Romance, Life and Love: 3 Cozy Romances in 1 Book: New Love New Life; Lost Love; Love in the Office
By Terry Atkinson
New Love, New Life: Linda decided to take up gardening so she would have something to do during the times that she and John (long-term boyfriend) would be together. At this time, they were apart, so she had to fill the time. Her tree that she had planted looked like it was dead and she was sad. Three months later, she was feeling better, her boss had praised her and her tree that looked like it was dying, started to sprout. Her cheerfulness effected everyone that she came in contact with. That night, at home, she came to the conclusion that she was healing from her break up with John and that she needed to like the tree and start a new life. She needed to someone to talk to like her grandmother (but her grandmother was dead) and the only person she could think of that was like her grandmother was John. She also came to the conclusion, that John was not part of the trouble but it was her. She clammed up just like her mother. She decided to see John in person to apologize to him even if he did move on. They meet at a park, and she cries and holds nothing back. John said it was also him. They both wanted to meet and express themselves so that they can move on with their lives. John said that he had met someone else and that it was her. I love this book. Its about relationships and how we need to communicate with the one we love.
Love in the Office: Lesley is trying to locate her natural mother and brother. There is a meeting set for a month time so she can meet her mother (who lives in the same city as she does) and her brother who moved away but will be there. She is a computer programmer who is working on a project and she is engaged to Mark. There were consultants coming in to show her and her co-workers how the new technology worked and they would be working together for many months. Lesley prefers to be in front of her computer and not in meetings. The head consultant is Brett. And as the months go by, Lesley is feeling more confident in her work. As her work consumed her time, it was putting a strain on her relationship with Mark. They did plan for one date night each week to catch up. Mark was an architect with his own business so he knew how busy it would be. Lesley felt uncomfortable when Brett put his hand on her shoulder since he didn't do it to anyone else. She was confused about her feelings. She couldn't talk to Mark. She avoided Brett the rest of the time that they were working on the project. She needed to get ready to meet her mother. She met her mother and brother. Her brother was Brett, the consultant that she had been working with. This is another great book that is clean and romance.
