IT ALL BEGAN WITH A SIMPLE
chat:-) This utterly original novel invites you to "eavesdrop" on the electronic correspondence between two people who have just met online: Bev, a tough-minded book editor who has been logging on for years, and Max, a restless advertising copywriter who boldly strikes up a conversation. With each e-mail exchange, two people who are at first faceless come vibrantly alive through their sometimes serious, frequently funny, and always believable messages to each other. As Bev becomes less inhibited, Max becomes more fascinated, and their relationship grows more intense -- until an unforeseen event changes the rules of the game forever. Intimate, compelling, and unpredictable, Chat gives a fresh twist to the thrill of romantic adventure.

A must-read romance series for online users
The Bridges of Cyperspace County with a surprise twist<br>Reviewer: jcorn59483 from Indianapolis, IN USA<br>First off, do NOT buy one of these books without buying all three (Chat, Connect, Crash) at the same time - they really do have to be read all together. Secondly, do yourself a favor and don't download these books. Try to find them in book form becaue you'll want the originals to stay on your shelf, ready to be picked up and read again and again.<br>Finally, here's the reason you should read this series: it is an orignal, well-done and witty flirtation and eventually full-blown romance between a man and woman who meet online. This is the FIRST romance series I ever read which was written from a cyber perspective, complete with emoticons (a crash course in them, in fact, useful if you've not particularly computer-savvy). I've read others since then but this is still my favorite. If you don't have much time to read but love a good romance, this one moves quickly but is fullfilling and emotionally engaging. Be forewarned: Have a box of Kleenex nearby!

Quick, but great read
Once you read Chat you will indeed want to complete the next two books in Nan McCarthy's series. Being an online addict and former chat junkie, I was so into this book, I emailed the author (no actual reply of course), but still felt good just venting. <p>If you enjoy light suspense, romance and high-tech flirtations, get crackin' on this 3 book mini-series. All three books can be read at one time. Their small size is also great for trading with friends.
