Guest Post –?The Love Triangle

Have you ever been in a situation where you were dating or even engaged to someone you’d been with for so long that family and friends had come to expect you to get married? Perhaps you or your love interest had also fallen under the comforting spell of routine…and maybe you truly cared for them…and had mistaken it for true love. Change and leaps of faith are scary. What if it turned out that person wasn’t your soul mate? What if you went ahead and married them? What if someone with whom you discovered a soul-deep connection came along but you weren’t free to give your heart to them? Timing can make such a difference in life. It reminds me of a Reba McEntire song, One Promise Too Late, where one of the lines says “Where were you when I could have loved you?”.

Let me throw another wrench into the situation. What if your soul mate is the best friend and cousin of the ‘girl-next-door’ who you’ve know all your life and care about deeply? Three best friends and an impossible love triangle where no one is willing to cause pain, but everyone is suffering inside. That’s the situation Haki, Maddie and Pippa find themselves in in Every Serengeti Sunrise. Readers met all three when they were children in the first three books in the series and I promised, as requested, to bring them back as adults so that they could find their own happily ever afters. But you didn’t expect me to make it easy, did you (insert evil laughter).

What would you do in a similar situation? Have you been in one where true love and timing were all out of sync? For those of you who know Haki, Maddie and Pippa from the series, who would you want to see him with? Are you team Maddie or team Pippa?
