Book Review/s to share: Soul in His Eyes by Christine London Kindle Edition - Mar 31, 2008 4 1/2 Stars
What if you wrote a letter to a famous person and the letter actually reached that person? What if the letter sparked a friendship that transcended distance? What if that friendship turned into something more? Christine London's Soul in the Eyes explores, in a sweet, touching, feel-good way, these "ifs".
Christine Rose lives a happy life. She has two children, a husband that loves her and a fulfilling teaching job. Moved by a force that she can't explain, she writes a letter to famous actor Erik Bartholomew.
To the world, Erik lives a perfect famous life: success, money and adoring fans. But in his private life, he's lonely and disconnected. When he received Christine's letter, he immediately feels a connection towards her words and pictures.
A letter exchange between the two sparks a friendship and feelings that neither expected. Suddenly Christine's life takes a tragic turn. Through the friendship vine, Erik learns of this, but he's stuck in Iceland making a movie. The race to get to Christine begins, but what will happen when he reaches her? Here is where the fantasy begins.
Christine London writes a sweet story of following the heart. She encourages, through her characters, a leap of faith even when it looks too-good-to-be-true. Christine and Erik are strong and self-assured, and together find the trust needed to open the door of friendship and love. In addition, she gives each character strong, supportive friends that take on the super-role of rescuers when needed.
This book left me with the feeling that anything is possible if you just take a chance. It's a message that inspires action, because you just never know what may happen "if".

I've just read "Soul in His Eyes" by Christine London and I was relishing every page, it's a fantasy that every admirer of a gorgeous Scottish Movie Star would love to have, that's why I just LOVED this book!! Ms London gave me a wonderful insight into the Hollywood scene, and also the hero reminded me of a very HOT Scottish actor making movies in Hollywood now, there are many things that are similiar, and the read is just a wonderful dream. I was smiling with each Chapter that I read, as I imagined that the heroine of the book was me. I highly recommend that you buy "Soul in His Eyes" as it's a wonderful read. I hated to finish reading Ms. London's story and I KNOW that I will be reading it again. If you want to know who the Scottish actor reminds you of, buy the book and read it, you won't be disappointed at all!!
Sincerely, Deborah Porter
