#TuesdayTreasures: Reviews on Circles of Fate

Good Morning!

Today I'm leaving Santee, SC headed to Savannah, GA so check back Thursday where I'll share some random ramblings about this little vacation.

As a reader I love to encourage authors by leaving reviews. As an author, I agree with the following statements found on Facebook posted by Karen L Silverman and Paul Cwalina

So it is with great pleasure I share with you these reviews on my novel Circles of Fate....

Lalla Broussard Allen said.... "Started reading your book yesterday. Today I am still in my pjs, reading and watching Hallmark movies. I never stay in my pj’s all day, totally out of character for me but I can't put the book down. Thanks for writing another book."

Deena Peterson said.... "Circle of Fate is a passionate Story.  Characters come within seconds of falling hard into temptation's grasp, and love is often heated and emotional.  But the writing never crosses the line into sensuality...it just tiptoes kind of close to it once in a while!" Read Deena's entire review HERE.

Deborah Piccurelli said... "I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good, rich, love story that leaves you thinking about it long after you’ve turned the last page." Read Deb's entire review HERE.

Talk about  humbled and blessed! Great reviewers/fans/friends and wonderful reviews like these are always something to treasure!

Set at the tail end of the Vietnam War era, Circles of Fate takes the reader from Fort Benning, Georgia to Thibodaux, Louisiana. A romantic saga, this gripping novel covers nearly twenty years in the lives of Shaunna Chatman and Todd Jameson. Constantly thrown together and torn apart by fate, the two are repeatedly forced to choose between love and duty, right and wrong, standing on faith or succumbing to the world’s viewpoint on life, love, marriage and fidelity. With intriguing twists and turns, fate brings together a cast of characters whose lives will forever be entwined. Through it all is the hand of God as He works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.


Circles of Fate can be purchased at Amazon (KINDLE); Barnes and Noble (NOOK); Create Space and Smashwords ... but for now enjoy this Excerpt....

She saw the struggle in his eyes, felt it in her heart, as each fought not to grab hold and cling. They gazed at each other, read the naked truth in each other’s eyes.

Neither wanted to be the first to walk away.

Shaunna touched his face, traced his features…his eyes, his jaw, his mouth. A shiver shook her when he held her hand and pressed his lips to her fingertips.

“I almost wish we had made love the other night.”

Almost?

The word echoed between them like a silent scream. The despair in his eyes slashed her heart another degree. He shook his head, swallowed hard.

“Know this. If we had, you would not leave here today.”

She stroked his cheek, her smile tender, bittersweet. “Take care of yourself. Please,” she whispered then placed her mouth on his.

Lips met on a sigh, breaths mingled on a sob. Each of them committed the kiss to heart, and fought not to cling to the other. With a final touch, a last trembling smile, Shaunna did one of the hardest things she’d ever done in her life.

She left.
