Love On Hold picks up with Jet and Cara married for six months. The passions between the two continues and in no better place than Paris, France the city of Lights.

Cara and Jet start their marriage as any other couple. Jet has made Cara, Sand Castles Foundation Director. In taking over her new position, Cara shakes some personnel's to get the foundation operating within its budget. In doing so she alienates Dr. Giselle Deveaux who does nothing, but read medial journals.

While in Paris, Jet tires to get backers for Sand Castle. Due to negative publicity from the past, which turns out to be false, his presentation falters. To make matters worse, someone is buying stock in the company and is planning a take over. During the take over strategy, Jet is also faced with the SEC investigating the company.

Cara and Jet have a misunderstanding, which she resigns from the foundation and goes to Washington, D.C. to undertake her pet project that she and Jet started in Tampa, Florida. This leaves the door open for the other women, Vanessa Vaden the new beautiful and sexy communication director.

Will their marriage stand the tests of the SEC investigation, temptation, and betrayal? Is it over for Jet and Cara? What will happen to Melvin? Will he get what he always wanted?

Love On Hold takes you to the city of lights, Paris, France, Miami, Florida and Washington, D.C. In Christine Townsend upcoming book not titled yet will continue to peek into the life of Jet and Cara. It will focus on Lisa, Jet's sister. She's a little confused trying to choose between Jonathan, the strong silent fireman, and Rodney, her bodyguard. What a choice!

I read "Love on Hold" first and I am about to read Passion's Promise. I have never read a book that kept me on the edge of my seat like that. The character's are so believeable that I wanted to call Jet and Cara and tell them they have a beautiful marriage and to stop playing around.

You will not be disappointed if you buy this book. The love scenes were amazing.

I put "Sweet Desire" in the bathroom for my long visits and my other 3 room-mates have finished my book before me. (What the hell!)lol

I recently read "Love on Hold," featuring Jet and Cara Stevens. I loved it! I have read it 5 times and each time, I fall in love with it more and more. I especially loved
it because the characters seemed so real and I felt like I was actually there with them. The places and the people were very realistic.

I can't wait for the sequel to this one. The central
character will be Lisa, Jet's sister. I am really looking forward to reading it.

The writer has a great imagination for writing. If she keeps writing,I will keep reading her books. I am a true fan.

If you are married or in a committed relationship, can you imagine working with your mate? It's one thing to be together while you are at home, but to see each other each day in a working environment is something totally different. I know for me if my husband and I worked together, we would probably be divorced now. I would rather keep business separate from my personal life and vice versa. LOVE ON HOLD by Christine Townsend delves into the lives of a newlywed couple who also work together.

Jet and Cara Stevens are happily married and very much in love. They both feel as if nothing or no one can come between them. Both are very savvy business people who take their work very seriously. Jet is the owner of a major corporation, and after marrying Cara, she comes to work for him and heads a division of the company, which makes Jet her superior. There's trouble in paradise when they disagree on an issue that's very dear to Cara's heart. The two who were very much in love, become virtual strangers in their own home. The icing on the cake is when Jet takes sides with a beautiful new communications director over Cara regarding a controversial business deal. Cara is so upset she decides to take a job in another city. Jet feels as if Cara is walking away from their marriage, but Cara simply needs some time away. Will the time away from the marriage be beneficial or detrimental for Jet and Cara? Can a love that once was so strong weather the storm?

LOVE ON HOLD, the sequel to Passion's Promise, is an enlightening read that takes a look into mixing business with pleasure. What I enjoyed most about the book is that although it's a sequel, enough information was given and you could follow along without being lost if you, as in my case, hadn't read Passion's Promise. Also, Jet and Cara are very strong-willed and well-developed characters who you can visualize and connect with through the writing. After reading this book, it confirmed for me that I would never want to work with my husband. Mixing business with pleasure is still a no no in my book. If you are in the market for a good romance novel with just a touch of controversy, LOVE ON HOLD is definitely for you.

To start off with, Christine Townsend's books are fabulous. When I first read Passions Promise, I felt like part of the family. And when she came out with Love On Hold, I just fell in love with Cara and Jet all over again. I mean I loved these books so much that I re-read both of them and I don't usually
read books twice. I can't wait to read Plenty More Love.

I can't believe she's serious about ending the series. Please tell me she's just messing with us. I don't know about everyone else, but for me personally, I don't want to see them leave. I mean Cara and Jet need to become parents (Hint).

Anyway, if you read these books you are in for a real reading experience. With Townsend's descriptions you feel like you're there.

When I finished reading Love on Hold, my first thought was "THE GIRRRL CAN WRITE!!!" I was transported to another world. The storyline was excellent, very well written and complex. The conversations between the characters were so real I felt like I knew them--for real! Townsend's writing style just drew me in to experience the culture, the lifestyle, and feel the characters. . . Christine Townsend has something to say and she says it very well. I will search the bookstores for Christine Townsend books, as well as tell others what a great writer she is.

I was extremely pleased with the continuation of Jet and Cara's story. I loved the twist and turns this story takes, it keeps you wanting more. Jet and Cara's relationship (Passion's Promise) and marriage has gone through a lot and it's good to see that their love for one another makes them work even harder at keeping things together.

I can't wait for Lisa's story. I'm rooting for Rodney as well, but I'm sure Jon will be a force to be reckoned with. I think that he's not who she thinks he is, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Love on Hold was the best but I didn't expect anything less after reading SWEET DESIRE, which I read 4 times. I love Townsend's work. I hope she continues to write for a long time to come.

Townsend has done it again. I thought Passions Promise was better than good, but Love On Hold is excellent. I stayed up all night reading Love On Hold. I just couldn't put it down. I called my daughter to wake her for work and she said had been up all night reading this book. I found out she was readidng Love On Hold too. We couldn't believe how good Love On Hold is. I can't wait to see what happens to Lisa, Rodney and Jonathan. Personally I am cheering for Rodney. Love On Hold is truly a 5 star.
