I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to those who like contemporary stories about love and family." "Ms. Donna Marie has presented her readers with a fast moving, interesting romance. Her main characters were poignant individuals who had traumatic pasts. Their summer romance was plagued with other mishaps. The characters were believable and captured my sympathy the further they journeyed into their new relationship......" " Donna Marie writes in a way that by the time you are done reading the story she has made the characters seem like you have known them for years! I couldn't put the book down and finished it in a day and a half. Her first book that I read of her's also was very good, "Love For Angela". I'm looking forward to her next novel! I hope it's soon!!!" "Excellent summer read. Donna Marie writes in a way that you feel like you have known the characters for a long time. I read the book in one day because I couldn't put it down! I'm looking forward to her next novel." Second Chances in Camelot is an enhanced, new edition of We Can Love Again. |
