5.0 out of 5 starsOne Guy you think you are in Love, One guy you know you are in Love, which love will win out?

By V.R.on August 4, 2016

Format: Paperback

I really enjoyed this book by Carol Ann Kauffman. Romance at it's finest! It is hard enough to find the right person for 

you out there, but two? Daisy is a city girl, Chicago, working hard and living her life. Talking to her friend about the 

perfect man, they both giggle. Daisy walked out onto the street to be greeted by a muggar. Daisy took him down 

swinging. All of a sudden a man helps her out and he is that perfect man they were talking about. They fell in love 

with each other on the spot.
Cooper is a person short of being a gangster. He does not kill people, just take them for all they are worth for his 

clients. For some reason, that doesn't bother Daisy at first, but when his life is in danger and she over hears man

talking about the real Cooper and what he does, she leaves.
Daisy is now back in the town she first lived in and has a good job, nice house and is very happy, sort of. One of 

the town men try's to be friends with her just as she gets bad news from Chicago. What Daisy doesn't know, is that 

she is being spied on.
It all comes down to where she has to decide between the city guy or the country guy? 

Which one does she pick? 

Which one would you pick?

What an adorable book! Honestly, this is the first in the Monday Mystery Society I've read, but if this book is any

indication, then I plan to read more. Set in the charming town of Oakville, this charming novella follows Daisy, a girl 

with a good heart and full of drive, She wants a fresh start and a new chance at love, but it just seems that things 

can't help but get in the way. Daisy needs to decide what she wants to risk for love, and what she can overlook to 

find it. She is a well developed character with some interesting love interests and a solid story line. This was a quick,

 enjoyable read, perfect for a relaxing afternoon, or a quick read on the beach. The characters have heart, make 

tough choices, and ultimately find their happy ending, sometimes in a way you didn't see coming! :)

I was gifted a copy. I am choosing to review honestly.

I wanted some light reading this weekend and started to read the novella, A Dilemma for Daisy. I couldn’t put it down.

 It’s a charming story about a young woman seeking Mr. Right. She met the man of her dreams, and he swept her off 

her feet…and then the unexpected happened. I loved the character of Daisy, and the author is well developed and 

believable. I got caught up in this heartfelt love story and had to find out what happens. This was a short read, but 

enjoyable. This book isn’t the first book I’ve read by this author and it won’t be the last. Looking for a good read on

a rainy day, pick up Dilemma for Daisy.

Daisy is warm-hearted and passionate, but she's nobody's fool. She's got a sense of humor, too! While she may be 

willing to risk everything for love, she's got a brain too, and she's not afraid to use it. I loved this story with its twists

 and turns and its satisfying end.

Interview Update with Our Favorite Hawaiian Photographer Jason Bartimus

Hey, Jason! Welcome back to Vision and Verse. What has our favorite Hawaiian photographer  been up to lately?

I have been working slowly through a few different projects.  I have realized that my process is best when I work slowly.  Everything in me wants to do everything as fast as possible but there is always the problem of it becoming a chore. 

 I have created a few projects that have been keeping me consistent with my work, and can get me out there every weekend.  

Where do you find your inspiration? 

I am continuing to learn that inspiration is found in our limitations.  Limitations can cause some of us to find resourceful ways to make a photograph. I have had to settle with the fact that traveling isn't going to happen very often for me and all I have to work with my backyard..Hawaii. Ok, you may laugh and say that I don't have it 

that hard and that this isn't a real limitation.  

However consider the fact that I have seen Oahu for 21 years and there is only so many times I can go to this beach or that hike.  Having said that I have embraced the joy of going to locations that countless others have photographed and challenging myself to create something unique.  I can’t say I always succeed but the challenge has become my inspiration.    

I have also had to come to come to grips with the fact that I won't be going on dangerous excursions to get to infrequently explored areas.  So what I am left with is the challenge of visiting high traffic photography spots and still being able to create something inspiring.  Even after I have been to the same location countless times!


Did you always see yourself as a creative individual? 

No. In fact I have always felt, that I am not creative.  Creativity implies that I have an idea...and I rarely ever have an idea for a photo. I have always thought that a truly creative person knows exactly what they want or at least good idea before they even start a project. 

 I go to a location with a blank slate, frame my shot with my favorite exposure settings and make sure I get what I need to get in focus. Even at this point the only components I am looking for are light and composition. 

Even after importing the photos I still have no idea what I want for a final product.  I cull through my raw material, find a shot that I like, and begin to edit.  As I start to edit, this is where my creative process starts to kick in. 

 Each photo will speak differently to me. I will see parts of the photo and begin to envision what I want them to look like.  It is a very fluid, slow, and free flowing process. So I have never felt creative because my creative process doesn't begin until much later in my workflow and not at the beginning.  I never start with intent, but I work through my process until discover the intent. So I had to find what being creative meant for me.

Thank you so much for stopping by and giving us an update on what you're doing. Come back anytime! Hugs.
