Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 22, 2014
I received a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.Carol's Image is the third book in the Fairfield Series, by Mary Ann Jordan.  The hunky police officer, the angel ER Nurse, and the subject matter the book discusses makes it one of her best written books.Tom has been knocked off his kester, both physically and mentally.  He has been hit by a car and before he passes out he sees an angel right before him.  As he wakes up he can't discover who this blonde beauty is.  His friends don't believe Tom saw her, but Tom is out to prove differently.Than Tom finds his angel.  Carol, the ER Nurse, is literally a woman he could make his.  She is kind, smart, and gentle.  Her problem lies with the fact that Tom was a player, and they have had run ins with his hook-ups.  Carol has poor self-image and when stressed by Tom's past she has a tendency to have problems with food.  Can Tom help or hinder her?Mary Ann Jordan ranked high marks by the way she handled image distortions, and eating disorders.  She showed recovery and healing, instead of glamorizing the disease. I can tell you from personal experience that sometimes that not glamorizing the disease is a hard line not to cross.  But Mary Ann gave a 5++Star rating in her delivery of what Carol experienced.  Mary Ann Jordan showed that eating disorders not only deal with body perception but is also has to deal with the person having a hard time with the feeling of loss of control.  For Carol, her parents were never happy with her, and had to dictate everything and anything she did.  Having the feeling to be perfect for family and friends can take a toll on the person.  I give applause to Mary Ann for tackling this subject.I really suggest this series, especially Carol's Image.  I am looking forward to reading more from Mary Ann Jordan.
