I enjoyed reading rendezvous! Mystery, love, suspense, all made this book great to read. Rendezvous would make an INCREDIBLE MOVIE!

I enjoyed this love mystery novel. This book kept me turning the pages wondering what was going to happened next, excitement, excitement, excitement. This author is an excellent writer. I plan to read all of her books.

Jade Bassett never expected to be broke and certainly not homeless, but after her gambling husband Tim gets himself killed from a deal gone bad, that is exactly where Jade found herself.

Jade Bassett worked hard and always brought her money home. She couldn't believe that her husband had gambled it all away. Now the people her husband owes some money to is after her thinking she has the money. She was living on the streets and had been going from shelter to shelter. She ends up at a church only to find that they could only feed her, but couldn't give her a place to sleep for the night. While at this church she meets one of its parishoners Jeffery Nelson.

Jeffery was bringin food to the church and decided to stay and help them feed the people. Jeff was a very successful owner of his own Graphics Arts Design Business. He liked helping others, but his girlfriend with her uppity self, thought homeless people were beneath her. She always tried to run Jeff's life, but he wasn't havin' it! He kept trying to break up with her, but she just kept coming back, like a bad case of the hiccups. While helping in the church he runs into Jade and he immediately thinks she reminds him so much of his baby sister Diane who died 3 years prior. He was then asked to take Jade to the shelter that was on the other side of town, but when they arrived the shelter had no beds left. This is when Jeff made up in his mind that he would help Jade get back on her feet.

Jeff started by getting his dear friend Trina to come over and take Jade get new clothes and groomed properly. He didn't pressure her to tell him about her background, he knew she would tell him in time. Jeff started looking at Jade in a different manner. Jade started feeling the same way about Jeff. She didn't want to get Jeff or Trina involved in this mess that Tim has gotten her into, but she needed help. She would trust them.

This book got me from the first page. I was really trying to find out what happened to this money her husband supposedly left with her. Great job Ms. Anderson

I thoroughly enjoyed Rendevous. Its mysterious plotted love story was exactly what I needed to keep my attention. I can't wait to read other books written by this author.

I read Rendevous twice, Ms. Anderson has given her readers a book about love in all the right places. Jade never wanted to be in such a situation but she was driven to the cold streets after her husband was murdered. If Jeff Nelson had not come along who knows where she would be. Jeff was an honest man with others at heart, I am not surprised by his desire to help Jade. He saw his sister in Jade, so I feel that he had no other cjoice than to see what he could do, This story had left me feeling warm on the inside, the ending was great also. Finally love in all the right places....

I enjoyed this book very much. After seeing the movie, I wanted to read the book. I know movies rarely do justice to any book. And whadoyaknow, I WAS RIGHT. The book was thoroughly enjoyable. If you've watched the movie, disregard all that you have seen. Jeff and Jade are wonderful characters and I commend Ms. Anderson inclusion of the true facts regarding the homeless. Not all are crazy and drug addicts, some are there through no fault of their own. All in all, you'll really love this book. Don't let that awful BET movie deter you.

Rendezvous, by Bridget Anderson, is definitely a book that should be added to any library. Finally, I've found an author that can write a beautiful love story without degrading the chararcters...and speak in exploited language to get a point across. Anderson wrote her characters and storyline to depict experiences, feelings, suspense, and yes, romance. Clean romance. In fact, it's the type of romance we all dream of having. My heart fluttered many times during the reading as I anxiously turned the pages in anticipation of what was going to happen next. After reading this book, I couldn't wait go on-line in search of more novels by Bridget Anderson. My thanks to amazon.com.

Rendezvous was a great book. I really enjoyed this book. Once Istarted reading I didn't want to put it down. The ending was a shockto me. I loved this book.

This book was a huge waste of my time. Not good in any way
