♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
How many times do you gamble on love? When love has knocked you down, should you give it another chance? When does optimism become stupidity?
And what happens when the man you’re in love with is never still, always moving, always traveling? Do you say goodbye, or do you leave behind everything that you’ve worked for, everything that you’ve ever known? Can a traveling carnival be my home?
Oh. You thought I had the answers. No, sorry. No answers, just a lot of questions—and a heart that wants to rule my head.
Can one person be my home?
Excerpt
I saw the Ferris wheel first, lit up in the twilight, the simple white lights making the huge steel structure seem almost ethereal. Without conscious thought, I touched the necklace that I never took off, my fingers stroking the tiny Ferris wheel set with a diamond at the center.
As I sat up straighter in my seat, I saw Kes’s lips curve upwards, although whether that was because he could sense my excitement, or because he was in a place that felt like home, I couldn’t say.
The fair wasn’t open yet; instead it lay dormant, the wide avenue of the midway with its silent stalls and unplayed games, its tricks and delights, waiting to unleash its pleasure on the paying public. It was a world within a world, a community of others, where being different was celebrated, expected, valued. It was also painted with a new face, hiding a darker history behind arcade games, glitz and glamor.
I rolled down the window and imagined that I could smell the faint scent of the fair: hotdogs, onions, cotton candy. I was transported back over a decade, to the first time I’d visited the carnival, the first year I’d met Kes. It was magical to me then, and even though Kes had been the one to show me the puppet’s strings behind the illusion, the magic had not lost its power. I was home.
Kes steered the car around to the staff area, and I realized for the first time how vast this fairground was.
“Kes,” I breathed. “This place is huge!”
“Yeah, one of the bigger ones,” he said nonchalantly.
We were still driving around the perimeter.
“How big are we talking?”
He shrugged. “Uh, 550 acres, give or take. Almost a square mile.”
“Wow! And the arena where you’re performing?”
He looked at me sideways. “Ten thousand people.”
My jaw dropped open, and it took me several tries before I could get the words out.
“Ten thousand?”
He scratched his thumb over his eyebrow. “It’s not sold out. So, maybe eight or nine thousand.”
“Oh my God! Ten thousand people are coming to see you? That’s crazy!”
He gave me a wry smile as I babbled.
“I mean, not crazy! Of course not! That’s great! In fact, it’s freakin’ awesome. Ten thousand people.” I couldn’t get my head around it.
“Yeah, it usually gets sold out on the last day.”
I gulped. “How … how many days are you doing the show?”
Kes grinned at me. “Three days.”
I stopped speaking. I literally stopped speaking.
“I never thought I’d live to see this day,” he laughed. “Aimee Andersen is speechless.”
Michel’s Review
The Traveling Duet series by Jane Harvey-Berrick is one of the most powerful and beautiful love stories I have ever read. Aimee and Kes captured my heart. These two extroardinary people found a love that only happens once in a lifetime. They overcame so many obstacles throughout their relationship and came out stronger. They grew as individuals. They became a stronger devoted couple. Their devotion to one another is the glue that held them together.
Traveling Man blew me away. I was anxious for the sequel to the story, Traveling Woman to release. I wanted Aimee and Kes to find a way to make their own happily ever after. I was afraid that the author was going to take the easy way out, find an easy solution, and make the magic in their lives look easy. I was afraid that the story was going to end on a predictable happily ever after note ( which still would of been an excellent ending for this couple ), but I wanted to see more of who they were and how they were going to make this impossible relationship work. I wanted more for them than the ordinary ending. I wanted SPECTACULAR! Readers I can honestly say that Traveling Woman was….
SPECTACULAR
BRILLIANT
PERFECT
WONDROUS
MAGICAL
BREATHTAKING
PHENOMENAL
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT FOR AIMEE AND KES
I am not going to give too many details for this book. It is a love story that every reader should experience.
I will say this, Aimee and Kes proved there was magic as long as they loved each other.
Kes truly amazed me. Not only was he a phenomenal showman, he was a phenomenal individual. He went after what he wanted. He held onto it tightly. He learned from his mistakes. He always strived to be better. He always loved Aimee with a true heart. He shared his world with Aimee, she held onto it with all of her being.
Aimee was incredible. She recognized what truly made Kes tick. She embraced his world and stood by his side at all times. She took the good with the bad. She made the bad good. She fought for their love. She nurtured it and made it unbreakable.
Together Aimee and Kes will take a journey that isn’t always easy. They will pave their path the best way they know how. They will always hold onto each other while venturing forward. At the end of the road they will realize they have always made the magic by loving one another.
Jane Harvey-Berrick has given readers an unforgettable love story. She gave us magic! She gave us Kes and Aimee. She gave us the Traveling Duet.

About Jane Harvey- Berrick
I lived in London for over 10 years and have a love affair with New York. It’s only since I have moved to the countryside, that the words have really begun to flow.
I live in a small village by the ocean and walk my little dog, Pip, every day. It’s on those beachside walks that I have all my best ideas.
Writing has become a way of life – and one that I love to share.
