Finding Julia
Can a moment of passion outlast years of secrets and misery? For Julia Patterson, meeting Luke Buchanan awakens within her a passion she’s never dared dream possible. He claims her body and and helps her remember what it means to be a woman. But Fate has a twisted sense of humor. Just when Julia is ready to step over the threshold into a wonderful new life, her almost-ex-husband is diagnosed with a heart condition that puts her divorce on hold. Turning her back on Luke is the most difficult thing she’s ever done. But Julia has a secret, one that Charles discovers and uses against her. Years later, when Luke walks back into Julia’s life, the passion between them is just as explosive. But Charles is still controlling her from the grave, and the secret Julia has hidden for fourteen years could destroy their dreams forever.
My Rating:
3.5
Favorite Quotes:
“Magic beckoned, a starburst waiting inside her to explode
and thrust her into space.”
“The kiss went on and one as if they were fused together,
sensations of heat cascading through her body.
The music drifting into the room was a counterpoint to the pounding of
her pulse.”
My Review:
I alternated between fanning myself during the steamy
sensual scenes – smokin’ hot and well-done by the way – and wanting to throw my
kindle at the wall from the weak, tiresome, and wimpy behavior of the main
character. I ran out of patience with
her rather quickly. Although she
convinced herself she was being strong for her family, her indecisiveness and
inability to face conflict caused much harm.
Her secrets only caused pain. I
wanted to smack her in the back of the head during most of the book, yet I kept
reading… I tried to stop, but just couldn’t seem to do it… and was glad I hung
in there as I did appreciate the ending, sigh of relief!
