The Invincible Sisterhood, widows who lost a great love in their lives have got together to make a pact, and prove that they will not let their loss dominate their lives. Full figured Traci Evans, a reluctant guest, is invited to one of their sacred meetings and suddenly finds herself signing up and swearing to secrecy.
Although, Traci doesn't want to be tied down, when she meets Ryan Gilmore, her best friend's son, she finds him hard to resist. Somehow she always ends up spending time with him, even though an inner voice keeps warning her that's he'll end up cheating on her, just like her late husband did. Yes, unlike the other members of the women's group, her relationship was not one of everlasting love; something she discovered after he died but felt too ashamed to admit. This whole situation made Traci feel like even more of a fraud during the Invincible Sisterhood meetings, but these were strong ladies who would not take no for an answer.
It wasn't long before Ryan had enlisted Traci to help plan his mum, Maureen's birthday party. After a few meetings Traci gets annoyed with the fact that Ryan is using her only to help plan his mother's party, and wants nothing more from her than her mind. Justifying this to herself, Traci feels that at least she will now avoid an awkward and complicated relationship that would no doubt end in heartache and tears. Would Traci ever be able to stop living in the past? All she has to do is open her eyes and arms to love again. But, as in all good stories, there is plenty of conflict to get in the way. One of which appears in the form of Ryan's ex girlfriend.
This is a terrific story, as always, from author Francis Ray. The plot that revolves around the two lovers, Traci and Ryan makes it a page turner in itself, but we also have the added story of Maureen and her new man, Simon Dunlap, and how they take a chance on a shy and insecure boy called Jason, who could be more trouble than he is worth. A delightful tale of complex, believable characters learning to get along with each other despite their differences, and the problems that life can throw at them.

The first thing I noticed about the cover of NOT EVEN IF YOU BEGGED was that the cover model was full-figured like the lead character, Traci Evans. I literally pumped my fist. There is nothing wrong with being a healthy, full-figured woman. You can strut your stuff with the best of them and match intelligence with anyone. You rock! But unfortunately, some narrow-minded people see your voluptuous body and lose brain cells.
Traci has trust issues. Her husband died cheating on her. Since then she doesn't care if a man begged - the answer is still no. She has no intention of letting another man make a fool out of her - but that was before she was seduced by a hot sensuous kiss.
A man doesn't have to beg Traci's older friend, Maureen Gilmore, an attractive 59 year-old widow who misses the intimacy and the connection with a man. She thinks she might have found the perfect candidate - until she discovers he is ten years younger and then the unthinkable happens - she starts having hot flashes.
I thought about these women a great deal as I wrote NOT EVEN IF YOU BEGGED. I admired their courage in the face of adversity, the way they stood shoulder to shoulder, the way they told each other the truth even when the other one didn't want to listen. True friends.
I invite you to pick up your copy of NOT EVEN IF YOU BEGGED when it goes on sale January 22, 2008 and meet Traci and Maureen - two friends - two dilemmas - one novel.
Best,
Francis
