Looks by Tara Taylor Quinn
There’s an old cliché about beauty only being skin deep. They say that clichés become clichés because of the truth they speak. The problem is that once it becomes cliché we tend to pass right by it. Blasé. Been there done that.
And yet…
Our society, and most particular we women, still have this elemental need to look good. To feel good about how we look. As though somehow our self-worth, at least in part, is somewhat dependent upon how we look. I’m one to talk. I work at home, spend most of my time alone, and I still, every morning, put make up on before I leave my bedroom. Even when I’m wearing sweats to go work out. I do this because if I feel put together, I accomplish more. But…why?
In Her Secret Life, Kacey and Michael had some things to tell me about looking good. I don’t know that any of us came up with any answers as to why our looks effect how we feel – is it just societal, or is it more than that, a sense of knowing that if we do our best to take care of ourselves, we perform better? But what helped me was to know that when the chips are down, surface beauty really is only skin deep. And that what is underneath is what we need, what turn to and what we draw from, even within ourselves, when challenges face us.
On the surface, this is a soap opera star meets scarred computer geek story. Inside, it’s so much more than that. Kacey and Michael have pieces of me in them. I hope they join your circle of friends, too.

I have read Tara’s books for years. Her Shelter Valley series was one of the best series I have ever read (I am 72 so have read a lot). I try to read every book she writes.

Robbie,
It’s so good to see you out here! I’m honored that you’ve remained with me through the years! I’m actually toying with the idea of re-visiting Shelter Valley!
Emily Endrizzi
This sounds like another fantastic book from Tara. The cover is beautiful as usual.
Tara Taylor Quinn
Emily, Thank you for stopping by! I love the cover as well – my publisher gets all the credit for that!
Linda Henderson
I like the cover and enjoyed the blurb too. I haven’t read this series yet but I’ve added it to my list.
Tara Taylor Quinn
Linda,
I hope you’ll give the series a try!! Most of the books stand completely alone as residents come and go all the time. This one, though is a direct sequel to His First Choice which was out last May.
Laura
Sounds like a wonderful book! Thank you for sharing!
