Fire In The Water By: Janice Ross


Book Description....

"Chanel Bissett believed in one fundamental truth---the power of love. She's adored and loved Zachary Marlowe long before she knew what life meant. And they've built a bond so strong that it is beyond untouchable.

Or so Chanel thought...

Rhys Colburn has always been privileged, wealthy and demanding. He was ready to spend the rest of his life with Maggie Cohn so that, together, they could conquer the world.

Rhys couldn't have been more wrong...

Consistently appearing at the wrong place and wrong time, Chanel and Rhys' lives begin to clash. Every breath, every word, and every moment is as if the heavens have shifted the earth so that their paths would cross. Whether faith or destiny, they are pushed to emotional boundaries neither can sustain.

Yet, still, hope remains...

Over time, they become stripped of their once known selves. All that's left are shattered pieces of a once upon a time. And after three years with shadows of memories behind, chance pulls them together again.

Finally, love just might emerge. And this time, destiny might be kinder.

Will either take a chance with a stranger or will the past resurface to shatter the possibility?"

"Fire In The Water" by Janice Ross

My Thoughts....

This was quite a interesting novel featuring Chanel Bissett and Rhys Colburn. But was about Zach Marlowe? What had happened with all of the plans that Chanel and Zachary had mapped out for their life together? Now, all of that had started from their childhood, but know almost twenty years later...were things different for Chanel and Zach? This will be some story as Rhys comes into the picture definitely causing a 'fork in the road' for these two. Yes, we will find that Rhys had plenty of issues in his life but was he by himself? How will Chanel's mother try to help her in wanting her to find herself...to truly know herself? Why was that so very important in this read? As you read this story the reader will be presented with many surprises and twist and turns for both of these two main characters...Chanel and Rhys. How long will these feeling go on between Rhys and Chanel before she will be able to see what in right before her eyes? I loved how Rhys decides what he really wanted and goes after it. What will it take for Chanel to take a moment to stop and smell the roses! Will the dreams hopefully leave Chanel after what happens to Zach. It was quite a wow moment for me when it all comes out about Zachary. How does this affect Chanel? Will Chanel get the help she needs? You will get a very emotional story as the reader will see how well the author brings it all out as these two [Chanel and Rhys] lives are intertwined together. So, in the end "Will either take a chance with a stranger or will the past resurface to shatter the possibility?"

I will say that ending left me in tears.. I loved this quote:

"Do you get it! ....You were listening...I saw us in the artist's take on this work. A tag rested just above the canvas: Fire in the Water...The image was a flame refusing to die while moving from one spot to the next - through the journey of life... The struggle of a determined person will never fully die...Sure, there will be trying forces similar to the water. It's life. And though your fire might dwindle along the way, your core will remain strong."

To find out the answers to all of the questions and to understand that ending you will have to pick up this excellent read to see for yourself how well this author presents it so well to the reader.
Would I recommend? YES!
