Will Love Mean Giving Up Her Dreams?

Trina Crawford has made singlehood her business--in more ways than one. With her new online dating site, Trina is determined to help Atlanta singles hook up and enjoy their single status. And Trina practices what she preaches. In fact, she just very publicly turned down her boyfriend's very public marriage proposal--televised live in front of thousands during a Hawks basketball game on Valentine's Day. But now Trina can focus on her real goal: to win the lucrative Small Business Organization Contest. After all, she's suddenly single again herself, and loving it. But someone is hoping to change that.

...Or Creating New Ones?

Recently divorced Reno Merriwether was Trina's college sweetheart. Now he's a single father, raising his young daughter Chloe, adopted from Somalia. Reno hopes to adopt Chloe's sister as well, but the rules are strict: Reno must be married. When he catches Trina on TV, Reno remembers the good times they had--and wonders if she'd agree to be the wife he needs, at least on paper. If not, maybe she can hook him up with someone who will. But first he'll have to overcome a trio of obstacles: Trina's ambitions, her single-is-best outlook on life, and the fact that she won't listen to her heart...

"Suddenly Single" is Trina Crawford's and Reno Merriwether's story. Trina is a strong-willed woman, but how can she be anything else coming from a family like the Crawfords. Her grandfather and father are judges; an uncle is a doctor, her mother a nurse, one aunt is an ex-bounty hunter. Then there are cousins who are doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. However, Trina also has learned to stand on her own. She and her cousins have founded the internet company, Suddenlysingleatl.com, a site for singles who wants to meet other singles.

Trina's life takes on a drastic change, when her ex-boyfriend, Drake, proposes to Trina during a football game on national television against Trina's wishes. When Trina refuses and says downright "NO" all hell breaks loose literally. Drake is furious and joins forces with Trina's ex-employee, Nona, who means Trina no good. That's not all that happens. Reno, Trina's boyfriend from college days is watching TV and sees Trina. This stirs memories for Reno -- memories over eight years ago that never died. Reno is still infatuated with Trina and feels Trina will be the perfect solution to his problem. Reno needs a wife to help secure his adopted daughter's Chole's sister from Somali.

Reno and Trina meet again. Reno knows what and who he wants. Trina has not forgotten Reno and wants him too, but she figures she does not want to be his wife. However, after meeting adorable Chole, who has stopped talking, Trina's motherly instincts comes forth and Trina is unable to resist the beautiful child and more so, unable to resist the handsome and formidable Reno.

Adventure, laughter, happiness, joy and love awaits Trina, Reno and Chole. Also, the reader is reunited with the Crawford clan as they are just one BIG loving and caring family. The whole family falls in love with Chole and accepts her as if Trina gave birth to her.

Ms. Green has written another moving story about the Crawfords. Is there any chance that Tracey Crawford, who appeared troubled in "Suddenly Single" will have her own story of love, romance and renewed joy?

Trina Crawford is the epitome of the strong business woman who doesn't accept help when she needs it and tries to do everything on her own. I enjoyed the easy friendship with her old friend Reno, and watching her slowly come to terms with the fact that she can rely on others as needed. Also, the secondary story about adopting children from overseas was interesting.
