Well Done!

Ms. Ray has done it again. She weaves a story that will hypnotize the reader and have you so involved with the characters that you feel like you can talk to them and they actually hear you. Take this journey with Justine as she goes to hell and back....and will consider going back to hell in order to do the right thing. But in walks a past love and things change. The answer becomes does she allow herself to be victimized by the vow she has taken...for better or worst...or does she realizes that she is entitled to real love. What's a person to do when it seems like almost everyone else wants you to do what is right for the person who has hurt you. Will Justine find herself and do what is best for her or will she turn her head and live a life that she so desparately want to run away from. well the answer lies between the front and back covers of this terrific and well written book. YOu won't be dissatisfied...I highly recommend this book....a page turner....

***What's A Woman To Do***

I'm a little depressed because I read the book too damn fast!! Anyway, as always, I loved this book. My heart went out to Justine almost immediately, and I admired the phenomenal friendship between her and Brianna. Beverly and Helen have serious issues, Andrew and Jackson (president..get it?)..maybe they need to talk to someone. Brianna, you're fierce girl. Dalton and Patrick are exceptional men because one loved since high school and the other loves even though she's with child by another. The cameo appearances by the characters from Ms. Ray's other novel "Like The First Time", was a pleasant surprise. "Irresistible You" here I come!!

Love is in the Air

I absolutely loved reading "In Another Man's Bed". It's such a soothing and affectionate read. The interactions between her female and male characters are as sweet as candy. The relationship between Brianna and Patrick was flirty and fun. Justine's and Dalton's relationship was attentive and gentle. I hated that lying S.O.B., Andrew. The nerve of him cheating on Justine. His mother, Beverly was psycho. The "love" she felt for her son was unnatural. Mrs. Ray has penned my last three reads and I haven't been disappointed. I look forward to reading "Irresistible You". Francis Ray is indeed a treasure.

In Another Man's Bed

I simply loved the Book. All the characters touched my heart. I admire Justine's strength in that she gained. I am most certain that I would not have been able to play the charade long. Now Briana is a person right after my own heart. She's got spunk and fire but is a loyal friend. The men in there lives are to be commended to. Dalton and Patrick the kind of men that dreams are made of. How many men do you know would stay with a a woman who was pregnant by another man. And Dalton being the highschool sweetheart was willing to fight through time and difficulties that he and Justine's faced. RUN AND GET THIS BOOK

(RAW Rating: 4.5) - Desire Vs Obligation

Justine Crandall loves her husband Andrew and feels as if they have the perfect marriage. When she tries to surprise him at their cabin in the Appalachian Mountains, she finds him in bed with another woman. Quickly realizing the situation in which she's placed herself, and what it means to her marriage, she leaves. Andrew speeds to catch up with her, unconcerned with the curves of the terrain and scattering of deer crossing signs. Justine has no problem navigating her vehicle through the torrent of tears, but Andrew isn't as fortunate when he veers off the cliff to avoid hitting a deer. Justine races down the incline and pulls him from the wreckage. Her quick actions save Andrew's life, but he barely survives the accident. Months afterwards, Justine continues to stand by his hospital bed, though her heart says to leave and never look back. She finds herself playing the role of loving wife, as she doesn't want to endure the drama that will come about if she files for divorce and shares his infidelity with family and friends. His doctor is recommending removing Andrew from life support, since the machines are what is keeping him alive. Andrew's mother insists he is going to recover and has Justine on lock-down at the hospital, insisting she spend all her time there with Andrew. Justine is even more conflicted when an old boyfriend returns to town and her feelings for him resurface. She fights to remain neutral, but in the end, she must decide if she will honor what she feels or continue to do as others expect, be there for her husband. Francis Ray has done a wonderful job with IN ANOTHER MAN'S BED. It is an enthralling novel which focuses on lost love and hope. The characters are crafted soundly, and while the reader will empathize with the characters, they will understand the dilemmas they're placed in. The writing is solid, the plot is a refreshing twist to the same thing read over and over in books dealing with infidelity, and the resolution is one which will leave fans of Ray eagerly awaiting her next literary offering. I really enjoyed IN ANOTHER MAN'S BED and would highly recommend it to others. Reviewed by Tee C. Royal of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
