Book Reviews of The Price of PassionBook Review: WHEN WORDS FAIL YOU - YOU'VE EXPERIENCED PARADISE! Summary: 5 Stars
PARADISE IS THE PLACE THIS AUTHOR TAKES HER READERS. SHE IS A LITERARY GENIUS. THE CHOKEHOLD SHE PUTS ON YOUR EMOTIONS KEEPS YOU TURNING THE PAGES LATE INTO THE MIDNIGHT HOUR. HER TAKE ON THE ROMANCE SCENES LEAVE YOU GASPING FOR BREATH. BUT WRAPPED AROUND ALL OF THAT IS THE MOST SUSPENSFUL STORY I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF READING. THAT PART ABOUT THE TAPE AND WHAT IT CONTAINED, WHICH WASN'T PRESENTED TO THE VERY END WAS HEART STOPPING. THE EVOLVEMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MARC AND VIVIAN WAS SUPERB AND SO DOWN TO EARTH BELIEVABLE. MS. PALFREY EVEN GOT ME TO ALMOST FEEL SORRY FOR WALTER, BUT THE SCENE SHE PRESENTED OF HOW HE JUST THREW PASSION AT VIVIAN PUT AN END TO THAT EMOTION QUICK AND A HURRY. BUT THEN I GOT CAUGHT UP IN FEELING SORRY AGAIN FOR OLE WALTER WHEN HE HAD TO TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL. MY EMOTIONS WERE ROCKING AND REELING AND YOURS WILL BE IF YOU SHOULD HAVE THE PRIVLEGE OF READING THIS AUTHOR'S WORK. THE INTERACTION OF VIVIAN'S MOTHER WAS THE CONSUMATE TWIST IN THIS BOOK, WHAT WE MOTHER'S WON'T DO FOR OUR YOUNG WAS TAKEN TO THE LIMITS IN THIS BOOK. OLE GLORIA TURNED OUT TO BE THE ULTIMATE MAMA IN THIS ONE, EVEN THOUGH I HAD TROUBLE WITH HER PART IN WALTER'S COVER-UPS. IF YOU WANT YOUR FUNNY BONE TICKLED, WALTER WILL SURELY DO IT WHEN YOU READ ABOUT THE WAY HE GOES ABOUT SOLVING HIS DILEMMA AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE. I WAS HYSTERICAL WHEN I READ OF WHAT VIVIAN WAS THINKIKNG AND WANTED TO SHOUT BUT COULND'T LET THE WORDS OUT. MARC IS THE MAN OF THE HOUR AND KNOWS HOW TO PLEASE HIS WOMAN IN EVERY WAY, EVEN WHEN SHE IS BREAKING HIS HEART. AND SHERMAN O SHERMAN, THAT IS THE MOST CREM DE LA CREM OF SUSPENSE TWISTS. MS. PALFREY IS A SMOOTH OPERATOR WHEN IT COMES TO TWISTS AND TURNS. ENOUGH! BUY THE BOOK AND EXPERIENCE PARADISE! I TOO AM AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF HER OTHER TWO BOOKS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BUY ANYTHING SHE PUTS OUT.
Summary of The Price of Passion"Does it have a name?" Vivian asked Walter. What would be the proper question to ask her husband of nearly twenty years, when he brings home his illegitimate baby as casually as a bag of groceries? Although Walter's frequent infidelities became increasingly obvious to Vivian, she struggled to accept them. After all, she reasoned, they came with the Mercedes, the beautiful house, and the prestige of being Mrs. Carlson, the Texas state representative's better half. Having long since abandoned her attempts at motherhood, Vivian resigned herself to her law studies and a lonely existence as the perfect political wife in suburban Austin. But Vivian draws the line at her husband's unexpected arrival. And once one line is drawn, she discovers that she can draw others. Left alone with this tiny, helpless bundle that disgusts and fascinates her, Vivian faces some of the hardest choices of her life. On the brink of a long-forgotten freedom, she begins the painful, empowering process of rebuilding her shattered life -- and the reawakening of her soul to the possibilities of love. An emotionally charged, razor-sharp take on the myriad challenges facing women today, Evelyn Palfrey's witty and suspenseful novel establishes her as a refreshing new voice in contemporary women's fiction.
