4.0 out of 5 stars What Happens in Vegas... Comes Out In The Light, January 19, 2009

Victoria Wells introduced readers to Starr in her debut novel, A Special Summer. In its sequel, When Love Comes Around, Starr discovers that there is a possibility that she can never have children. Feeling lonely and depressed, while in Vegas for a wedding, Starr lets her guard down and has one too many drinks. She awakens the next day to find a man in her room. It was not just any man; it was Kevin Dawson, a 6'4" Boris Kodjoe look-a-like and self-proclaimed ladies man. What had she done? Starr faces making a decision that will change her life forever and it will also give her what she wants most of all.

Once again, Victoria Wells gives readers a very realistic and fun story to read. Starr and Kevin are faced with issues of friendship, trust, forgiveness and love. There were several characters that reappeared, which added drama and intrigue to the story. Wells has definitely given readers a story that is appealing and a page-turner. I cannot wait to see what she has next for readers.

After reading Ms. Wells' first novel, I couldn't wait for this second book and she did not disappoint. Her writing is excellent and consistent with her first novel. I really like her style of writing. She makes you feel like you're sitting in your kitchen, with a cup of tea, listening to your best girlfriend tell you a story. I loved this book. I found Starr and Kevin's story to be absolutely heart-warming. Ms. Wells has done a thorough job of helping you to understand the characters and how they've come to be the people they are. I like the way they ended up with each other and it turned out to be a match made in heaven. The supporting characters were so enjoyable and I see more books on the horizon. Ms. Wells has thrown in just enough villainous behavior to make me sweat, but alls well that ends well. I highly recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars JUST AVERAGE..., October 23, 2009

This review is from: When Love Comes Around (Paperback)

I read both "summer" and "When loves comes around" and to be honest both books had good storylines BUT... they also had WAY to much detail. There were a lot of fillers that were not required for the story to be good. I found myself skipping a lot of paragraphs. There were a lot of flashback memories the characters would fall into which were not relevant to the plot. One of the more interesting sidelines the author introduced was about Ava which was slightly mentioned just enough to peek interest. That was a total let down because the author never gives us a sneak preview of what in store for Ava. I really want to support this author because I feel she has potential. In the future I would like to see more romance and less irrelevant details that fill extra paper.
