THE CALL by Cynthia Berkeley

 

THE CALL is set in Costa Rica, a retreat center, and is about a young woman who used her spiritual gifts to help others and to find true, unconditional love. This book is an inspirational novel that is highly unusual as it is also a contemporary romance which includes unique spiritual content.

Caitlyn Montgomery is a special child. Her unique spiritual gifts lead her into unbelievable adventures in Costa Rica resort. The gifted heroine follows her grandma's advice to spend her life helping others and consequently is sent to various unusual missions all over the world to accomplish her secret assignments. Her cousins, Kelly and Leigh, play a minor, yet essential role in the story, while Caitlyn's grandma Eleanor is the main sub-character through which the story revolves.

Simon Nobel, an entertainment entrepreneur is the hero of the story. A man of scandalous affairs, he tries to find inner peace and a new way of meaning in his life at the retreat center. His encounter with Caitlyn will startle him and make him reconsider his previous lifestyle .

But will Caitlyn understand him? Will she be able to accept the special relationship they have? Or will Simon spoil everything and return to his previous lifestyle? Are they going to fight against all odds and find true love?

The story unfolds slowly introducing Caitlyn in her early childhood and showing her special attachment to her beloved grandma Eleanor. Then, many years later when the heroine is in her late 20s, she is sent on a mission to Costa Rica to help an unknown person. That's the point when the real story starts. Her first encounter with Simon sparks the beginning of their special relationship. A week spent in the sanctuary will definitely change Caitlyn's life for good. Simon is the man of her dreams, and once he realizes that as well, he tries to do his best to be her perfect match, no matter his previous turbulent lifestyle.

The book is unique in its kind and wonderful to read. It certainly fulfills all of the romantic fiction readers' expectations and a lot more: to feel entertained, satisfied, happy and inspired till the end of the story. It is not an ordinary romantic fiction novel. It includes spiritual and fantasy elements throughout the story that fascinate the readers and fill them with positive thoughts. Moreover, it includes a lot of strong sensual sex scenes that may appeal to the readership of romantic fiction.

There's a happy ending that cannot be predicted easily, thus creating suspense till the very last pages. I think THE CALL is a wonderful book that no one should miss.

Would you like to find the magic that will transform your life? Read this book! You can get it from www.amazon.com , www.ingrambooks.com , www.barnesandnoble.com www.borders.com , $15.95 paperback.
