From Library Journal: "Raven Winter is the best entertainment attorney in the business. She is handling the reclusive, best-selling author Holly, who fears that Jason Cole, an Academy AwardR-winning filmmaker, is going to change the happy ending in the film version of her book. Nick is introduced to this group when Raven distractedly jogs in front of his nursery truck. Suffice it to say that these beings have much more than their share of talent, wealth, good looks, career success, and charm. Still, tortured and tormented by events from their past, Raven and Holly have not (yet) found that perfect mate. Strongly recommended for libraries with Sandra Brown or Danielle Steel fans."

I just finished this book yesterday and it was one of those that you can't put down. Raven is a wealthy and succesful entertainment lawyer who has searched for love and never came out ahead. Holly is a romance author who is hiding from reality. Nick is a single dad that is trying to protect his family and heart. Jason is a actor/director/producer who has bought the rights to one of Holly's books. Holly doesn't want him to change it even though he has a right to. They are all connected enough to maintain in the same story but it is like reading 2 or 3 different stories within one book. You would think it would be somewhat confusing trying to keep track of who is connected to who and how but in this book it flows so smoothly that you don't even really think about it. This book is a romance without all the explicit love scenes but it isn't just a romance it's about the characters finding themselves and helping each other.
Though only two couples are detailed in the description of this book there are actually three couples chronicled.
This is one of the most poignant books I have read in a long time. A beautiful story.

My wife got it because she thought it looked interesting, but she has too many books to read now and needs to get rid of some. She's never read it, but it sounds like a good read.
Devotees of contemporary romance will find here a delightful read, courtesy of the author of Rainbows (LJ 11/15/91). Raven Winter is the best entertainment attorney in the business. She is handling the reclusive, best-selling author Holly, who fears that Jason Cole, an Academy AwardR-winning filmmaker, is going to change the happy ending in the film version of her book. Nick is introduced to this group when Raven distractedly jogs in front of his nursery truck. Suffice it to say that these beings have much more than their share of talent, wealth, good looks, career success, and charm. Still, tortured and tormented by events from their past, Raven and Holly have not (yet) found that perfect mate. Most romance readers expect a happy ending, but the pleasure comes in the journey to reach it, and Stone does not disappoint. Strongly recommended for libraries with Sandra Brown or Danielle Steel fans.
