Reader Reviews
A Wonderful Debut Novel
“I don't know how she did it, but Terri hit a homerun with her first novel. I'm really not very knowledgeable about genetics so when I began reading about Alex, a genetics researcher and Madison, a pharmacist consultant, I almost couldn't get into it. But the work revolved around preventing breast cancer and the ethical implications and controversies surrounding the gene question. Now what woman can't re!ate to that?
Alex was such a deep, conflicted character. It would certainly take a lot of time and patience for the warm and outgoing Madison to truly get to know and understand her, but their personal journeys were well worth that patience. The way the story was written really pulled me into their struggles to "wholly" be together. No matter who you love, that struggle to find the right person is universal.
The secondary characters were rich and the suspense twist in the story was perfect. The writing flowed easily and the dialogue appeared so sincere, whether it be heartwarming, fun and conversational or if it provoked discomfort and soul searching. The intimate scenes were beautiful and the title is a perfect example of the journey between Alex and Madison. I really enjoyed the book and look forward to many more from this talented new author!”
I’m Ready for the Sequel!
“A romance that intertwines the ethical and social implications of gene therapy, the book is multilayered and intriguing. It is a witty, smart book with unexpected twists and turns that make for a compelling read. I fell in love with the characters and didn't want the book to end.”
A True Modern Day Love Story and Mystery
“Breakthrough easily blends science, mystery and love to create a spellbound story. Love it and recommend it to all searching for in intelligent love story for the modern age.”
Wow, Wow, Wow!
“I am absolutely in love with everything about this book. From the danger to the love that both Alex and Maddie have for each other. I loved the flirting and the subtle hints at their shared likeness towards each other. I definitely would read this book again! Great job and I can’t wait to see what else the author has to offer!”
