Publisher Description
Shelly is a disciplined, schedule-loving attorney who has written an internationally beloved romance novel based on an affair she had in the 1990s, her early twenties, with sexy, nomadic, professional surfer, Jason Mattis, whom she only saw once a year for five years in a row.
When Jason shows up at her book signing in 2019, she must come to terms with the fact that their chemistry is still as hot as it was thirty years ago. Before they can explore any rekindling, Jason gets a phone call that pulls Shelly into a part of his life that was previously unknown to her, involving an oil heiress, a Central American gangster and his menopausal wife, an antique crucifix, a group of women who are kindred spirits, and the undeniable attraction to Jason after all those years.
The Perpetual will make you believe in second chances at love, female friendship bonds, untapped personal strength, and feeling sexy at any age.
Customer Reviews
“He was pure love.”
I love the idea of a second chance at romance and if any couple were meant to be together, it was Shelly and Jason. My favorite parts of the book were the flashbacks to when they first met in California, and thirty years later, when Jason surprised Shelly when she was doing a book signing at a Barnes & Noble in Vancouver.
Shelly was a young law student attending a surfing event when she met Jason, a handsome and popular surfer who swept her off her feet and changed her life forever. Shelly fell for Jason’s hypnotic blue eyes, his mesmerizing presence and larger than life personality. They were inseparable that first summer, but Jason would never really be hers. Shelly opened her heart and house to him for the next four summers, then suddenly their romantic interludes were over. All she had left were her memories of a carefree time when anything was possible except a life with the man who would remain forever in her heart.
Shelly had led a full life since then, working and taking care of her family but every so often, thoughts of Jason made her wistful for a time that meant everything to her. Their summer romance was magical, and sometimes it felt like a dream she never wanted to wake up from. All these years later she wondered why Jason would seek her out and what did it mean for them going forward? Shelly and Jason’s love was still strong thirty years later and I hoped that this time, they would get their happily ever after.
