REVIEW from Mary Gramlich "The Reading Reviewer"

WHEN MORNING COMES by Francis Ray

Should we ever stop dreaming about the life we can have?

Sabrina Thomas and Kara Simmons are the best of friends pursing rewarding careers, seeking to find love with a HEA attached to it.  Sabrina set her sights on the ever-elusive Dr. Cade Mathis who may be a gift surgeon but he has no bedside manner.  Kara gets in the line of sight of Tristan Landers and once he meets her he is determined to show her she is worth being loved.

While Cade tries to run for cover, Sabrina keeps up her pace to follow up.  Sabrina is trying to prove that even though he did not have the best of life growing up he became something that everyone admires.  Cade has bitterness he needs to let go of and Sabrina is right there to guide him.  Both did grow up as adopted children but the difference of a loving home for Sabrina makes Cade even angrier toward his past.

Tristan introduces Kara and her stunning artwork to just the right people and begins the slow process of opening up doors for her.  Kara has to fight off the brutal emotional attacks from her mother and start to believe she is worth more than the price of a dress at Dillards.

The four lives are connected in more ways than could ever be expected, with some great surprises and an awful discovery.  While working through the highs and lows of any relationship you learn that you have to believe in the possible, fight the future, and embrace the gift of love when presented.

Francis Ray writes about all the complexities of a relationship and the wonderful road you take getting connecting with the love of your life.

  3. Sunset. I'm not a morning person. Honestly, I really hate waking up early and I get grumpy when somebody wakes me up. ;>

  4. Sunset. Most of the time recently I've been asleep during the sunrise. Though the sunrises were very pretty when I was forced to get up really early for jobs I've had over the years.

  6. I've always enjoyed both. Often I see sunsets more and it's beautiful. I would like to be on top of hill and isolated from the city when that happens.

  8. I would have to say sunset... But I really wish I could say sunrise. I'm just NOT a morning person. I never have been. I honestly think I'm going to have to set my alarm to enjoy a sunrise.
