Publisher's summary

Brooke Alexander, a waitress who has self-esteem issues regarding her lackluster existence and her fluctuating weight, is in love with Patrick Sterling, one of the most prominent attorneys in Washington, D.C. On his good days, Patrick is the man in every woman's dream. On his bad days, Patrick's behavior is demeaning, and he is angry at the world.

Damon Johnson, who's been married to Carleigh for four years, is one of "the last good men" - compassionate and honest, he worships the ground his wife walks on. But Carleigh treats Damon like a trophy husband, allowing her friends to salivate over him and disrespect their happy home. Damon has dreams beyond his six-figure corporate job and Carleigh views his life aspirations as a joke. Her selfish nature makes Damon wonder if he made the right decision when he asked for her hand in marriage.

When a tragic event causes Brooke's and Damon's lives to intersect, truths unfold as they begin to reflect on their own relationships.

In this provocative tale of love and heartbreak, Zane explores what happens when you cater to your emotional well-being and discover the meaning of unconditional love - or rather, experience a total eclipse of the heart.

Great listen

I commute to work about a 2hrs a day. I loved listening to this book. This was a very good zane book with a great story line. I really hated to get out of the car everyday. I never when have known this was an interracial couple. I hope that they add some more zane books pretty soon.

More romance; Less erotica

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, I would recommend it but with reservations.

Did Hevin Hanover and Andre Blake do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, but it was weird listening to Andre Blake read the lines of the female characters. Actually, I laughed a couple of times.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No,

Any additional comments?

I agree with the previous reviewers. The twist at the end was so unnecessary. Also, if you're looking for an erotic story, this one isn't it. It's a love story with a few explicitly described sex scenes thrown in. Actually, the sex scenes seemed out of place and as if they were thrown in to meet some erotica requirement.

My First Zane Book

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I liked the book, but the ending felt way too much like an after school special. I feel that the storyline was interesting, but the twist at the end was too preachy. I ended the story mid-dialogue. It was a bit much. Also, the one gay character seemed a bit over the top and stereotypical. His character was more the stereotypical, finger-popping version of a gay man that was popular in early 2000s television, before gay characters became multi-deminsional. Other than that, the book was good. The storyline involving the main characters was was written and performed.

Would you recommend Total Eclipse of the Heart to your friends? Why or why not?

Not really. I don't mind if a story has inerracial love, that's the reality of the times. But the way it was woven in was almost like Zane was trying to educate her readers. I may give Zane another try, but it's not likely.

Crude

I like romance novels, and a lot of them are sexually explicit- I don't have a problem with those. However, this book was downright crude. You can talk about sex without being so nasty.
Also, the plots was only average.
