Jan Solvang has spent her life avoiding conflict and commitment. Six months ago, she left a marriage proposal and a job in Seattle to care for her dying mother. Now she's trapped in California with an inherited dog, working with her estranged father as a memorial event planner. Scriptwriter Roman Keller thrives on conflict. His documentaries reveal the flaws of the famous. Jan’s challenge is to help him write a positive eulogy for a grandfather he despised, but Roman is more interested in her other client: a powerful attorney with a dark past his family wants buried with him. If Jan stands behind the family and Roman goes for the exposé, who wins? The tension between them grows as each discovers the other is keeping secrets. Will the truth destroy their chance at love?

Review:

FADEOUT is an unusual twist on a common profession, giving the reader a different look on  grieving and funerals.  The interplay between Jan and Roman has its highs and lows, with no clue as to what will happen.  Rolynn Anderson develops her characters and relationships beautifully, deftly painting  Jan's interactions with Roman, her dad, Bella, Frank, even the terrier Elwood, to delightful perfection, making this a great reading and a 5 star rating!-InD'Tale Magazine
