Family Secrets can be Deadly!

Author Dwan Abrams writes a delightful tale of romance, mystery, murder, family secrets and deception. She will have readers guessing as to where the story will take them next in her book “Only True Love Waits.” She captures so many of the issues dealing with dysfunctional families. Her story explores incest, rape, abandonment, adoption, siblings, alcoholism, along with some important mother/son and mother/daughter relationship issues.

She gets the reader involved about her characters early on by giving them lots of “life.” They are not cardboard after-thoughts of the author but fleshed out ‘real people' that you can sense and feel some emotions for. It makes the storyline and the plot work well. The dialog is perfect and fits well with the movement of the action. Ms. Abrams obviously has a talent for writing and it shows.

The book will appeal to lovers of romance and mystery novels. I think women will love this book because the author gives us such strong female lead characters. The story is good entertainment and can be read in a single sitting. It is 150 pages of action and emotion; and makes for a powerful combination. The story is more than just a love story and deeper than just a romance novel. There are social issues that Abrams deals with like church attitudes, family values and even puts some light on the value of being a virgin.

The book gets the MWSA highest book rating of FIVE STARS. It also receives my personal endorsement.
