LUV TO READ

I absolutely loved Kendall and Cole's story. Ceyla Bowers has done her thing with this book. Kendall and Cole knew each other when they were younger because was Cole and Kendall's brother were best friends. Needless to say Kendall had a crush on Cole 15 yrs ago and when they see each other in the ER 15 yrs later, Kendall tries to deny her feelings because she was hurt that Cole didn't acknowledge her 15 yrs ago. Cole has been through alot with his ex wife and she has kept his son from him and lead each of them to believe the other didn't want anything to do with the other. I won't give anymore away. This is a really great read!

Anything But Love

Dr. Kendall Matthews is a 40 year old divorcee and OB/GYN doctor who is not looking for love again after her divorce from her unfaithful husband. She is all business and the love of her life is her dog Jordan. Her Mom wants her to find love again and marriage because she wants grandchildren. Coltrane Highpoint is a famous author who moves back home after a bitter divorce and a conniving ex-girlfriend who almost ruined his career. He is also the best friend of Kendall's brother and she had a crush on him when she was sixteen. He broke her heart without knowing it because of a rude comment she over heard while he was on the phone about not wanting to be at a juvenile birthday party. She has hated him every since that comment. He ends up in the emergency room at the hospital that she works at and raises hell with everyone who tries to treat him until she comes in and puts him in his place. Max is her physician's assistant and her best friend and see that Colt has an affect on Kendall and pushes to get them together despite the fact of his own marital problems. Kendall's ex returns and tries to win her back thinking that she is still the weak woman that he was once married to. Because of Cole's love and compassion for her, the brick wall that she has built up over the years slowly comes tumbling down and she finally realizes that she was not the reason for the breakup of her marriage. She is stronger because of Cole and he too finds that the hurt that his ex-wife and last girlfriend caused makes him a stronger person as well and ready for love again. They both go through a lot of drama because of their ex's but together their love prevails. This storyline was so good that I didn't put this book down until the end. It was worth the read from the first page until the last.

Everything and Love

Agreed with the other reviewers and I enjoyed this book. It ended too soon.In ANYTHING BUT LOVE, Ms Bowers gave us Kendall and Cole, two people on their journey to growth, fulfillment, and love.They both needed to emerge from their "comfort zones". All the secondary characters especially the MOMs were believable and strong.Loved how Cole bonded with Mark, Kendall's PA / best friend. In return, he could be there for Mark. The trip to the NBA basketball game was a HOOT! Just settle back and enjoy!!! You'll recognize matchmakers, troublemakers, and folks who found "true love"... Thanks Ms Celya.

Sexy and Romantic

Anything but Loveþ Celya Bowers has created another wonderful lusty, sexy and loving story. The characters in her latest are so wonderful, head strong; career minded and most are loveable. There is requited love, danger, violence, unrequited love, secrets, money and drugs all in various doses. That any woman can appreciate. Dr. Kendall Matthews - OB/GYN for high risk pregnancies who does not let anyone get close. James Matthews her ex - husband, the good for nothing cheating, lying Pharmaceutical Rep. and Kendall's brother Attorney Charles Stone who is Coltrane 's high school friend & classmate, now his friend and attorney, who is always there for his little sister before anything or anyone else. Coltrane Xavier Highpoint - Famous Writer - has a lot of baggage especially his ex - wife Gabriella, the famous actress/diva otherwise known as "the Bitch from Hell". Coltrane's ex - girl friend, Holley the heartless news reporter who almost destroyed his career for the sake of her own. Coltrane's son, Taylor who is 16 - Who, thanks to his mother has been estranged from his father because Gabriella plays everyone so she can have what she wants. I was swept up in their challenges and triumphs. I found myself so involved that it was as if I were a part of their story. This is a must read.

A Grown & Sensual Romantic Treat

Celya Bowers crafts another GROWN, SENSUAL, and tasteful romantic treat...UNFORGETTABLE characters, main and secondary...an INTRIGUING storyline...I was CAUGHT UP in this tale as Kendall and Cole make an effort to navigate their way through trust issues and also TRY to keep the people from their past involvements OUT of their budding relationship...she touches on quite a few social issues, such as divorce, custody issues, domestic violence, several dysfunctional family/relationship situations, yet through it all she keeps you ENTERTAINED...WELL DONE, Ms. Bowers!
