The American WomanThe American Woman: a story of hope, disappointment and new beginnings
When it’s impossible to forget is it possible to forgive?
Jennifer is stuck doing dead end waitressing jobs, her naïve dream of Hollywood stardom in tatters. Gareth, an IT consultant on a temporary contract, is the unlikely customer at Giulio’s Diner in the downbeat part of Los Angeles where she is now working.
It shouldn’t be a perfect match, the attractive, outgoing waitress from Idaho and the shy, good looker from Wales, but when it comes to relationships nothing is predictable, is it?
They move from state to state and when Gareth’s work in America dries up Jennifer follows him to Britain. Everything changes. What is she supposed to do when she discovers that she’s been fed a pack of lies?
Now living alone in Muswell Hill, Jennifer is a regular at the popular Dream Café with a great job and a lovely set of friends, but it’s impossible to cast aside the wonderful memories of her time together with Gareth.
Were his lies justified? Are they forgivable? And most importantly, should she be giving Gareth the second chance he so desperately wants?
[This is a stand-alone novel in the ‘at the Dream Café’ series]

The American Woman
Written By RJ Gould
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank R.J. Gould and Rachel’s Random Resources for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
The American Woman is the first book that I have read from RJ Gould. I found it a fun and easy read that at times pulled on my heartstrings.
The first thing I noticed with RJ’s writing is how descriptive he was in his storytelling. I loved hearing about Jennifer’s past to see where she is today.
I loved hearing about Jennifer’s big Hollywood plans and the ins and outs of the business.
There were some sad moments where my heart broke for Jennifer!
RJ gave me an education on being English and Welsh! I never knew the difference. Living in Buffalo I loved the USA and Canada’s comparison.
The budding friendship of Jennifer and Gareth made a fun read.
