High-powered real estate tycoon Jiraiya Sampson was once vibrant, healthy and full of life. Surrounded by celebrities, rock stars and the movers and shakers of business, he was always in pursuit of the next big business deal. That is until a potentially terminal illness struck; forcing him to slow down and reflect on the things that are truly important. Along comes Karine, a kind-hearted private nurse who has had a troubled past in her relationships with men. As his caregiver, Karine prays for a cure. As a woman, she yearns for more than the nurse/patient relationship. What happens when the caregiver and the patient find themselves crossing the line into a deeper relationship? Will time be on Jiraiya's and Karine's side? Or will tomorrow be goodbye?

Goodbye to Tomorrow

1.5 stars. 

This is my second attempt at this author and it will be the last. The first one was worse than this, but there is not much improvement here.

Goodbye To Tomorrow is supposed to be a romance between Jiraiya and Karine, but at least half of it is about him obsessing over his pale and lovely ex Gracen, and a couple of earlier chapters seemed like two different versions of the same portion of the narrative. Then, later on in the book, when Jiraiya realises that he has fallen in love with Karine, he still manages to have sex with her and call her by the ex's name. Twice.

These are just a couple of the issues I have with this book and that doesn't touch upon how stilted some of the dialogue is and the grammatical issues.
