Masks

The last thing Andrea Matthews had wanted to do was go out. But once she did, she was glad she'd had. Meeting the leading actor had kept her awake all night. She couldn't believe the way she'd acted, but he makes her feel safe, warm and wanted; she hasn't felt this way for a long time. Now she's afraid it's happened to fast. Andee doesn't know what he sees in her, a history professor from a small town, she only knows she loves him. After what had happened a year and a half ago, Andee isn't sure she's ready for what's happening between them and around them.

Max needed time away to deal with what had happened and being back with friends seems to be best thing for him right now. He never thought he'd meet a woman like Andee, one that made everything look like it was going to work out. She's the one thing that seems to be right in his life besides acting in the play. Max knows he's going to have to tell her the truth, especially after she'd told him about her past. But will he be able to hold onto her once she knows? Can Max reconcile his past with his present? Read this story and these and other questions will be answered.

Ms. Rhodes has a story that will have readers remembering romance and how it makes them feel. I loved the way the author made Andee and Max with the all too human characteristics of self-doubt, love and compassion. Ms. Rhodes' descriptions made me feel as if I was with Andee and Max on their journey. This is a book that I read from beginning to end without interruptions. I couldn't put it down.
