Christian Reader,
This review is from: Look Both Ways (Indigo) (Mass Market Paperback)
When I read blurb of story on back of book, I thought this was a Christian bible based story. But there were a couple of parts that did not line up with Christianity --- namely, a preacher fornicating, thinking nothing of it, and at end of book his vowing to give up his ministry for God for a woman. Although plot had merit, I couldn't get past the two aforementioned Christian inconsistencies.

Trust In Love,

This review is from: Look Both Ways (Indigo) (Mass Market Paperback)
Susan Cross was raised in a loving home of strong-willed parents. They taught Susan and her siblings to work hard and be the best they could in everything. To get from under her parents watchful eyes Susan went to college for higher learning and self-discovery. She met new people, remained focused on her goals and didn't have time for romance until she met Stan. Both were ambitious and were really in love; however, Stan did not share the same beliefs Susan had about pre-marital sex, so he asked Susan to marry him. While in college Susan gets hired as a loan processor at Sealand Prime Financial. Her career soars and Stan becomes less supportive of her as she receives many promotions and salary increases. He becomes jealous of her achievements and this causes a conflict in their marriage, which later ends in divorce. Susan takes full control of her life and submerges herself into her work and puts love on the back burner.
On the first day of Susan's new position at Sealand's division in Houston, she is confronted by a handsome minister and a few people from his congregation about the company's lending practices. Trying to handle the situation as positively as she can, she and Rev. Will Cartwright become verbally combative with each other. His handsome face, deep sultry voice and strong body excites Susan to the point of being ashamed to have sexual urges to a minister. However, he's having those same feelings for her. Susan and Rev. Will calls it a truce and fall in love with each other. Both think they have the questionable lending practices situation behind them, but someone is determined to destroy Susan's career and she starts to feel she's losing control. LOOK BOTH WAYS is a fun, energetic, romantic read. I fell in love with Susan and Rev. Will's characters. The story possessed a smooth flow, and all the characters were developed with such greatness. Joan Early did a wonderful job writing this fun romance book. Although there were a few minor editorial mistakes I hope are corrected in the final version, I am looking forward to reading other books by Early.

Good story premise, but something was missing,

This review is from: Look Both Ways (Indigo) (Mass Market Paperback)
In "Look Both Ways" author Joan Early introduces Susan Cross and Rev. Will Cartwright Jr. Susan, a new resident of Houston courtesy of a big promotion in her financial/mortgage company, meets Will on the first day of her job. Will arrives with some of his parishioners in tow to complain about the company's record with categorically denying loans in his church's predominantly African American neighborhood. There is an immediate attraction that they both fight due to the less than pleasant circumstances under which they meet, as well as the failed marriages that they have both survived.
However, every time they meet sparks fly. Their respective demanding and high-profile careers are a clear barrier, yet they are soon unable to deny the sparks between them. As they navigate the choppy waters, we meet a cast of very interesting characters, including the senior Rev. Cartwright, a former Civil Rights leader who marched with Dr. King, and other members of Will's family, as well as Susan's feisty parents. The side characters were more interesting and more fully developed than the main female and male protagonists. Will and Susan are drawn as too one dimensional, which takes away from the great impact this book could have achieved. Also in some cases, the side stories seem to come out of left field and were distracting rather than adding dimension to Susan and Will's story. I finished the book, but the last quarter was a bit plodding. The premise of the story, however, was good and the book certainly benefited from a quick and thorough set-up. I just wished we had been able to see the story more full developed and to see a more multi-dimensional development of the main characters.
