RT Rating
Asa Taylor is starting a new job. Because of her diabetes, she must maintain a strict schedule for meals and snacks. During an interview with Zain Darby, she marvels that he understands. Her cousin, employed by the same company, had told her that Zain is a tyrant. Asa soon learns that her interviewer is her new boss business partner, who is leaving for an extended honeymoon.
On her first day of work, Zain doesn’t understand Asa’s insistence that she leave at scheduled times for breaks and lunch. He believes her behavior is symptomatic of substance abuse problems.
Reluctantly his concern for her grows to the point where he attends Al-Anon meetings so he may help her with her problem. Asa assumes he knows of her condition and finds herself falling for the boss that she hates, despite his erratic behavior.
Illusions gives the reader an in-depth look into the life of a diabetic without her illness overpowering the romance. A very well written and captivating story! (Oct., 383 pp., $8.95)
