Since Forever (Arabesque)
Norfleet brings the price of fame and fortune to light in her latest African American romance. After achieving great success as an actress, Alex Price inexplicably abandons her career to live in splendid isolation, either in St. Croix or her home in New Jersey, which is where action-movie star Lance Morgan runs into her during a blizzard. Lance desperately wants to get the rights to a book by reclusive author Mason Turner, and he believes that Alex is a means to that end. Lance brings Alex out of her shell, and she starts to enjoy her time with Lance. They start a relationship that seems like true love, but soon the ugly side of Hollywood takes its toll with tabloid articles and perennial hangers-on. Alex realizes that Lance is using her to find Mason Turner and plots her revenge. Lance then has to decide which he wants more, Alex or the movie rights to the book, and heroically makes the right decision. Gratifying escapism rich in glitz and glamour.Patty EngelmannCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
