Rhonda Jackson Joseph takes something as simple as seizing the moment and weaves a sweet contemporary romantic short in The Act. The short story is about Melanie, a widow, single mother and cafe owner who is tired of the matchmaking antics of her daughters as a wedding is near for one of them. Their worry about her being alone as they pursue their own families yields a flurry of unsuitable matches not realizing Melanie’s content with singlehood. Melanie decides to adjust the girls’ focus when she brings a handsome Tyson Brown, a cafe regular, to her daughter’s house for dinner. Ty who’s been in love with Melanie for sometime takes the opportunity to not only declare his love but capture her heart in the short but warm tale.

The Act is a quick and enjoyable read. Joseph’s writing style leads you to embrace the Melanie and Tyson right away. You want to see them together before you’ve really had a chance to get to know them. The Act earns 4/5 Sable Seals.
