She will soon find out that she waited just the right amount of time, however, when an invitation arrives informing her of her upcoming five year high school class reunion.

From the Author:
As an author, you need to get inside a character's head to make them real and have the story be believable. In romance novels, you must get inside someone's heart as well and be able to intimately express what the character is feeling. For a male author, this can be challenging when your protagonist is female.For me, I've written a number of nonfiction books, co-authored predominantly with females. This has given me a unique perspective in understanding how a woman relates to a topic and how differently they externalize their experiences compared with that of a man. In Reunion of Souls, I drew from my previous writing projects in which I collaborated with women in order to tell the story of a young women who does not want to let the festering love she has for a former high school classmate wither on the vine without giving it a chance to grow into something beautiful and lasting.It was surprising to me how natural it was to write for woman. I found that the emotions of love and how they are felt are the same for both men and women, but how they are expressed is where the difference lies. It is no small distinction, but the gap is easily traversable.
From the Inside Flap:
Jodi and Nick's chance for romance was never realized while they were in high school. Now, five years later, they meet again. Will a class reunion be their first and last chance at love? Paul Lonardo pens a sweet, contemporary romance about risking it all for love in Reunion of Souls.
