I’m always looking for new authors and I’m so glad I found Grace Callaway, saw this as a free book and I’m so glad I gave it a chance. Also, many of the previous reviews were helpful in choosing this book. I’m not very good at expressing myself in a concise way that would make it believable and not corny, as well as appeal to someone else to consider reading this book, but here goes.
I really appreciated the care the author took with her characters, both main and secondary. The story was very well thought out, and to be honest it was nice to have the clues not be obvious who the culprit was, and have the hero figure it out in time. Although there were misunderstandings, they didn't go on for chapters on end, and that as embarrassing as they were, they were faced and resolved. I liked that Helena was shy and sweet, but knew she loved him and knew what she had to do to please him, and in the process ended up finding passion herself. As for Nicholas, hubba-hubba, what more can you say about a man trying to better himself, yet still have that fire and intensity, especially for his wife. I love that he saw beyond the “wallflower” she presented and saw something else in her eyes, and went for it
.
There were just enough chapters to make sense and keep the flow of the story going, no awkward chapters filled with the couple talking to themselves and not each other, or with them too afraid to confront the problem or go after what they want. Now, for the most important part of the story, s-e-x, yup, I said it. The love scenes are just that, love scenes between two people “in love”. You gotta love a girl who goes after what she wants, and a man who can’t resist his wife’s attempt to seduce him. Don’t get me wrong I love a good steamy sex scenes as much as the next person, but I think sometimes they can be a little too explicit and totally out of context, I mean they meet, they kiss, they _____, where’s the romance in that. I think the author did a great job of building up the passion between the two leads and when the time was right, everything came together splendidly.
I will definitely be reading more of Grace Callaway’s work, too good to pass up. I put everything aside to finish this one, and I did that in a few hours, so I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I highly recommend this book as well as this author, you won’t be sorry.
