Description from the publisher:

WORDS
Convey a message

Andrea Jordan dreams of acting on Broadway, and she is at the cusp of achieving success.  All her sacrifices start to pay off when she lands a role that will catapult her to stardom.

CAN
Express our thoughts

Award-winning theater critic Bentley Chambers possesses the power to make or break a career.  Theatergoers consider his reviews to be gospel, and actors cringe at the thought of him in the  audience.  His words possess power.

HURT
A heart’s not made of stone

More than one actor has been sent packing after Bentley’s bad reviews, and Andrea could be next.  She won’t stand by and let him shatter her dreams, but she never thought giving him a piece of her mind would also mean giving him a piece of her heart.

Will Andrea discover on her own the passion Bentley claims she lacks, or will he be the one to draw it out of her?

Words… choose them wisely.

***STAND ALONE NOVEL*** INTENDED FOR MATURE READERS***

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



THE CRITIC is a stand-alone contemporary romance for mature readers.



You have to be strong to choose a life on stage.  There will be critics.  The best critics build you up and bring out your best.  They make you better, not bitter.  Sometimes it depends on which voice you hear as you read the words.  Does (s)he intend sarcasm or something constructive?



The emotions are strong and deep.  I am a fan of Andrea on the stage, and more so of Bentley in the paper and in her heart.



As for the author, Joanne Schwehm, anytime you want to write, I want to read!
