Synopsis
Xavier Robert's life seems to be coming together. He's engaged to be married to an incredible woman, Summer Love, and he's an aspiring rapper who recently signed a record deal. When Xavier was diagnosed with testicular cancer, rather than lean on his fiancİe for strength, he called off the wedding, leaving Summer feeling alone and rejected. In an effort to move on with her life, Summer pours her energy into running her company, Spa Nevaeh. Ryan Kennedy, CEO of the record label that signed Xavier, begins to pursue Summer romantically. After learning about Ryan's troubled past, he intrigues Summer, and they begin to date. Once completing medical treatment for his condition, Xavier comes back into Summer's life. When Summer breaks up with Ryan to be with Xavier, Ryan reveals a dark side of himself, which results in deadly consequences.

May 03, 2007: 'Only True Love Waits' opens with Xavier Robert, an aspiring rapper, being diagnosed with testicular cancer. Distressed with the news he was given at the doctor's office, he immediately rushes and breaks his wedding engagement to Summer Love the day before her grand opening of her company, Spa Nevaeh. The story follows Summer, a devout Christian, as she tries to pick up the pieces and move on. At her grand opening, she is pursued by Ryan Kennedy, a CEO of a record label with a dark past. Romance blossoms, but in the meantime, Xavier is going through the last of his treatments and trying to reconcile. Will Summer realize her love for Xavier is still alive and give it second chance? Will Ryan reveal his dark side? The storyline was very good and so was the plot, but the story was too rushed and bounced from scene to scene. Characters are at one place in time and then you turn the page and it's like three weeks later. Then you turn two more pages and you're somewhere else. I would have liked if the author had followed more on Xavier as he battled cancer and going through the treatments alone and all. It would give the readers a better understanding of his character as well as understanding why he did what he did. Summer's character needed to be developed more because I absolutely could not relate to her or her emotions. I felt confused in some of the scenes and unbelieving in others. I think this novel could have been good with a little more time and effort. 'Only True Love Waits' is a promising novel, but in it's current state, I give it 3.5 stars.

February 18, 2007: Now, this book that I just finished reading was a great book. I orginally held back reading it until after Valentine's Day because I thought it was going to be a really mushy love story. (Sorry Dwan) Don't get me wrong, I love the mushy love stories, just wasn't feeling the love! LOL But this book wasn't mushy like I thought. This was Dwan Abrams book titled 'Only True Love Waits'. She had a serious love story going on, yet it dealt with real realtionship issues. Issues that affect many in the world. It's a story of love, realtionships between mates, friends and family. I love how she showed the high moral standards of the main character, Summer. It was constantly bought up throughout the story. She let you see who the people truly are and where they came from. The book started off with a 'bang'! I loved how in the end you found out just how all of her characters were connected. I must say this novel inspired many feelings of love, shock, surprise, hurt and even to some point anger. She used great descriptions when describing their emotions and feelings when things happened to each of the characters in the story! Great work!! Thank You Dwan for sharing your work!!!!!
