4 Smooches!
Synopsis
Haunted by the responsibility of caring for her troubled family, Maya Jacobs gave the only answer she could when Cameron asked her to marry him. Years later, entrenched in a soulless professional routine, she distracts herself from the lingering regret of her decision with a “work hard, play hard” lifestyle that guarantees no man will ever find his way into her heart again.
Cameron Bridge has spent the past five years married to the military, trying to escape the painful memory of losing Maya. After fighting his own war in the desert, he starts a new life in New York City, with his siblings, Olivia and Darren, by his side.
When fate brings Maya back to him in the heart of a city filled with its own hopes and shadows, can Cameron find the girl he once loved in the woman she’s become?
Review
On My Knees is a story about a young couple, Cameron and Maya, who were so in love despite being so young but then were torn apart when Maya was too scared to take the next big step and Cameron walked away. It wouldn’t be until 5 years later when they meet again but Maya isn’t the sweet, young girl Cameron was once in love with. She is self destructive and has no confidence about herself or her life and has erected shields around her heart.
But Cameron can’t forget the girl he has always loved and still does and is determined to bring her back to who she once was and bring them together once again..and to do it right this time.
“All I know is that I love you Maya. That needs to be enough”
I really enjoyed this story. It was what a romance story should be. It was filled with passion, angst, love, frustrating but easily likeable characters and great sex scenes.
I adored Cameron. I loved how he refused to give up on Maya and how he had loved her all this time. He was funny, sweet, determined and definitely sexy, it was clear through the sex scenes that he certainly knows how to turn a woman on.
“The person I wanted to desperately run from was the only one who could put me back together”
Maya wasn’t an instant like for me I have to admit. I did feel sorry for her, her life clearly wasn’t what she hoped it would be and I could feel her struggle through the days sometimes. I found her self destructive nature and the utter lack of confidence about herself annoying sometimes because even though her life wasn’t perfect it still wasn’t terrible. She did grow on me though and I began to understand why she was the way she was. She was strong in her own way even though she doesn’t believe she is at all and when she would start to lose herself in Cam you saw the sweet side of her, the way she was when her and Cam were first together.
“I loved him and fucking hated him, how he never gave me the room I needed to run”
The story line was good. It was a change to read a romance that focuses solely on the romance and relationship between the main characters. It was full of angst and there were plenty of hot sex scenes thrown in. There was drama and suspicious characters…Jia was definitely someone I was unsure about and who I thought had an hidden agenda and also the mystery about Maya’s mum.
“Trust and this love that even she could no long deny perhaps was the bridge that would take us from who we were to who’d we become”
A lovely satisfying romance story with just enough drama and angst to keep you wanting more and praying that this couple has the happily ever after they so desperately deserve.
“I’d unbreak everything I’d broken and bring her back to me if it was the last thing I did”
