Review: Real chances & real choices
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book was definitely realistic as far as circumstances, emotions, marriage, and chances & choices. At the beginning you could feel the longing and love Julian had for Claire. She was a bit resistant at first but deep down she knew she loved him too. Most books end with the marriage at the end of the book. Not this one. Within the first quarter or so they get married. I am not used to this so I was wondering what could the rest of the book possibly be about or keep my interest. That made it a little hard to continue. However I kept going and was glad I did.Julian has loved and lost. He fears to love again just to lose it again. Claire hadn't had much experience with love but rather lust. They both have their walls & they both have their fears. Unfortunately they are of each other. And it doesn't help any when Claire's ex, Richard, the reason why she left New York and came back to LA, closer to Julian, ends up in LA working w/ her after she returns from her honeymoon.From there it changes. Julian seems to withdraw from Claire. While Claire is trying to resist Richard.There is a good dose of passion, angst, doubt, fights, revenge, lies and everything in between in this book. Of course they finally let their walls fall and open up to one another. They learn to love each other. Maybe not traditional but a great love story!!
