Lighthouse Literary Reviews:

CJ McAllister is torn between two loves.  The husband that could be lost to her forever and the man who has ignited a passion inside her  like she's never known. She has an emotionally exhausting sister and parents that were killed suddenly in an automobile accident.  But through it all, she remains positive and upbeat.

Tom Dellarico never thought he would find love again after the death of his wife, but a sudden need to rent a car while on a business trip brings him right to CJ. The two are a sweet pair.  Both have a deep sense of caring and helpfulness.

Author Shar Mason has a knack for showing true emotions of love and devotion.  With so many modern day tales, I love that this book is set in the eighties. The references to dated clothing and jewelry were a great reminder of that era, but the abrupt ending left me empty and wanting more. Is there a sequel? I hope so because Tom and CJ are just too cute not to have a future together.

Double Devotion is double the love!, December 11, 2005
Reviewer: love2read  (California)
Double Devotion pulls at your heart-strings without being sappy. This is a sincere love story with characters that read like real people, not stereotyped romance novel types. Especially loved the fresh quips between characters. The love scenes were seductive and tasteful, not too raw and predictable as with some romance novels. Life in the 80s and local geographical areas were well researched and articulately detailed. Looking forward to the sequel to bring us up-to-date on the characters in the 2000s! More, Shar, more!


 Much more then just a romance novel, November 27, 2005
Reviewer: Winds aloft (Los Angeles Ca.)
What I enjoyed most about this book was Shar E.'s style. She let me see right into the minds of her characters.  Her writing is so detailed, her description of Northern California, for example, made me feel I had just been there.  I read a lot, but this story is fresh, different. This is not just a romance novel, it is so much more. I am a guy, and I love her style of writing. I look forward to more books from Shar E. Mason.  Double Devotion is good reading, and I highly recommend it.
