Cassidy Lane Ebook Review



About the Book
From the author who brought us the unforgettable Waverly Bryson and the bestselling Perfect on Paper series.

Bestselling author Cassidy Lane walks into her twentieth high school reunion with several novels under her belt, but no date on her arm, and deep down she still feels like the smart girl no one asked to the prom. Then handsome Brandon Forrester confesses his teenage crush, and soon Cassidy finds herself swept up in a modern-day fairytale romance not unlike the tales she spins for a living. While their relationship blossoms, however, the new book she’s writing isn't going as well, and for the first time in her career she considers crafting an ending that doesn't include a proverbial walk into the sunset. Contemplating the simultaneous reversal of her own romantic fortune and that of her protagonist’s is daunting, but maybe it’s time for both her writing and her personal life to take a new path. Or is it?

Filled with Murnane’s trademark wit and optimism, a charming cast of secondary characters, and loads of heart, Cassidy Lane will have you cheering for its heroine down to the very last delightful word.

My Thoughts
This is the second book I have read by Maria Murnane. I loved this book so much. I loved the characters and the plot line. I really enjoy Maria's books because each character has been someone I could identify with in my life. I have had dreams of being a writer and it was interesting to see how Cassidy managed the writing process. I get tired of reading the same old romance story where boy meets girl, boy and girl fight all the time, boy and girl miraculously fall in love and get married and live happily ever after because that isn't how my life has went. I hate to put in a spoiler but I think most of us have had a relationship that just didn't work out no matter how much we wanted it to. I love books that are about characters that I could know and be friends with in my life. Maria is definitely on my top 5 author list.

Wait for the Rain Review




Book Description
Publication Date: February 24, 2015
Daphne White is staring down the barrel of forty—and is distraught at what she sees. Her ex-husband is getting remarried, her teenage daughter hardly needs her anymore, and the career she once dreamed about has somehow slipped from her grasp. She’s almost lost sight of the spirited and optimistic young woman she used to be.

As she heads off to a Caribbean island to mark the new decade with her best friends from college, Daphne’s in anything but the mood to celebrate. But when she meets Clay Hanson, a much younger man, she ignores her inner voice warning her that she’s too old for a fling. In fact, this tropical getaway might be the perfect opportunity to picture her future in a new sun-drenched light.

With the help of her friends, Daphne rediscovers her enthusiasm for life, as well as her love for herself—and realizes that her best years are still ahead.

My Thoughts
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. As someone who is in her middle 40s, I can understand how a person can lose themselves. I look at my life today and I too have allowed other people to change me and not always for the better. I can understand Daphne's need to reconnect with who she was. I think this a book you need to pay attention to so you can see the small changes in Daphne's mindset to see how she gets from point A to point B. Women can easily lose their identity in themselves as individuals and only see who they are as someone's wife, mother, daughter etc.. This is the first book I have read by Maria Murnane but now I know it won't be the last.
