Reviews are sometimes scary things to read when one is the author, but I thought I would share this new review from Blog Critics. Besides the fact that it’s a beautiful review and frankly I’m quite surprised and very honored, I’m really excited that this reviewer “got it.”

I respect an honest review, even when it’s less than stellar, but it’s a wonderful feeling to know when the book has really spoken to the reader and their response is that they came away glad they read it. I can’t even describe the feeling it gives me.
I’m reading the book now and am curious whether you are a fan of The Nanny. Maxwell Sheffield is the name of the Broadway producer/father on that 90s TV show, and it’s a rather unusual choice for a character name!
Hi Shauna. How interesting. I had no idea. To be honest, it’s just a random name!
I hope you enjoy the book.
Hi! I am reading the book too and I had to find out if you intentionally named Max’s character after the character on “The Nanny”. How strange that it was a total coincidence.
Loving the book, by the way!
Hi ladies. Nope. It is a total coincidence. Isn’t that strange? But I love the name. It fits my Max so well! I named my character Max just because it seemed to fit my character. Then I got the idea for the last name from a married couple I knew in college. Then his first name morphed into Maxwell during the scene where Lucy and Max meet and there is a little joke about their long names, but as you will see, the rest of the time everyone just calls him Max. I don’t mind that he shares a name with a character that fans of The Nanny love so much! They are very different, but have a great last name!
