Dayla Maylen questions where her life is headed after the death of her husband. Her marriage had been a unique partnership, one in which she had never experienced the magical element of deep, intimate love. So when an old time friend, Layth Sheridan, becomes a more permanent fixture in her life, long buried feelings for Layth surface and Dayla soon faces a struggle of choosing between living a single life or one that may offer true love for the first time ever. Each time she is near Layth she questions her logic and her every move. The more she is with Layth the deeper she falls in love with him-and the more she fears being a part of his life. Layth Sheridan, a lawyer known for presenting the best closing arguments in the courtroom, finally feels settled in his life after the passing of his wife nearly two years earlier. But one day, an old friend, Dayla Maylen, walks back into his life and makes him question his path and his heart. As he helps Dayla find her way through her loss, he soon discovers he wants Dayla to be a part of his new world. But another man, Simon, one of Dayla's long time college friends, also has an interest in Dayla. Will Layth be able to persuade Dayla to push aside her uncertainties where love is concerned? After several months of trying to sway Dayla to follow her heart, he comes to the conclusion that their only chance at happiness rests on him presenting the one thing that may win Dayla over to his side-his best ever...Closing Argument.

This is one of the few romantic novels written by Ruby Moon-Houldson. She is mostly known for her sci-fi/fantasy or thriller books. I can understand how this novel would be quite cathartic, as well as a comfort for her husband, who worked with her on some of the narrative.It is a quite unusual story, for the husband in the book is quite anxious to have identified and placed another man in her life--one who will be there for her, to protect her, and, hopefully, even love her more than he ever could.
It wasn't that they had not loved each other--cared deeply and had a wonderful life together... It was, rather, that they had met at a time when both wanted and needed something and it involved being married. The doctors had now shared that their was nothing that could be done to extend Brady's life... Other than make his remaining days as good as possible. When he was feeling better, he delighted in helping Dayla with her latest novel, which was to be about her new life once he had died... And when she'd admitted she wasn't interested in Simon, a close friend of both of them, he had started to question her about who she might have an interest in...until she finally told him! Of course, he then went on to check him out and give her his blessing... LOL
Dayla was not at all pleased to have Brady working to plan out her future life and was embarrassed when he had actually had a full discussion with Simon, but a man about whom she had no love interest! As a writer, she had traveled extensively to many places and had no fear of being alone. In fact, she had come to enjoy a freedom that allowed her to participate in things that she enjoyed and to make plans that she would handle on her own. Now as Brady's health deteriorated, he couldn't seem to accept that she could go on...alone...
For older women, there may be some confusion about what is happening with Dayla... But for Chick Lit readers, this could represent a scenario that many might face in the future. That is, is marriage the most important thing in a woman's life...or is her new-found financial independence and decision-making freedom now much more important? Especially in considering possible second marriages.
There were two men who had strong feelings about Dayla. Both had become widowers in the recent past and Dayla had known them during their losses. Simon was adamant that his love was strong enough that even if she didn't love him now, if married she would grow to love him--could he recognize that she had already done that with Brady and had known they'd had a happy marriage?
On the other hand, Laith was a lawyer in town where they both lived. He had similar interests and they had become more acquainted through their help provided to the local Arts Center.
Simon would stop by often as he traveled for work. And he would often stay with Dayla at a cabin she was living in while she got the house ready for sale. The cabin was owned by a couple who were her friends and they knew she loved it there..
She had packed up the few things she would want to take with her when she moved--her plans were to move out-of-state. She had known there was no choice but for her to take the painting Laith had given her, with the Enterprise right in the center... And as she packed her memories took her back to his leading an art class in which she had finally learned how to create small branches just by placing her pinky finger on the painting!
The thing was, Dayla greatly loved one of those men who professed loved for her. But she just didn't know how she could go back to not having the freedom that Brady had given her... It would not be easily to have a dominant figure in her home who had a right to participate in making even the smallest household decisions...
Enta hayati, lecken
Will this be a happily ever after ending??
While the romance activities move in different directions, readers will also see and learn about several major criminal cases which are being handled in town. Dayla was working on her latest book and began to attend the court cases to watch the people involved to help her form her new characters. She also got involved with one of them and soon both Dayla and Laith were in danger as more and more evidence was being found against police officials!
And then there is a little enticement to learn a little Arabic language which the author learned to prepared for her trip to Egypt...alone...LOL It will probably be hard to decide whether or not this is a true story...But, who cares? There's enough about the author that we will recognize her as one of our Fackbook friends and what she's all about... Where fiction starts and truth begins, I guess, will have to be a wait and see... Will our writer remarry sometime in the future? My feeling is that we will have forgotten all about the possibility by the time something happens way in the future...LOL
Check out this wonderful story about a woman who was happily married...and then totally on her own... High recommended!

Closing Argument Ruby MoonHouldson 9781608625444 Books Reviews
First of all I must admit that I cannot be objective in rating this book. This was the first and only book of Ruby's that I have read and the last that she has written or will write. I did think think that the book was well written, except for a couple of errors that should have been caught if the material had been proof-read. However, I thought the story was interesting and kept my attention. I did enjoy the book. As Ruby stated in the foreword, the story was a mixture of fact and fiction and therein lies my problem of being objective. In the story, the small town of "Raven" is, in fact, Linton, Indiana. I have lived my entire 83 years in Linton and although I didn't know Ruby personally, I had seen her around town since she was a young girl. It is well known that she did incredibly well considering where she started from. I know most of the people in the book although most of the names are changed. However, her friends in the book, Fred and Kathy are the real names of real people in town who own and operate a music store on Main Street. They also owned the cabin where she was living recently and they lived nearby on a lake south of town. The places she went to eat with "Laith" are real places where I frequent and the "Art Center" she visits often in the book is a real place in Linton and was formerly the public library until a new one was built. Ruby was a board member of the Heritage Art Center. So it was a new experience for me to read a book while knowing all this background. There was a large billboard in the highway coming into Linton from the west picturing Ruby and advertising her books. As I stated above, Final Argument, is the last of Ruby's books. She was found murdered in the cabin she rented from Fred and Kathy only a few weeks ago. Just this week it was revealed that a warrant has been issued for the arrest of her son Dorrell Houldson. He hasn't been located by the police but DNA evidence has tied him to the crime. She was stabbed multiple times. So I guess that "Closing Argument" is a fitting title for Ruby's last book.
