4.5 Smooches!

Synopsis

I met Jake when I was seventeen and at eighteen, I became his wife. The years that followed were enchanted, like a fairy tale romance.

Then, in the blink of an eye, my perfect world unraveled—I lost a part of myself and my dreams shattered around me.

At twenty-five, I was left a widow, pregnant, and mother of two.

Fast forward almost five years—I exist but I don’t “live”. I had to learn to live without him, with only our memories and my tears. I raised our children, and I lived his dream, without a thought to myself.

That is, until the day at the stoplight, when a pair of violet eyes stared back at me. In that moment, the numbness started to disappear, and lightning hit, changing my world once again.

This is a contemporary romance and book one in La Flor series. Each book will be able to be read as a STANDALONE, and some material is NOT suited for people under 18

Review

The great thing about this book is you kind of get two phenomenal love stories for the price of one and even though you are preparing for the inevitable heartbreak and hiccuping sobs and the wailing of why? you still can’t be fully prepared at how much a book, or its characters can affect you.  Truthfully, after having read the first couple of chapters and falling so helplessly in love with Jake and Faith and their fairytale meeting and romance, I never expected to connect with the main hero of the book Zane, simply because the history, connection and love between Jake and Faith seemed so ingrained and unconquerable that Zane didn’t seem to stand a chance but I was so very very wrong.

Zane is a walking, talking, motorcycle riding alpha hero that always gets what he wants and what he wants is Faith and the man has no qualms about letting her know just that pretty much straight off the bat.  After such devastation and self-induced loneliness, Faith has spent years concentrating on her family and her career never giving any other man a glance, until Zane is all his arrogance and cocksuredness pulls up next to her at a stoplight on his bike and from there it seems he is a man on a mission to integrate himself into Faith’s life but just as everything seems simple and a sensual romance begins to unfurl, secrets and mysteries surround exactly who Zane is and why he knows Faith so well.

‘“I’m lucky to have Faith’s love.  I have the amazing woman she has become in my life and I’ll fight till my dying breath to keep her.

I just need to make sure that the little secret I haven’t told won’t tear us apart.  Because man, it could make us or break us.  I just have to make her understand.”’

Leap of Faith is a beautiful and emotional read with just a touch of magic and a sense of wonder about it.  With it comes so many questions too, questioning the notion of the one, or soul mates, how can you determine who was, is or could be the very definition of that?  It was nicely written but I did find that Zane was a little too aggressive and maybe a little stalkerish when it came to gaining Faith’s attention and from there their relationship was a rapid whirlwind of romance, hot sex and feelings.  What I loved was Faith’s interactions with her girls and Zane’s, how attentive and caring he was to each woman in that family proved that under his toughened exterior and assertive manner he had a heart of gold and a soul to match.
