SISTERS IN LOVE, is a contemporary romance that delves into the issues of family and their impact on our life choices on so many levels. The story revolves around Danica Snow, an older sister and successful therapist, who has always stuck to what was expected of her. Never encouraged to be creative like her younger sister, Kaylie, Danica was always told she was the smart sister, and expected to be the practical and responsible child. But an encounter with the town’s local lothario, Blake Carter, sends her into a lust-filled tailspin. Danica begins to question if she’s chosen the path she wanted to follow in her career and life, or the one she was expected to follow. Blake is left with his own questions when he loses his best friend and business partner, Dave, in a tragic accident. He wonders if he’d been less selfish over the years if he could have prevented his friend’s death. He seeks help from a therapist determined to change his ways. Danica is forced into a position of choosing her career over her own wants and needs when Blake comes to her for help. A cast of supporting characters adds depth to this romance about the choices we make as individuals and the insecurities we all face about our own self- worth.

Once I got started reading this book I was sucked into this world and its characters. The chapters weren’t overly long, which made it an easy read. But they were just long enough to tantalize me into turning the page to the next one to find out what happens next. The love scene between the main characters doesn’t happen until the end of the book, but the chemistry between them crackles out at you from their first meet, making the culmination of that final scene gratifying and well worth the wait. I don't want to give away too much. But I highly recommend this book as a fun and enjoyable read. If you love well-written characters who deal with real-life issues and challenges with great romance and even a bit of mystery added in this is the kind of book for you.
