Sylvia Lett (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2008

The shortest distance between two hearts is love...

...or so thought Danielle Roberts and Greg Thomas when they were starry-eyed law students planning a future together. But harsh reality--in the form of Greg's ambition and Danielle's interfering father--soon put them on very different paths. Years later, Danielle's professional life is in perfect order; her personal life is a different story. Nothing's been right since Greg left without saying goodbye. But would she take him back if she had the chance? It's time to find out...

A little older and a lot wiser, Greg realizes what he walked away from and doesn't plan to do it again: he's back in Dallas to sweep Danielle off her feet and down the aisle. Still, in spite of chemistry that sizzles more than ever, he'll have to handle his soul mate with care. She's twice shy, thanks to him--but there's something more behind the wall Danielle's built around her heart...a secret that wasn't there before...

Now, as defenses are dropped and deepest truths revealed, everything is about to change. When the smoke clears, will love remain?

"Sylvia Lett is a magician at creating heroes to die for." --Evelyn Palfrey

"With Perfect for You, Sylvia Lett offers a story of sizzling romance and dramatic suspense. A new writer to watch for." --Deirdre Savoy, author of Body of Lies

4.0 out of 5 stars Love the second time around, March 15, 2008

This review is from: Like Never Before (Paperback)

Mary J. Blige said it best in her song "It ain't all roses" and in her latest release, Sylvia Lett shows readers that everything worth having is worth working for.

Danielle Roberts met the man of her dreams, Greg Thomas, in college. Although they were in a class together, they had yet to be introduced until one night they were thrown together at a party. Soon after that, they became inseparable and continued to date after graduation.

Both were successful in their careers. Danielle became a corporate lawyer while Greg practiced criminal law. Their romance was like a fairytale and six months after graduation, Greg asked Danielle to marry him. Their engagement lasted two years before the couple allowed outside forces to drive them apart. When Greg was offered a position out of state, he accepted it leaving Danielle behind.

Greg made an awful mistake. He put his career before the woman he loves and has regretted that decision every since. For the past two years, he's tried everything to get Danielle out of his system but has failed. Determined to correct his mistake, Greg returns home with a plan of getting Danielle back. Will Greg's plan work? Or will outside forces continue to come between them?

Sylvia Lett has written a interesting love story that shows the ups and downs of relationships. Her use of secondary characters helps the reader understand the challenges the couple face and flows well with the story. LIKE NEVER BEFORE is a good read that will leave romance fans satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars She Loves Me...She Loves Me Not?, July 12, 2008

This review is from: Like Never Before (Paperback)

Danielle Roberts is a successful attorney who seems to have it all together...but looks can be deceiving. She has a secret that is affecting her love life. She thought she would be able to come to terms with it and put it all behind her...that is until her own on-again, off-again ex-fiancé moves back to town.

Greg Thomas is also a successful attorney who has moved back home to win back the only woman he has ever really loved besides his mama. When he left town two years ago to advance his career, he had no idea that his life would be so incomplete without Dani. Now that he has returned, he is determined to do whatever it takes to make her Mrs. Gregory Allen Thomas.

Sylvia Lett's style of writing just flows. There are never lagging moments in the storyline. This story also has lots of secondary characters, but she makes the characters so real that you are able to identify with almost all of them. The book is mainly about two families, and you can match each character with a member of your family, whether it's the obnoxious cousin that everyone hates to see coming or the parent who tries to control everything. Like Never Before was very easy to read with a great storyline. A must read!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Sorry I wasted my money, May 26, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Like Never Before (Paperback)

I am so sorry I wasted my money on this book. The female lead in this book is supposed to be an educated lawyer, but she acts like a 16 year old who doesn't know how to deal with her ex-boyfriend. This whole book is stupid, and what person (Rolonda) who works in the medical field goes about telling someones personal business.... THEY DONT, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. My advice to the author is to never NEVER ever write another novel again.
