Designed for Love

by Roseanne Dowell

Fate, kismet, or whatever you want to call it is, it turned Interior Designer, Wendy Seidel’s world upside down. From a chance meeting at the airport to Florida and back to Ohio, she can’t believe the strange circumstances that throw her and Bill Johnson together, after he literally knocks her off her feet at the airport.



A laugh out love funny romance story, "Designed for Love" makes us believe on Kismet, or Fate or even destiny, that there truly is someone out there for us and random in incidents will throw two people together.


That was the case with Wendy, an interior designer and Bill, an architect. A chance meeting at the airport led them to lovers lane that you almost want to believe that the gods have conspired to throw them together. Sharing the same flight, seats next to each other, staying at the same hotel and working on the same renovation ... The list just goes on. Sheilagh verified reader


Reviewer Sheiglagh has summed up this story perfectly. What I liked the most about it (other than Leo, the retired Greyhound) was there was not one murder, or kidnapping. There were no forced marriages or no deep dysfunctional scars from the main characters' pasts.
They were NORMAL. Although, Wendy was very career oriented, and had never had any intentions of settling down. Hey, what do they say" Never say never." Wendy never had a chance, because Bill was definitely one of a kind.
This book was an enjoyable read. Book Lover

About the author

As the second youngest of six children, I always had a vivid imagination and loved to make up stories. I often sat and daydreamed about imaginary characters and lost myself in books and make-believe worlds. My love of writing began as a teenager, but it wasn’t until recent years that I pursued it seriously. With encouragement from fellow book-club members, NEORWA and my husband, I began writing and submitting my work. Although Satin Sheets was my first published novel, I have over forty articles and stories published in magazines such as Good Old Days, Nostalgia, and Ohio Writer along with several online publications. Besides teaching three writing courses for Long Story School of Writing, I taught a writing course at Cuyahoga Community College. My books are available at Amazon.com http://amzn.to/tnqgR2. In my spare time, I enjoys spending time with my six children, fourteen grandchildren and great grandchild. My hobbies include ceramics, knitting, quilting, and jewelry making. But after my family, my first love is writing. I reside with my husband of years in Northeast Ohio. You can visit my website at: http://www.roseannedowell.com

DNF. Style of writing didn't appeal to me - too flighty. Another negative point: When you read from Wendy's POV it's written in 1st person (aka "I") but Bill's is in 3th person (aka "he"). Doesn't make sense to me. Either you write in 1st person, then you just have one POV or you write both POVs in 3th person. Whenever I read from Bill's POV I felt lik I was thrown out of Wendy's body like in a near-death experience ^^

Cute short story with a predictable plot. I enjoyed it and it was nice to get Bill's POV through some parts of the story.
