Book Review: Amazingly Fresh and Enjoyable
Summary: 5 Stars
I really had no idea what to expect with this first book from I. Beacham, but I'm always excited to read something from a new author in this genre. Beacham has delivered an amazingly fresh story that kept this avid reader hooked from the first sentence. I couldn't put it down (haven't said that in a while) and was actually sad to get to the last page. Without a doubt, I'll be reading this one again soon.
There is nothing I didn't like about this book (pardon the double-negative). The main premise is set in the fashion industry. I have no real interest in fashion (give me my jeans any day), but this was really more of a backdrop for the story than the main focus. The primary plot was about a woman (Cate Canton) who unfairly lost everything at a young age and was determined to get it back in adulthood. On the other side of the equation is Dita Newton, a woman who had love as a child but little else. Dita is now living the life Cate thinks is rightfully hers.
From the second the two meet, attraction reigns. Cate, knowing who Dita is, plans to undermine the other woman but regrets her actions almost immediately. Dita, oblivious to Cate's plight, is emotionally wounded by the other woman's actions. The book goes back and forth between present and past, which can be a little confusing at first but is manageable if you're paying attention. The best part is this really adds depth and dimensionality to the plot and improves the quality of the story immensely.
Both protagonists are well developed too. Both have solid personal and family histories, business and personal networks, and unique personalities. It's not often an author is able to make her characters seem so alive.
Bottom line - Wow. Absolutely amazing!
