Summary: Timeless Tales 5 stars review
Review: by DonnaJ

Raye Franklin wants to start her own business All Care Home Health and she's been looking for a financial investor for the last six months. Macon Winston agrees to be that investor if she'll agree to his terms, him being the office manager. They are attracted to each other but decide business and pleasure do not mix, so fighting these feelings she agrees and so starts the fun of watching two people fight for all they're worth all the way to the end.

In walks competition, in the form of Dr. Cary Childress and Myrna Winston. Raye seeks the doctor out to get patient referrals but Macon doesn't like the idea that she is to have dinner with him at his house and forbids her to go. Macon is discussing the selling of his property in Texas to Myrna his ex-wife, but Raye doesn't know this and thinks they are reconciling, so she turns cold towards Macon.

The opening scene gets to you right off, you just have to read the rest to see the road these two are going to travel: "Ah, perfect jeans. Raye licked her lips. Perfect jeans were hard to wear out no matter how long the ride, promised to fit better over time and hugged in all the right places. And a perfect pair of 505's was walking toward her this minute." She hopes he isn't Mr. Winston, but of course her wish doesn't come true.

The scene I love best is after Raye has stayed home from work pretending to be sick and Macon has lost the vote with the staff to be the one to go check on her. He's informed her that he knows the real reason she stayed home, her pride. As he's backed her over to the couch and out of her clothes, he asks her if she's still a virgin, she nods and he kisses her softly and her feet begin to sweat. She has to hold back from giggling because the thought entered her head that "if she got any wetter, even Bounty wouldn't be the quicker-picker-upper." As I was reading this I started laughing out loud picturing the scene in my head.

This is just an example of how well these two authors are at getting the reader involved with not only the two main characters but the secondaries as well. And how they were able to integrate the home health care service into the story line, how well it helps ease the minds of family members of the ones in need of this care.
