prove that his brother did not die in an auto-accident. As he goes deeper into the world of filth under Seattle, Jack uncovers Cyrus Paice, a man who likes to project porn on the Internet for money.
As Jack comes closer to the truth, he realizes that if he'd have been there when they needed them, none of this would have ever gone down. Jack begins to get in touch with his niece, and eventually develops a new sense of family and honor.
I recommend this one for fans of PAYBACK, Stallone, Crime-dramas, or just somebody who likes good movies. This one is like the case of BATTLEFIELD EARTH. The reviewers hate it and people don't like it and it bombs. But I liked both this movie and BATTLEFIELD EARTH. But you'll have trouble finding it. I had to drive for a while to find a place that had it, 'cause Movie Gallery's six copies were all out.

A very enjoyable story.  Jack Thornton found his match, in more ways than one.  A really nice feel good book.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.  You will too.

Do we only get one true love in our life or is there the possibility that true love can be found twice? Can one action we take punish us for the rest of our lives or is it our minds that keep us from moving on? Jack Valentini is stuck. He lost his wife in a tragic accident and he blames himself. He is a vet and is still dealing with his time overseas. He lives as if time stopped the day his wife died. He owns a farm with his two brothers and they decide--to Jack's dismay--that they need help advertising their business. Margot Lewiston is the woman who is going to help them grow their business, but she is a VERY upper-class city girl who doesn't know a thing about a farm. Margot has been starting to rebel against her upbringing, knowing that there has to be more to life than the upper crust life of her family. Margot tries to connect with Jack and every time she does when he realizes it, he jumps back even farther than where they started.
This was a great read. Margot's frustration with her life and anger at Jack became my own. Jack's pain at losing his wife was heartbreaking. The growth of the relationship between Margot and Jack gives hope that life can go on after a tremendous loss. I highly recommend the book, but have some tissues handy!

If you're looking for a book to pull on your heart string along with solving a good mystery then His Return is that book.

Jake has been out of contact with the Hamilton and the woman he loved for four years. Now, Jack is back. With Jakes return, there are burning questions that must be answered.

Emily never knew that being an Accountant was so hazardous to your health. When Emily uncovers a Ponzi scheme at work. Emily is the way she was, tried to report the misdoings. But, she sooner learns that honesty may not always the best policy. Especially when you have someone other than yourself to worry about.

With the assistance from HIS, she must unravel the mystery and save her daughters life before its too late. But, she must also confront her past when her foster brother makes HIS Return.

His Return for a suspense thriller really played on one emotion. All through the book Sheila Kell pulled you in and made you one with the story. In a way, it was like reading Romeo and Juliet all over again, just with a different outcome.

This is a sweet movie.  A great romance with humor and some sadness.  Story is about a woman who loses her short term memory on a daily bases after a car accident, and a guy who normally is a playboy falls for this woman as he enjoyed the challenge to feel like he's dating her for the first time each time being that she thinks it's always her first time meeting him.  It may seem unbelievable, but it's not much different than dementia.  Plus, I have seen a friend who fell down the stairs and couldn't remember any short term memories that happened that entire day.  Adam Sandler plays a vet at a Hawaiian aquarium.  It was nice that this movie was filmed on location in Hawaii.  Beautiful place with nice people, and cool reference to Hawaiians' love for SPAM.

I am a huge fan of the classics; the old movies that are truly romantic and timeless.  I think thats why I enjoyed reading this story.

Tracy Connor is a professional and strong woman.  Her career is in Manhattan. She is having trouble adjusting to her life in a small, Connecticut town where her husband, Mike Connor, is Mayor. Mike takes his job very seriously and spends most of his time running his hometown. They have little time together, both are stubborn, and neither is willing to compromise their dreams for the other, even in the hope of saving their marriage.

Tracy takes an apartment in Manhattan. She wants to think and sort through their problems.
What she encounters are a couple of classic movie stars, who may be having their own identity crisis, that help her see what is truly important in life.

This is a modern day story with a huge twist. It was good to read about a couple who are having typical, true-to-life problems. This story was fun, enjoyable and charming!

