Elizabeth Wellington had everything money and marriage
could buy, including an amazing Park Avenue Penthouse and a
ruggedly handsome bodyguard she hadn't wanted.
What she didn't have was peace in her mind and spirit.
While she loved her handsome husband, Reed, she feel
isolated and cut off from him. When she tries to discuss
things with him, he fobs her off to handle trivial tasks
while seemingly spending too much time with others,
especially a woman with the lingering scent of coconut
shampoo. Maybe, all their efforts to have a baby might not
be worthwhile, if their marriage is so empty?
While Elizabeth's antenna is picking up vibes, she quickly
jumps to erroneous conclusions which she confides, not to
her husband, but to her longtime girlfriend? Will her
advice help or make things worse?
Reed was definitely hiding things from her, but not for
what she thought. The doctor had warned him not to put
Elizabeth under stress; yet, his failure to communicate
only added more stress. What was he to do? How could he
keep her from danger if he couldn't tell her? Then, when a
child becomes their responsibility, would his family's
inference cause all the marriage cards to fall?
Barbara Dunlop is a proven spinner of sensuous romances and
has provided some interesting twists on how the rich and
beautiful have their own set of difficulties. MARRIAGE,
MANHATTAN STYLE is complete on its own, yet, it nicely
links into the other books in the Park Avenue Scandals
series based on the lives of the residents of 721 Park
Avenue. While I appreciated her deft hand in making Reed
learn what is needed in his marriage, I admit I felt less
identification with Elizabeth who tended to stay too far
over on the petulant side and didn't really seem to develop
any strong insights or fresh perspectives. Still, that is
only a minor quibble in a worthwhile read. You will want
to keep reading to see if they can reach across their self-
imposed barriers to find the heart and soul of their mate.
Enjoy!
A sexy
billionaire husband, a Park Avenue penthouse, money to
burn. Elizabeth Wellington had it all, right?
But Reed
was married to his corporation and she spent evenings
alone-with her ovulation charts. Her husband still set her
body on fire, but Reed was keeping secrets, ones serious
enough to rock their life together. Then fate brought them
an unexpected bundle of joy. They finally had the baby
they'd always wanted... but had it arrived soon enough?
