Artist Medora
Jackson has loved Randall Hollis since she met him more than twenty
years ago. Now it’s time to cut Randall out of her life. But letting him
go is harder than she thinks.
Randall has always
loved Medora. She’s the woman who keeps him sane. His best friend. He
always shows up on Valentines Day, Christmas, and her birthday, every
year, without fail. But Medora isn’t enough to keep him satisfied. As
her art dealer, he sees her at least once a month and keeps a close eye
on her paintings.
Ana Reese-Mitchell
is about ten years older than Randall. A rich widow, she hopes that
Randall will be her second chance at love. She is an African American
art buyer, and has fallen in love with Medora Jackson’s work.
Ambitious graduate
student Taylor Benedict is sure Randall is the first rung on her ladder
to success. In spite of her friends’ warnings, she is adamant she will
continue to see Randall.
What will happen
when the three women find out about each other? Will Randall be able to
maintain his dignity? Will any of his women continue to see him? Or will
the man of all seasons be completely destroyed?
I didn’t want to
fall in love with Randall, but I did. The author portrayed him very
well, and I came to care deeply for him and hoped he would make some
right decisions. The women characters also were very well developed. As
a reader I was able to identify with each one of them, experiencing
their emotions, and angst.
ALWAYS TRUE TO YOU
(IN MY FASHION) contains language which some readers might find
offensive. Some of her comments seemed rude and slowed the story down
considerably for me. That said, ALWAYS TRUE TO YOU (IN MY FASHION) is a
quick read which will draw the reader in and keep their interest.
