Today's new feature is my book recommendation. Each week I'll write about a book I read and liked, showcasing the book and offering one link for those who wish to buy it.
I will not be posting any negative reviews. I believe in positive energy and prefer to rave about something I enjoyed rather than rant about something I didn't. I hope you will join me each week.
If you sign up to follow the blog, then you won't miss any of my special features. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
Contemporary Romance
I don't know where to begin with this book. The writing, the characters, the story --all were excellent. Let's start with the story.
Ms. Taylor pulled me in right from the get-go with a sketch of a sexy man with an unusual past. Jack Howell isn't simply a hot guy with the Justice Department, he's a man who had been denied his heritage, for most of his adult life. While this tragedy has made him a loner, it's also made him hunger for the family he never had.
Enter gorgeous Chloe McNeil, decorator extraordinaire. She's a proud, self-sufficient woman with an unfortunate past of her own.
As the two dance around each other, attracted to each other, but wary, their backgrounds are revealed to us, little by little. And then a surprise happens, which draws them together. That's all I'm going to say so I don't ruin the story.
Now the writing -- WOW! This lady knows how to use words to build scenes and evoke emotions. There are no cliches here. Each sentence is constructed with the utmost care to make the story come alive. The grammar is perfect and the dialogue true to life.
But I can't ignore the longest, hottest love scene I've ever read. Holy crow -- turn on the air conditioning! Because she's built up the sexual tension to a fever pitch, this scene is twice as powerful.
I loved this story. The characters seemed like people I would know in real life. And I couldn't put it down. I must fault her for interfering with my writing time as I had to yank myself away from the book to get my work done.
If you love holiday love stories, this heart-warming, sexy tale should be at the top of your list.
Find it for only $2.99 on AMAZON
