Summary of Romance Book Club's Meeting, June 20, 2008
The Romance Book Club discussed Snow in April by Rosamunde Pilcher at its June
20th meeting. Two recommendations were given as choices for July. When
Lightning Strikes, by Kristin Hannah, was chosen as the selection to read at
the July meeting.
Recommendations Suggested:
1. When Lightning Strikes by Kristin Hannah

Synopsis:
Romance writer Alaina Costanza has given up on dreams and fairy tales. Then,
one stormy night, she is suddenly plunged back in time to the wild, Western
world of her newest novel. Disoriented and disbelieving, she is kidnapped by
her own character, a ruthless outlaw known only as Killian. But this "dream" is
all too real. Once wisecracking and invincible, Alaina is now a mother
desperate to return to the child she left behind-one hundred years in the
future. Yet Alaina and Killian will discover a love too magnificent to last a
single lifetime. But for the sake of Alaina's child, they must risk it all and
fight for a future that depends on lightning striking ... twice.
2. Legend by Jude Deveraux

Synopsis:
Kady Long, a celebrated chef about to be married to a gorgeous man, felt she
was the luckiest woman alive. But, when she opened an antique flour tin and
discovered a charming old photo of four strangers, she felt a mysterious
empathy...and an irresistible desire to try on the delicate satin wedding
dress, amethyst earrings, and gossamer veil that were tucked inside. Stranger
still was the dizzy spell that came over her.... When she opened her eyes, Kady
found herself in the 19th century.
Grace has a list of books receiving Rita awards from the Romance Writers of
America which she will be glad to mail to anyone who wishes a copy of it and
has marked those books available on Bookshare. Please let us know if there is
anything on that list which appeals to you as a possibility for future reading.
AS always, we welcome your suggestions. We will gather again on July 18, 2008.
Until then, happy reading!
