What if you could only watch as your bright future slipped away from you? Sally Cummings has had it tougher than most but, if nothing else, it's taught her to grab opportunity with both hands. And, when she stands looking into the eyes of her new husband Peter on her perfect wedding day, it seems her life is finally on the up. That is until the car crash that puts her in a coma and throws her entire future into question. In the following months, a small part of Sally's consciousness begins to return, allowing her to listen in on the world around her ? although she has no way to communicate. But Sally was never going to let a little thing like a coma get in the way of her happily ever after ? AUTHOR: Rhoda writes contemporary romantic comedies. As her father's engineering skills were in international demand, Rhoda's childhood was split between the UK, the Pacific island of Yap, Nigeria and Sri Lanka. Rhoda studied at the University of Oxford and holds a DPhil in microbiology. When choosing a pen name, she got nostalgic about the bacteria she used to study, (Rhodobacter species) and named herself Rhoda Baxter after them. Now her day job involves protecting and commercialising Intellectual Property generated by University research. This allows her to stay in touch with cutting edge scientific research without having to spend long hours in the lab. REVIEWS: What a gorgeous heart-felt read! 'Please Release Me' is the first book I have read by Rhoda Baxter, but as soon as I finished it, I immediately ordered a copy of 'Doctor January' to read. Baxter has a brilliant flare with words, and I was swept into Sally, Peter and Grace's story, and didn't want to leave. - Sorcha, Waterstones Bookseller. REVIEWS: "What a gorgeous heart-felt read!

"'Please Release Me' is one of the best books I have read this year! First book by Rhonda Baxter I have read but very definitely not the last." - Susan Wall, reviewer. "I constantly changed my mind about how I wanted the story to end! Thanks goodness, Rhonda Baxter was in charge and not me. I highly recommend 'Please Release Me', and I will look for more from this talented author." - Janet Kinsella, reviewer.
