Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When Justine Crandall walks in on her husband of six years with another woman, she flees their home, declaring he'll never see her again.  And her wish almost comes true when his car careens off a cliff in his pursuit of her.  Hours later she finds herself in a hospital, faced with a terrible choice.  Will she disconnect his life support because he was a liar and a cheat or because it's the humane thing to do? Or…should she keep faith that he'll revive from his coma?  In the meantime, an old love reappears making the decision even more difficult, pitting her heart against her conscience.  Justine finds that soon she must choose:   be with a man who truly loves her and puts her first, or honor her marriage vows.

Review:

"The latest from veteran romance writer Ray (Dreaming of You) opens promisingly as Justine Crandall catches husband Andrew cheating. She races off in her Porsche with apologetic Andrew in hot pursuit, but when his SUV crashes, he lands in that soapiest of plot devices, a coma, and his wife into a bind: can you divorce a man in a coma? Things get trickier when Dalton Ramsey, best-selling author and Justine's high school sweetheart strides into the picture still carrying a Lady Liberty-sized torch. Justine's friend Brianna Ireland, a no-nonsense lawyer, meanwhile, resists the overtures of ex-cop Patrick Dunlap. Ray labors to keep things smoldering, but Justine's reluctance to break her vows starts to seem silly and quaint as Ray tries to muster some much needed-did Andrew's eyelashes just flicker? Will Brianna scare Patrick away?-but minimal tension." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Looking down at her comatose husband, who was injured in a car wreck, Justine wonders how she will choose between this man who needs her and the old flame who loves her.
