Review:
"Just The Man She Needs" by Gwynne Forster was a good read. I found this novel very easy to connect to even though it wasn't one of my favorite novels from this author. "Just The Man She Needs" was of a journalist, Felicia Parker who wrote social columns who had not been successful in her own social life...contacts an escort service...and is hooked to an escort named John Ashton Underwood..who wasn't exactly escort. Now this story line will pick up from there and this is where I say you must pick up this novel to see the what, when, how of it all in this good read that only this author gives to the reader. You will find that this story will mainly focus on these two main people and their interactions with their families which will proves quite interesting.
I felt this author gives us a good read and I yes I would recommend this one as a good read.
