When Rosie Jacobs meets Cameron Whitton, it is definitely annoyance at first sight. Didn’t the British guy – who appeared as lost as a sock in a dryer - know that she was late to her first day of classes at New York University? Sure, he was looking at a map, and yes, she was running – with a full cup of hot coffee and a bag of donuts - looking over her shoulder, but come on already! So begins, Rosie: Note to Self, book one of Lipstick Confessions, a series of contemporary stories of romance and intrigue, written by first-time author, Claire Conner, and New York Times bestselling author, G.P. Taylor.
Anyone familiar with romance stories knows that a beginning like this means the couple falls in love. And so they do. Three years after their disastrous meeting, finds Rosie getting married at Carrington Hall, Cameron’s ancestral home. Life is perfect for Rosie and her new hubby; until an unthinkable tragedy occurs. As she faces an uncertain future, one thing is undeniable; she must care for her mother-in-law, Mara Whitton, no matter what.
In Rosie: Note to Self – which is based upon the Biblical story of Ruth - the authors accomplished something that is quite rare in today’s Christian fiction; they crafted a story that is not cheesy. The characters – even the minor ones - are fully fleshed and fun to be around. The story is well written and flows from one scene to another, making it difficult to put down.
Both Claire Connor and GP Taylor are from the United Kingdom and it is a true statement that both Britain and America are two countries divided by a common language. There are terms and phrases that U.S. readers might not understand, which is to be expected for the British characters in the story, but feels out-of-place for American-born Rosie. But that one hiccup does not detract from the story.
After reading Rosie: Note to Self, fans will be happy to know that the film rights to the book have already been bought to turn this classic rom-com into a Hollywood movie.
