Who doesn't fantasize at one time or another what it's like being married but always thinking of how life would of been with another? Who doesn't think about the use to be's in our lives, and who if given the opportunity to choose somewhere down the line someone from our past over who is our present? Is the grass greener on the other side? Maryann takes us on an awesome personal journey from lovely New England to the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway in California and allows us to become totally entwined in the mystery of her love lives. If you enjoy being totally captivated then this is a must read. I picked it up and didn't put it down until it was finished.

This review is from: A Walk on the Cliffs (Paperback)

Mary Ann believes she is a happily married woman. However, she has always wondered where her life would have led her if she had taken a different path seven years ago, choosing a relationship with Robert instead of with her husband Brad. The three of them have remained close friends since college. Now, all three are vacationing together. Mary Ann wakes up one morning and is shocked to find that she is suddenly Robert's wife. She is forced to face some of her issues and finds what love means to her.

This is a quick, easy-to-read romance, and I enjoyed getting to know the characters. The story is original and the descriptions of the beauteous scenery along Northern California's Hwy 1 add to the mystery and romance of the topsy-turvy relationships that Mary Ann struggles to come to terms with.

Armchair Interviews says that this book had some surprising moments and will lead readers to wonder about the "what ifs" in their own romantic pasts.

4.0 out of 5 stars A terrific "what-if" story, December 15, 2005

This review is from: A Walk on the Cliffs (Paperback)

I read this book in an evening and thoroughly enjoyed weaving my way through its basic theme: woman meets two men and marries the steady one, often wondering what her life would be like if she had married the exciting one. A Walk on the Cliffs let me explore the answer in a delightful imaginative twist of the plot. A little slow to start, the story picks up the pace and hooked me into its intriguing romantic fantasy and characters until the end. I'm looking forward to more from Margo Reasner.
