Summary: Hated the cover
Comment: I was interested by the story line, that of the characters having a child (unknown to the father) together... how would he find out, how would the son take the news, etc. I hesitated to buy the book because the cover is too racy (the story isn't). I like romance but not 'explicit sex'. Couldn't read the book at work, couldn't read in front of my husband or children because of the sleazy cover. I really enjoyed the story, though, the only weak spot was the son's reaction; too non chalant for my tastes.

Summary: Unfinished Business
Comment: Rendezvous With Fate, by Jeanne Sumerix
When Leela Taylor goes back to College 19 years later to finish her education she has no idea that she will run smack into her past. Leela's mom has recently died of cancer, her heartbroken dad has committed suicide. Leela is devastated and throughly shaken by these two tragic events but realizes that she must stay focused for her teenaged son Alex.
As Leela and her best friend Jan take the only remaining seats in the classroom she finds herself looking into blue eyes which are the image of her sons eyes. Her professor is none other than her old love Jack, who is Alex's father. Leela is shaken but no more so than Professor John 'Jack' Whitman. As seconds pass they are both sent reeling back to their last angry parting scene.
In the late 70's college students Leela Taylor and Jack fall in love. Jack wants Leela to move in with him, then get married after his graduation. But Leela has plans to leave school and work in Washington, DC. where she hopes to make a positive change in the world. She goes to Jack to tell him this, instead they end up making love the whole week end. When Leela does make her announcement Jack is furious. They both say hurtful things and angrily part. When Leela finds that she is pregnant she can't locate Jack to tell him. She never knew his last name. She realizes that the only thing she really knew about Jack was that she had loved him. Now, Leela can't belive that Jack is back in her life. Her first thought is to keep him from knowing about their son. She goes through great lengths to keep the two apart. But when Jack sees a picture of Alex in Leela's wallet, he becomes determined to be a part of his son's life.
There are other key characters in this novel. Jack's best friend, Leela's best friend, but the pivotal character is Alex, the pair's son who is well adjusted, loves his mother dearly and seems comfortable in his skin.
Author Jeanne Sumerix is such a good story teller, that this is a interracial couple, he's White, she's Black, seems almost incidental to the story.

Summary: Ever Lasting Love
Comment: There are no time limits on love. Rendezvous With Fate by Jeanne
Sumerix attests to the fact that true love never dies nor does it
go away.
Leela and Jack had a wonderful love affair while attending college.
Jack felt they were destined to be married and live happily ever
after. Leela wasn't ready to settle down, she felt there was much
to see, much to change, and much to experience.
She decided that leaving college and moving to Washington, D.C.
along with some other college friends would be an opportunity
for her to help make a change in the world. When Leela adamantly
makes her decision, Jack is hurt and heart-broken. He says some
ugly things to Leela, which makes her decision to leave the
right one. While in D.C., Leela learns she is pregnant and
returns to tell Jack the news. Leela finds out that he has
left college and with another woman.
Eighteen years later, both have gone on with their lives and
careers. Leela decides to go back to college to finish her
degree, only to learn that one of her professors is Jack.
They are suddenly confronted with their past and Leela and
Jack realize that they never got over their feelings for each
other. They have much to consider in the days ahead, as Jack
learns that he has a son named Alex by Leela.
Ms. Sumerix's Rendezvous With Fate is a nice story revolving
around two people consciously in love with each other but afraid
to confront that love collectively. Although they will
experience much hurt, drama, and disappointment, their desire
for each other never ends. Will they be able to withstand the
ongoing trials and tribulations that will confront their
daily lives to achieve that special feeling again? Will their
love truly withstand the sands of time? You will have to read
it to find out. I give this book a rating of 3.
