Synopsis: Shelby is a stunning beauty, a young mother whose husband, a Hollywood stuntman, runs off with a rich glamorous older woman. On her own, Shelby is raising 8-year old Pamela and goes to work to make ends meet. She is naive, unaware of her luminous beauty and easy-going charms neither of which goes unnoticed by men, even a world famous novelist who sets his eyes on her. She meets an irresistibly handsome and successful attorney who instantly takes up residence under her skin. Her topsy-turvy world is grounded by motherhood. Into this curious limbo where all that is required of Shelby is not to do anything she would regret, enters Marc, a successful screenwriter and former family friend who, with his final divorce decree in hand comes calling. Because of Shelby, the lives of the three men intersect and interact in surprising ways as their just comeuppance is served. Where is the love? Who is the future?
Critique: Another terrific romance novel from the pen of Katherine Mitchell who again demonstrates her impressive mastery of the genre. A deftly crafted and fully entertaining read from beginning to end, “Shelby’s Way…Maybe: Listen to Your Heart and Find Your Way” is very highly recommended for community library Contemporary Romance Fiction collections. For personal reading lists it should be noted that “Shelby’s Way…Maybe” is also available in a Kindle edition ($4.99).
