A SPECIAL REVIEW RECEIVED FROM A READER IN CHICAGO:

More, more, more!!!!!! I just finished reading One Last Time... WOW! I am from the Chicago area and related to this book on many levels. I lost my mom to lupus on July 1st. She left me behind, my 2 sisters and our children. I have been searching ever since for comfort and reassurance she is still with me.

Coincidentally, my husband booked just the two of us on a Caribbean cruise for this Spring. He hoped it would lift my spirits a bit. This booked took me away...transported me. It was filled with humor that I could relate to, making it so enjoyable.

The characters could not have been better written, the exotic locations not better described. However, most of all thank you for such a beautiful story of strength and courage intertwined with an outlook I so desperately was seeking. I now will look at the "little clues and signs" differently... with belief and reassurance I have not been left behind.

You are truly talented and cannot wait to read more. I BEG you to continue a story with Jack and Jenna!!!! Does she go off to Barbados... maybe he whisks her away after the wedding? I have to know!!!! What happens to Alana, Todd and Matt!!!??? They have to be mentioned somewhere in there too!!

I must go for now, I am off to read The Best Man... Oppps... gotta run... final boarding call! I can't wait to "board" this book... off to Hawaii! Aloha!

Best wishes, support and thanks,

ANOTHER LETTER RECEIVED AFTER READER WAS SENT A NOTE:

Dear Alisa,
Thank you so much for your reply!!!! You are so welcome, I meant every word. I just finished both The Best Man and Angel Mist... FABULOUS!!!!!

You have a real talent that you use wonderfully! These stories are all so different, yet all have the ability to transport me to another place. I find myself letting myself go... truly... while reading these stories. I have enjoyed your books more than any others I have read... and I read a lot! The characters personalities are so true to life and each unique. You have a wonderful gift in making them connect with the reader.

I find myself starting to freak out as I am nearing the end of the collection that is out right now!!! MORE PLEASE... MORE!

I have ordered the rest of your books that my book club did not have, and I have e-mailed them to insist they get the entire collection! I am waiting for: Winds of Change, After Midnight, Beyond The Horizon.

I am anxiously awaiting my next "experience"! Can't wait to see who I meet, what they will be like and of course, the location! I can feel the balmy breeze gently against my face now....

You may use any of my comments or statements word for word, thank you for that honor! If you want to post my name, that is fine, or if I can help in any way to "get the word out", please let me know. I would be thrilled to see you get the credit you deserve.
Thank you for your magic!

ISBN#: 0-9761480-0-5

Cruise to Bermuda with a young woman

Rekindle a past?... Or set it free?

Some Reviews:

Winds Of Change was a beautiful story. It made me want to travel to the coast as I laughed, cried and cheered at the evolvement of the characters.
Submitted by: L.B. - Caledonia, Ontario, Canada

Very well written, the characters dialogue moved me along, the way writing is supposed to be done but is done very little in other books. This book was master at it and I want to go to Bermuda now.
Submitted by: K.I. - Florida

Really, really enjoyed it. A story that kept me reading until the very last page.
Submitted by: L.L. - Tennessee

AFTER MIDNIGHT
ISBN#: 0-9761480-1-3

Cruise to the Mexican Riviera and the Canada/New England coast as two people marry sight unseen and clash in a blaze of differences.

Some Reviews:

A different storyline, one I'd never seen before, which made for a great read. Like the first, this too was unpredictable and I couldn't wait to get to the next page. Submitted by: W.R. - FL

To keep a reader wondering what's going to happen till the very last page is a talent! It makes for a great read all the way till the end. Submitted by: J.B. - New York

As with the last book, I fell in love with these characters too. I came to know these people and didn't want it to end. After I finished, I still thought about them. Submitted by: A.N. - Virginia

THE BEST MAN
ISBN#: 0-9761480-2-1

Cruise to Hawaiian Island paradise with a woman caught up in a tailspin of revenge after a failed wedding attempt, and finds herself in the middle of a bond that could not be broken.

Some Reviews:

This was my favorite so far, they just keep getting better. Submitted by: K.W. - Maryland

Per Alisa Allan's usual style, it was unpredictable and kept my fingers on every page edge, waiting to turn. Submitted by: T.E. - North Carolina

The Hawaiian islands was a wonderful scene for this honeymoon gone haywire. I laughed as I pictured this woman in my mind running like a crazed woman through Vegas and then Hawaii looking to drag someone along. And I love the way she doesn't use or need graphic bed scenes to describe what's going on. Submitted by: A.T. - Minnesota

BEYOND THE HORIZON
ISBN#: 0-9761480-3-X

Cruise to the Western Caribbean with three friends who are taken away by balmy tropical breezes and become vulnerable to its magic, then discover a web of lies and deceit underneath its beauty.

Some Reviews:

I've been where Maggie, the main character, has been, and so have my friends. It made reading this book that much better. The author's characters failed to disappoint me and just like her other books I felt as though they were my friends too. Submitted by: K.R. - California

Her surprises when you get towards the end never fail to amuse and make me aggravated at the same time. Just when I think things are coming to a close they unexpectedly don't. Submitted by: A.S. - Nevada

Such a fun read. I shared it with my own girlfriends. Submitted by: D.W. - Delaware

ONE LAST TIME
ISBN#: 0-9761480-4-8

Cruise to the Caribbean as a woman takes her son on a journey of adventure to escape her painful reality. But she must return to face that reality and risk all she'd found to face it alone.

Some Reviews:

A couple of shockers came up and forced me to hang on. Sat down and read in two sessions, only put it down because of work. Submitted by: L.C. - Seattle

The grandmother character in this was a hoot. I find in all your books I love the secondary characters as well as the leads. Submitted by: M.B. - Virginia

6 books in 6 months and I expected cookie cutter stuff. But each one is different and leaves me in suspense every time because I know there's going to be a twist. I try to prepare myself but I never am. Please... please... please... come out with more. Submitted by: J.W. - Maryland

ANGEL MIST
ISBN#: 0-9761480-5-6

Cruise to Alaska as a young woman discovers calm to the haunts of her past, but finds she would truly have to go home again before she could find real peace in her heart.

Some Reviews:

This book should come with a few boxes of tissue. I passed it on to a few friends who are now avid fans but they're going to have to go out and get their own set. I won't part with mine.
Submitted by: L.B. - Canada

I didn't want to start this book because I knew it would be my last and I wanted to savor it, knowing I wouldn't have another Alisa Allan to read. All of her stories have taken me through the summer and I've read every one with anticipation. I discovered after reading the first three they were anything but predictable. Thank you so much for filling my summer and I'll cross my fingers but I know I'm aiming high to think that you'll have six more so soon. Who knows, you do seem full of surprises, we can only hope. Submitted by: A.O. - Mississippi

I was on the beach reading and was grateful for my sunglasses when the tears came. I'm not a reader who cries often but this one got me. Loved each book!
