Review: Never let it be said that Carmen DeSousa follows a formula...

Split Decisions is the sequel to Carmen DeSousa's best seller She Belongs to Me but can be read as a standalone novel-though I do suggest reading She Belongs to Me just because it's a great book.We're reintroduced to the lovely main characters; Jaynee and Jordan. Quite a few years have passed since the events of She Belongs to Me and life has moved forward. There are kids, life has changed a bit, and Jaynee is now an author. I think there was a bit of maturing on both Jaynee and Jordan's parts between books 1 and 2.Now, if you've read DeSousa's other work you may think you know what to expect from her romantic-suspense novels, but in Split Decisions she definitely breaks the rules.I loved the beginning of the book, then things got a little...strange. But, bear with it. It isn't a bad strange. And, although it wasn't what I was expecting from a DeSousa book, it was still a fantastic read. It is well-paced, keeps the mystery under wraps until close to the end, and had me sitting on the edge of my seat at times. There were moments when I laughed, or when my heart ached for the characters. Sometimes I wanted to slap them or grab them by the shoulders and shake them, ask them `why can't you see?'. All-in-all it has everything a good romantic suspense novel needs, with a twist.So, kudos to you Carmen for breaking the rules, turning my expectations on their head and giving us a fantastic new read. Never let it be said that Carmen DeSousa follows a formula5 stars for Split Decisions.
