Book Description

June 23, 2009

Gina Rawlins is dealing with a cheating husband, a messy divorce, two unhappy children, and a floundering travel business when the very handsome new owner of the local B&B, Max Chaneau, enters her life.  Not only does he make her heart pound, but it soon becomes clear that they need each other.  Max needs to turn the B&B around and the first thing it needs is a woman's touch.  And not just any woman.  He offers to redesign her website for a bit of interior design help.  As they work closely together, Gina realizes that her ex-husband wasn’t her only chance at love, even if Max has some scars of his own.  However, when her ex (and all his baggage) abruptly reenters the picture, Gina’s love life is turned upside down, while her daughter and son are ecstatic to have their father home again.  However Gina is left wondering what she should do?  Be with the man she loves or take back the father of her children for the sake of her family?

This is Francis Ray at her best!”

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Story, June 25, 2009
This review is from: And Mistress Makes Three (Paperback)
As always Francis Ray has delivered a compelling story. Gina is a recently divorce woman with two children to raise, a selfish ex-husband and a travel business she's trying to save.
Max is a widower who trying to fulfill his deceased wife's dream of owning a Bed and Breakfast.
Gina has confidence issues, due to the constant emotional abuse from her ex-husband, Roger. She wants so badly to make her business an successful, since she feels like a failure after her marriage falls apart. Gina's best friend Celeste convinces her to visit Journey's End B&B for her travel business. Gina sees a lot of potential in the B&B, so Max asks her to help him make his B&B more inviting to his guests. In exchange he will improve her website to bring in more business for her. What starts out as a business relationship soon becomes much more.
The side story between Celeste and Alec was just as interesting. The reader gets to see both Gina and Celeste on their journey of growth.
Lastly, Roger(Gina's ex-husband) comes back realizing he wants his family back, for his own selfish reasons.
This is a really good story with great secondary characters. I definitely recommend reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, Sensual & Touching..., July 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: And Mistress Makes Three (Paperback)
"And Mistress Makes Three" is a HEARTWARMING tale...the full cast of characters is endearing and UNFORGETTABLE...the storyline is ENGAGING and the dialogue is witty...I was CAUGHT UP in the various struggles that each couple had to endure while attempting to navigate through their budding relationships...it's quite a thrill to watch each character grow and/or change as you turn the pages of this emotionally-charged novel...Mrs. Ray crafts another SWEET, SENSUAL and TOUCHING treat with her Invincible Women series, that will definitely have you holding your breath and cheering until the last page...and I so ENJOY catching up with those Dunlap's and their ever-growing circle of family and friends...I'm looking forward to the next book in this DELIGHTFUL series...a HIGHLY recommended read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Number 40 Just as Good as the First Book!, July 2, 2009
This review is from: And Mistress Makes Three (Paperback)
Ms. Ray delivers a believable, memorable story of two women Gina and Celeste.
Celeste is the fiercely independent woman who has love all around her and has never really felt `it' until she encounters Alex. Gina is the woman whose marriage has gone bad - her husband leaves her and the two kids. The two main men in this story Alex and Max have their own demons to defeat and they do. Hurt and healing in all forms are in this story. Ms. Ray does an excellent job of describing Gina's life post divorce life for a single mom: the disappointment of the children with the absentee dad, dating, discipline, finances, self esteem and finally empowerment. Gina's life describes hundreds of thousands of black single mothers today. Overall: All the years of writing 40 books, Ms. Ray still has IT!
This story is tastefully done with both realism and romance = A HIT I LOVED THIS STORY!!!
