4.0 out of 5 stars
The art of love, April 9, 2005
This review is from: You and No Other (The Graysons, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Those familiar with the family sagas in Francis Ray's Taggart, Falcon,
Grayson series will welcome the return of another piece of this legacy.
YOU AND NO OTHER unites readers with avid art collector and practicing
attorney, Morgan Grayson.
Since the marriage of her oldest son, Ruth Grayson has made a crusade
of getting her second oldest to the altar. Morgan stays on the defensive
as he keeps one step ahead of her overzealous attempts. For the moment,
he has outfoxed Ruth and can now devote his attention to his practice
and his duties as the chairperson of Santa Fe's art committee. Morgan
has brought a renowned sculptor to the city's annual art show and he
must finalize some legal loose ends. Alas, all of Morgan's fancy
footwork to outsmart his Mom seems for naught when he collides with
Phoenix Banister, the young protégée who is on tour with the sculptor.
Morgan is astounded; Phoenix takes his breath away. She makes him wonder
if he is ready for a serious relationship and leary that his interest
will add fuel to fan his mother's 'marriage' fire.
After being under the apprenticeship of the famous sculptor for the last
seven years, Phoenix believes her time has come, but only for her art;
she is afraid of a relationship. But her fears do not diminish the fact
that Morgan Grayson is not the kind of man a woman can easily ignore. A
timid and skeptical Phoenix wonders if he will still be interested once
he learns of her past and the secret she harbors that could destroy her
career. Also weighing on her mind is whether this is a good time to
focus attention on something other than her dream?
Ms. Ray has again created an intriguing story which captures and warms the
heart. Readers can expect a little suspense, a little family meddling and
a lot of love. An added treat to this story is a visit with some of our
favorite characters from the series. Ms. Ray continues to share her
inimitable style of storytelling and her love of writing. I would be
remiss however if I did not warn that this book will warm more than the
heart.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not like her others..., March 14, 2005
This review is from: You and No Other (The Graysons, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was quite disappointed with this book. I am a longtime fan of Ms. Ray and rushed to the store to get this one. This time, Ms. Ray's Grayson family seemed a bit on the immature side. With the meetings of the single siblings and the extreme measures taken to avoid the matriarch of the family, Mrs. Grayson, this book did not have much time to develop the main characters and their romantic involvement. Also frustrating me was the mystery of Phoenix's past and how she dreaded Morgan's discovery - but yet, she blurted it out to him in all of 5 seconds. So what was the purpose? I haven't even finished the book. I was too frustrated with Ms. Ray's writing style in this book. I'll wait to read the reviews on Ms. Ray's next one before purchasing.
