Brought to you by OBS reviewer AutumnBeware of spoilers!!Myra has never felt more disillusioned or more alone.  First, her Grandfather dies and then she finds out that her long time boyfriend and colleague is having an affair with his personal assistant.  She knows that something has just got to give and that something is her.She decides to start a new life standing on her own two feet in the house that her Grandfather left to her.  She moves half way across the country to run way from her heartache and pursue her dream of writing her own novel.  What she finds is a run down house that just may need as many repairs as her battered and bruised heart.Dylan is tired of being called out on emergency repair jobs just so some of the town's women can openly proposition him.  They may call him just because he is easy on the eyes but he is still the best contractor (and rudest) in town.  When he receives a call from the town's newest resident to help her with her Grandfather's house, he finds that he can't stop thinking about her.  He can't bring himself to face his own past, but can he give love another chance with the melancholy beauty?Color of Loneliness is the wonderful debut novel from Madeleine Beckett.  Her characters are both seriously flawed and yet extremely amusing.  The love story between Myra and Dylan feels real and never forced.  Although I have to admit that it was Susie who stole the whole show for me.  She had me laughing out loud - constantly!  The ending will have fans adding the sequel, The Color of Forgiveness, to their "Must Have" lists and won't be able to wait to devour more...This review and more at openbooksociety dot com
