Love has to be the most complicated emotion of all and In the first installment of the DiCarlo Brides series, Heather Tullis takes us on an emotional ride.
In the book, “A Perfect Fit”
Camellia DiCarlo, Cami for short, has led a charmed life. She and her sister Lana had a loving mother and father and the perfect family. Her mother died several years ago of a debilitating disease and her father had sat by her bedside, supporting her until the very end.
Cami’s world has suddenly come crashing down with the burial of her father. She had just recently found out he had terminal cancer, a disease that would have killed him within months, if the pulmonary embolism hadn’t taken him first.
Cami and Lana walk into the lawyer’s office expecting a very private reading of the will, but who are these other women? George Marlin DiCarlo’s estate consisted of a series of Resorts, Hotels and Spas and he was worth billions. The thing Cami finds impossible to believe is that he also had four other daughters by four different women. How could he keep that kind of secret? Did her mother know?
The will explains it all, they are each to receive one sixth of their father’s estate, provided they complete his terms. Since none of them besides Cami and Lana knew about the other, they are to take over the opening and running of his latest resort in the mountains of Colorado. They must occupy the home he has bought for them and live together for one year. George explains that he loves each of them equally. He hopes, by requiring them to spend the next year together, they will come to love each other, as friends at least, if not as sisters.
Cami feels betrayed. She and her father were so close; how could he not have told her? She then gets another shocker. After meeting a young man that fascinates her, she finds out her father is match making from the grave.
I loved this story with all the twist and turns.
Happy reading, Linda
I like the idea of being an author but I don’t like to have my picture taken and I don’t think I have ever had one that I really liked. It may come from my mother always cautioning me, “pretty is as pretty does” and maybe in my mind I don’t ever measure up. The simple fact is, authors need pictures and unless you have a really good camera, snapshots just don’t make the grade. I can’t tell you how many times the pictures I submit to my editor for the column in the Times Record are rejected. If you are out there writing the great american novel then you need to take a break and find someone who can do a quality photograph. If it isn’t in your budget to get professional photos then find a way to pay for at least one, you are going to need it for your book cover. Good Luck and I hope to see your picture out there soon.
