When your past threatens to destroy your future; how long will you hang on before Letting Go?
Cassidy Charles is picking up the pieces of her life after another terrible tragedy. The last thing she's looking for is love. James bursting back into her life is the last thing she expected, but possibly everything she needs. She can’t deny the attraction, but can she get past the fact that he may be the reason she’s lost so much? He opens up a whole new world to her that she’s only dreamed about that she easily falls into. The result of her relationship with him reveals secrets from her past she thought were long forgotten.
James Benedict III, local playboy and successful real estate investor hasn’t stopped thinking about her since that fateful night all those months ago. He has her back in his life, but for how long? As more and more secrets from her past are revealed his own demons and tragedies loom overhead threatening to destroy everything he's built and done for her. He wants her in his life, but because of him her world comes tumbling down, again.
Will they discover that the love they have is strong enough to survive everything and everyone trying to tear them apart before it’s too late?
My Review:
4
½ Sizzling Stars
Sizzling yet sweet. Wear oven
mitts while reading this one ladies - it brings the heat, as well as the spice.
I would give it 4 1/2 stars if possible. I reserve 5 stars for stories that
make me cry and/or laugh aloud. While this one did neither, it did give me a
huge case of 2 deadly sins - envy and lust. Oh my! Christian Grey is a hack
compared to my new BBF (Book Boy Friend)! JB3 is a much better boyfriend, and I
just love his moniker. In addition to the steamy, spicy, juicy, sizzling sex
scenes, (hmm) there is also a tender love story - which is ultimately what we
all want… once we have caught our breath, cleaned ourselves up, and changed our
clothes after getting through the steamy, spicy, and juicy stuff. Ms. Witt has
done a fabulous job as I cared about and for all the characters, even the
ancillary ones. I still feel invested in them, wish them well, and want to know
what happens to them - all signs of a good tale. Obviously, given that the
title states Vol. 1, it is meant to be a series, which I typically don't care
for... but this book actually had an ending and can stand on it's own. No
irritating cliffhanger - which I personally despise as much as flying
cockroaches and biting ants. Ms. Witt calls herself a stay-at-home mom. I call
her an insightful and talented author. I hope to be reading more of her
breath-stealing work for years to come. Make me cry next time Ms. Witt and I'll
give you 5 stars.