I received a complimentary copy of DATING CARY GRANT from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A beautiful love story about Jack and Nora.  A rough start in Noras life leaves her living with her grandmother but then in a foster home.  Jack has issues with trauma but the light and dark work together in their relationship.  A sweet book with some sex scenes to add spice.

I rented this movie on VHS in 2002 and watched it for the first time.  This film introduced me to the film acting of Matthew Modine and Mia Sara for the first time.  I liked the innocence and naivety of the character Matthew Modine portrayed in this film and Mia Sara was remarkably charming.  Matthew and Mia had great romantic chemistry on screen and the film had a smart plot from smart screenwriting.  Now my kids are mature enough to watch it so, I enjoyed watching it again recently with my kids.  It's a real joy to watch and the bad-Jack-character caused me to be introspective about my life.

The story parallels the Christian doctrine of the first Adam brought sin and spiritual death into the world and the second Adam, Christ, brought spiritual redemption, salvation and restoration for the World.  And, in this film, we have the first Jack bringing death and destruction to the other world and the last Jack brings restoration to that other world.  The chanting crowds wanting the last Jack to be executed reminded me of some Easter passion plays I've attended.

I'm glad the DVD is rereleased and affordable once again.

This was a wonderful book, easy to read and about a love. A man returning from the war and starting over again,  and later on in life  some 60 years later finding true love once more. Made me think you can always find true love.

Usually we see movies where the man is the alcoholic and the wife the long-suffering spouse.  However, this movie reverses the roles and it makes for an interesting story.  Meg Ryan, as always, acts her part to perfection with just the right amount of humor she normally injects into her roles, making her character tolerable and lovable, despite the problems she creates.  Andy Garcia, handsome and sexy as ever, played the husband with just a perfect balance of caring, compassion and enough-is-enough.  The ending was as it should have been - true to most relationships and showed that love can endure.

Meg and Andy have the right chemistry to make their coupling believable and the romantic ending, where they smile directly into each others eyes, very real and tender.

This movie is one that will hold up under a second and third viewing, I've no doubt.

Walk The Line is a rare kind of film; it has commercial appeal, but it remains honest in portraying its main character(s).  The story follows the rise and brief fall (before rising again) of music legend Johnny Cash.  A struggling door-to-door salesman, Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) likes to play guitar and sing with his two closest pals, much to the chagrin of his wife.  One day while wandering through downtown Memphis, Johnny stumbles upon Sam Phillips' Sun recording studio, where he sees and hears Elvis Presley cutting a disc.  Johnny tracks down Mr. Phillips and convinces him to hear his band.  Phillips requires convincing, but he eventually agrees to take a chance on Cash.  Their initial record is a hit, and they find themselves on the road with Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and June Carter(Reese Witherspoon), who descends from a famous singing family.  Johnny and June have an obvious chemistry almost immediately.  This is a problem, because not only is Johnny a married father, June, also a parent, is just getting through a divorce, which in 1956 was still considered morally scandalous.

The film continues through Johnny's initial struggle with drugs and his attempts to win his father's approval, as well as his tumultous relationship with June.  The music is presented in an exciting way, thanks to Phoenix's ability to capture Cash's onstage charisma.  Phoenix and Witherspoon, both novice singers prior to the film, both do well.  Phoenix's Cash starts out rough around the edges musically, and gets more polished.  Witherspoon sounds like a natural country singer. Both actors deliver terrific performances.  This is a very entertainging ride.  Final Grade: A

Overall, this was a story about lovers that went their seperate way during their  college years and reunited in their adulthood.  Rosie, a bright young energetic entrepreneur ready to face the world, but afraid to take another chance at love because of being hurt the first time.  Lamar a bright, good looking young man returns home to a new job, and to learn that his ex-girlfriend from college resides in the same town.  The two meet up after a 12 year break.  Lemar still has feelings for Rosie, but he is also a little nervous about reuniting because of the way they broke off.  Rosie has a secret that she kept from Lamar for 12 years, but it is that secret that brings them together again.  All in all, I did enjoy the story, very romatic and entertaining.  Ms. Anderson, you did a swell job and continued success with you literature.
