????? "Jessie Gussman gets more mileage out of the first real kiss in this story than I've seen in any other romance stories I've read including some that were not so clean. WOW!" - Jim

????? "One of my favorite bits though is when Marlowe has to make a decision about her future. Both things she wants are good things, but she is counseled to choose the path God wants her to be on. I love that it's pointed out that distractions aren't always bad things. I'm a firm believer that sometimes our choices aren't between good and bad, but between good, better and best!" - Lisa
