Ex-Ray: Book Two of the Until Ray Trilogy by Cheryl Robinson


Book Description....

"In this journey into second-chance love, author Cheryl Robinson invites us to ponder whether we would rekindle a romance with someone who had broken a promise to forsake all others. 

Meet Ray and Sarita Saint. In 1987, they pledged to love, honor, and cherish each other until death. When Ray goes missing a year later, Sarita wonders whether he’s dead or alive. While she was dreaming of their happily ever after, Ray was exploring greener pastures, a new relationship. Sarita—a virgin until marriage—took her vows seriously and believed Ray did, too. Instead, he left their marriage and their life in Detroit to reinvent himself. Sarita always held out hope that he would return one day. And he does. It’s twenty-seven years later, and Ray is determined to find his one true love. What he discovers has him question everything he thought he knew about Sarita, as well as himself.:

"Ex-Ray" by Cheryl Robinson

My Thoughts.....

I loved how this author starts out this second trilogy telling the reader what had gone on the the first book 'Until Ray.'  However, I would highly suggest if you haven't read the first novel in the trilogy please do so to be able to get it all from a story that continues on.

Now how can I tell you about this story without telling too much.   Well, all I can say is what will Ray find out after some twenty seven years that will really let him know just how big of a fool he had been leaving Sarita.  From just that we see Ray wanting to make some drastic changes in his life.  So, what will that be?

For Sarita her life has really been dealt with some many changes.  After her husband had left her,  what had happen in Sarita's life to give her some happiness in her life?  After some twenty seven years had she married and if so who would it be?  How and why will this Dr. Lex, Graham and Boone become so important in Sarita life? 

What happens when Ray comes back to Detroit and looks for Sarita?  Will his psychiatrist be able to help him? What surprises will Ray find out about Sarita from Miss King.  What will Ray do when he finally sees Sarita?    Will Sarita come running back into his arms and they live happily ever after?

Well, there are a lots of questions that will be answered and so much more will be learned from this novel "Ex Ray" but to get all these answers you will have to  pick up this well written story to find out just what they are.  I don't want to spoil it for you.  At the ending of the story there is a little cliffhanger but again you will have to pick up this read and see for yourself what that was.

Overall, I found 'Ex-Ray' a well written story that touch on many subjects...marriage, separation, infidelity, adultery,  secrets, lies and love even though it was in a strange way.  For all that Ray had done to Sarita what kept me going was that I know karma will come and hopefully it will not be too late for him if it is truly for him to get Sarita back after all these years of separation.  For Sarita I felt so sorry for her in all that she was going through.  Has she learned anything from all that had happened to her in the past twenty some years?  If anything ..if Raymond left her once could he be trusted not to leave her again?!

Well,  the readers will hopefully get a well deserved answer to this situation between these two main characters in the last if the  'Until Ray Trilogy.'  I look forward to its ending!
