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.

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.

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.

It's crossed the minds of many: the desire to explore the "what-ifs" of life and wondering, but if one moment could be changed, which one would it be?

While in college, Mary Ann just misses the chance to be with Robert yet in its place finds happiness with his friend, Brad. Years later, the trio of now good friends embark upon their annual journey accompanied by Robert's newest girlfriend, Crystal.

Not one to act on her unspoken feelings for Robert for fear of hurting Brad, the questions remain deep within Mary Ann about how things might have been if only those few years sooner she'd made a different decision.

As Mary Ann goes out to explore the rugged cliffs of the California coast, she suddenly finds herself in the midst of an alternate reality--one that provides her the very opportunity she's always secretly wanted.

A Walk on the Cliffs was a quick yet interesting read that agreeably worked it's way through the dilemma of a woman loving one man while being "in love" with another.

Good job, Margo!

Without doubt, this is the worst piece of writing that I have ever read in book form. There is no real plot development, no character development; just an incredible amount of mundane verbosity between two covers. It reads like an adolescent diary. I could not believe that the "manuscript" could ever have been accepted by any publisher. When I checked out this book's publisher, I found that it comes from a self publishing company, which clears up the mystery of how this story got to print in the first place. I rated this book at one star only because there was no choice selection for less than that. Bottom line: save your money and your valuable time on this one.
