Alexandria, Renee and Danielle are three very different women with one thing in their late husband!

Even a woman blessed with a genius IQ can make a dumb mistake, and for Renee Foster, marrying Marc was exactly that. Although she's eager to forget her past, first Renee needs Marc's brother, FBI agent Chris Foster, to help her locate a missing necklace. It seems like a simple plan, yet Renee soon realizes that nothing about Chris is simple. Unlike other men, he's not intimidated by her intelligence, and he sees past her aloof manner to the home-loving, passionate person she truly is. But Chris refuses to settle down—and Renee won't settle for less than she needs, even if that means walking away from the perfect man.…

Check this story out!

Read this book a couple years ago and I loved it. I decided to read it again for the fun of it.

Definitely Better

All I can say is I agree with the other reviewers and I am GLAD I didn't give up on this series. After what IMO was a disappointing first installment, I was hesitant about reading the second installment. And also having never read anything by Ms. Carla Fredd, I was worried I would only be further disappointed. But I can honestly say, I was PLEASANTLY surprised! I found myself CAUGHT UP in the drama and romance surrounding Chris Foster and Renee Mitchell Foster. The main characters, as well as secondary were DEFINITELY better developed and actually had some MEMORABLE personalities. I thought the storyline and dialogue more believable and ENGAGING. And the chemistry between Chris and Renee was sweet, yet still very sensual. I enjoyed the way Chris was able to see the REAL Renee, despite the act she put on for everyone in her life. I was able to bond with this couple and found myself hoping they'd have a “happily-ever-after”. Well done, Ms. Fredd!

Chris had his work cut out for him with Renee, but he was the man for the challenge. First he has to convince Renee that he is nothing like Marc, then he has to help her do what seems impossible, find her great aunts necklace. This makes for a exciting ride on the road to love. With Chris, Renee discovers the sensual woman living dormant inside her. In the end, love was worth the ride. With Chris' help we find out there is another side to Marc after all. Who would have thought it possible for Marc to do something unselfish, when it seems like he has done the unthinkable. I personally have enjoyed all of the stories and I thought the books was very good.

OMG, Necklace

I initially was hovering between three and four stars. I'm settling on four because the story was good. I enjoyed the heroine and hero. My issue is that I don't like action, drama, or mystery. That is my issue (personal preference) but it doesn't take away that this was a lovely story.

Carla Fredd really knows how to get you hooked!

Great read and sequel to Carmen Green’s ‘This time for Good’. The character develop was well thought out and consistent. Renee and Chris’ journey is a sweet one, with both sides healing each other’s emotional scars. Can’t wait to see how Brenda Jackson brings it all home, with Danielle and Tristan’s story.
