The Need For Creativity
When I struggle with my own creativity, I read. My hope is that others creativity will launch my own and to be honest, it is nice to escape into stories told by others. While my sister-in-law and one of my daughters enjoy Audible for their listening, I prefer holding the actual book or leveraging one of my e-readers. Regardless of the method, a well written story provides the means for me to escape and enjoy creativity by others.
Author, Marina Adair
I just finished a book by Marina Adair, another new author for me. The book was RomeAntically Challenged. It takes place in Rome, RI. Having a daughter who lives in RI and another who is pursuing her NP so I could relate to the protagonist Annie (although she’s a PA).
After a tough break-up, Annie takes a job in Rome. She thought it was Rome Italy and NOT Rome, RI which is a huge disappointment. Once in her rental unit, she’s faced with an unwanted male intruder who turns out to be the owner, Emmitt, a famous photographer/journalist.
It was a light, easy read and I found myself smiling periodically as I moved through the book. The characters are well developed and provide drama along with some chuckles. Especially macho Emmitt and his teenage daughter who is attempting to spread her wings.
I look forward to reading more of her work such as Hopeless Romantic, the Sugar Georgia series, and many others. I love finding new authors because it equals more to read.
