BOOK SPOTLIGHT/ EXCERPT: The Color Pink by Parker Paige




The Color Pink

The Blurb

Can wearing the color pink attract true love? 

That is the question Summer Jones intends to answer.

In her early thirties, Summer Jones thought that she had found the perfect man, the man she planned to marry until she learned that he still had feelings for his first love. Now, at age thirty-five, Summer is ready to fall in love again. After she hears that wearing the color pink can attract true love, she sets out to do just that--and attracts more than just true love. 

Follow Summer as she journeys into the world of color magic and find out how she uses that magic to help her choose between one man from her past and another man who is destined to become her future.

This romantic drama serves up something fun and sexy, proving that the road to love can be paved with many painful lessons and memorable moments. It’s a story about paying attention to your past so that you don’t always have to repeat it.

“And you will too. You just have to have faith.” Sarah Jane leans back in her chair. ““Do you ever hear from him?” “
“Who?”  “
“Who do you think? John?” “
“No, and I don’t expect to either.”  “
“Who are you kidding? You know you’re hoping that the two of you will get back together.” 
““Get back together? With him? I might be crazy, but I’m not insane.”  Though there may be a tad bit of truth to what Sarah Jane suggests, my reunion with John is definitely not something I am banking on.  
Sarah Jane begins scanning through her iPhone. ““I have to find someone for you to have sex with.” 
My mouth drops open. ““Excuse me?”
