**Please note - I received an ARC from the author, in exchange for an honest review**In the mood for a new romance?  Want an emotional story that you can relate to?  I think you will find it in Sarah Goodman's debut novel, Life's Perfect Plan.In a fictional world full of alpha-male billionaires that we fantasize about, sometimes you just need a good, sweet romance to balance out your bookshelf.  Sometimes you need love to come in the form ofas every-day, real-life encounters, with issues of everyday people.  Now don't get me wrong.......I am all too interested in discovering issues behind Gideon Cross, when book 4 of the then-trilogy but now quintet, comes out.  But let's face it.......I would never encounter a Gideon Cross or a Christian Grey in my real life.  However, I can see myself being best friends with someone like Elizabeth Thomas, who you will meet in Life's Perfect Plan.  I can actually see myself as Ella, her best friend.  She and I both have `tell it like it is' tendencies.  I can relate to this level of love and loss......I settled down the other evening with a yummy cocktail and dove right into this book.  I always relate to school/college sweethearts, because I was lucky enough to marry mine too.  As a woman, and a mother, I can relate to the struggles you face when trying to conceive and I really understand the desire to want it so badly and feeling like you are failing.  I can also totally relate to things not happening according to plan.Life's Perfect Plan is a story of unconditional love....of the rise and fall of hopes and dreams.....a story of mourning and rediscovery......a story that reminds you that you can make all the plans you want, but plans change...and never really on your terms.  Go give it a try  - you are likely to fall in love, a couple of times.I love the discovery of new authors.  I look forward to following Sarah's publications and career.  I look forward to more stories that will make me smile and laugh, pull at my heartstrings, and even make me cry in my Martini.Follow my reviews at [...]
