Book Description
Sisters by choice, Maxine Chandler and Mya Rivers had shared a special friendship since childhood, until time, distance and misunderstanding chilled their relationship. When a class reunion cruise to the Caribbean brings them together again, Max and Mya find that they need each other more than ever. Mya's marriage seems perfect, but she can no longer deny her fears that her all-consuming career has driven her husband into the arms of another woman. Max is still recovering from the tragic loss of her fiance, when a shipboard romance becomes more than just a distraction.

Another Excellent One
19 Jun 2002
Format:Hardcover
Mya and Maxi forged their friendship in grade school. Along the way came Christopher and Mya's love, Garrett. Mya is a finance executive married to the professional athlete Garrett. Maxi is the college professor who was Christopher's only friend during their school years. Because of a secret that Mya chose to keep right after high school graduation, her relationship with Maxi is strained. Feeling like the town pariah, Christopher leaves Savannah vowing never to return. Ten years later, these four adults meet up at their class reunion cruise carrying their issues on board.
Perfect Timing gives you everything that a novel should offer: excellent and surprising storyline, believable and somewhat humorous characters, friendships gone astray, infidelity, misunderstandings.........followed by thoughts of forgiveness coupled with the inability to forgive, redemption, trust and love.
Brenda Jackson is one my favorite romance authors and this is another excellent credit to her ever growing portrayal of the human psyche.

Page Turner!!!
5 Dec 2002
Format:Hardcover
Two words for Perfect Timing...Page Turner! From the first page to the last page I could not put this book down. Ms. Jackson did a wonderful job with the development of all 4 characters, Mya Rivers, Maxie Chandler, Christopher Chandler and Mya's husband, Garrett. Maxie Chandler and Mya Rivers are childhood friends from Savannah, Georgia and they find their friendship tested on all levels of trust, loyalty and love. Ten years later, the friends go on a 7-day cruise for their school reunion and on that trip, old secrets and old feelings are revealed. This story has no place for major perfidy but will certainly keep you turning the pages to see what Christopher Chandler will do next! This is one of the few books that I wish a sequel could be written.

Friends Forever
3 Oct 2002
Format:Hardcover
Mya Rivers and Maxine Chandler have been friends since they were little girls. They were more like sisters than best friends. With the bonds of friendship and love being this strong, one might think that nothing could come between them. Unfortunately, due to a minor misunderstanding, they lose touch with each other and have not spoken in several years. On the surface Maxine Chandler appears to have it all together. She is beautiful and has a job that she loves. Nothing could be further from the truth. She has a lingering health problem that can destroy one of her dreams, and she is still mourning the sudden and tragic loss of her fiancee Jason a few years ago.
Mya Rivers is living her dream. She is married to a man that she has loved for most of her life, has two beautiful children and she has her dream job. However, appearances can be deceiving. On the inside, Mya is conflicted. She feels that her husband may be cheating on her, and to make matters worse there are other struggles within her marriage.
The occasion of their ten year high school reunion presents Mya and Maxine the opportunity to reconnect with each other and old friends. Since the reunion is a seven day cruise, there is nothing but time to strengthen the bonds of friendship.
Perfect Timing by Brenda Jackson is a feel good book. This novel has just the right mix of drama, friendship and romance to keep the pages turning. This is Ms. Jackson's first foray into the mainstream novel arena and I feel that she has succeeded. She tells a great story and holds the interest of the reader from the first page until the last.
