"Love Unveiled" is Gloria
Greene's first novel and is already getting critical
acclaim. "A moving and powerful love story..."
says
Romantic times. Greene's characters are realist and face situations
that anyone of us could face. Support characters are few but
creative and fun.
Photographer Julia Hart is happiest behind
the lease of her camera. She leave the jet setting lifestyle
to her fashion model sister known to the world as Sammí.
Julia has lost at love one too many times and closes herself
off to all but those she's photographing and her family, until
one day when she receives a picture in the mail from her sister
of a group of party-goers in France. In the picture is a man
with a smile so beautiful and eyes so true that Julia knows
she'll love him forever. When Sammí comes home for
a family reunion Julia has no idea that she's bringing the
man of Julia's dreams with her. And to Julia's upset she believes
the man hanging Sammí's arm to be her fiancé!
Julia faces new feelings, most of which revolve around loving
a man she cannot have or betraying the sister she loves more
than her own life.
Entrepreneur and self-made man, Brad Coleman
is the kind of man women fall all over themselves to be with.
But he's just not interested. After a very heated argument
between he and his wife, she storms out with their daughter.
Speeding along the roads her anger causes her to lose control
of the car. Brad must face the lose of wife and child and
in doing so buries his feelings deep within himself. The only
place he's comfortable enough to be himself is at the home
of his mother-in-law. But when Julia Hart enters his life
he can't stop the feelings from resurfacing and he is forced
to chose between a life full of work and solitude, and a life
full of love and happiness.
I was hard pressed to find an evil character
in "Love Unveiled" and was impressed that Greene could
give us a story where the only disputes revolve around the hero
and heroine. The conflicts of the plot are thin but they are
there and are very realistic. Minor misunderstandings get in
the way and challenges of every day life pull people apart.
But "Love Unveiled" is full of romance in the classic
sense including a trip to the city of love, Paris, France. "Love
Unveiled" is a sweet book in every sense of the words.
