Absolute Obsession Virtual Book Tour July 2011 and My Review

Join C. Elizabeth, author of the contemporary romance, Absolute Obsession (Wings ePress), as she virtually tours the blogosphere July 5 – 29 2011 on her first virtual book tour with Pump Up Your Book!

Triggering an intervention of fate, 42 year old Rose Gerbaldi, discovers her heart and soul have been forever united with beautiful, 30 year old, British movie star, Michael Terrance - - a discovery that compels her reality to fiercely reclaim her, ultimately devastating the very lives fate had so lovingly entwined.

Forsaken by a woman he’s never met, unable to control the debilitating agony, Michael seeks solace on the darker side of Hollywood. Meanwhile in Western Canada, having been doubly devastated, Rose relinquishes to a life of loneliness. Both are certain they’ll never again find that for which they long for - - each other.Foolish people – fate is infallible

My Thoughts:
Absolute Obsession is a novel about love, loss and how decisions that a person makes in life affect others. Rose is a forty something woman who is relatively happy in her marriage but has dreams of Michael, a Hollywood star, who she ends up writing a letter to after she reads an article about him. Rose does not think that Michael will even read the letter but he does and calls her and they start having regular phone conversations. She is honest with her husband and tells him about the calls and of course he isn't happy. What starts out as flirtation ends up going farther than either Rose and Michael had expected.
Rose has to make a decision on what she wants and she tells Michael that she can no longer talk to him and that she loves her husband.
What happens next is a story that takes the reader through the loss, heartbreak and happiness that takes place for Rose and Michael. At times bittersweet, heartbreaking and at others happy, joyous and sensual story about two people who hope that their dreams can come true. I liked it very much. Just make sure that you have a box of tissues near....
