Synopsis:
The course of true love never did run smooth~ Shakespeare
Leighton Parks~
I only wrote the love letters to my high school crush for fear
if he truly knew my identity, I would be rejected. I wasn't the most confident
girl in my school, and he was well... he was Luca Ferro. How could he ever be
interested in a shy, book worm like me? That's why I wrote them. To tell him
all the feelings I had for him. When I stopped writing the letters, I never
imagined that 10 years later they’d come back to change my life, forever.
Luca Ferro~
I always believed in soul mates, finding that one true love. And
I found her, my letter girl, but never knew who she was. She was a mystery.
Her letters, her words, meant more to me than anything. I searched for
her, thought of her day and night, but never found her. I gave up on the idea
of finding the missing piece to my puzzle—that is until she walked right into
my life and I didn’t know what hit me.
A chance encounter brings Luca and Leighton together ten years
later at their high school reunion. Will past secrets threaten to destroy their
futures, or will love be written in the stars for them just as it was in
Leighton’s letters?
Teaser #1
Leighton Parks:
"Luca, I..." His lips crash into mine before I have a
chance to finish what I'm saying. He's gripping my face with both hands now and
I'm powerless against his hot lips. I'm trying to keep my wits about me; I'm
trying to still my hands, keeping them from grabbing his neck to deepen this
kiss. My thoughts go around and around, I'm dizzy with desire, and I can't
restrain myself from doing what I want to do any longer.
I stretch my arms around his back and press my lips into him
even farther. He takes his hands from my face and pulls me tightly against him.
He gently slides his tongue into my mouth and I receive it with every fiber of
my being. This kiss is slow, it's deliberate, it's loving and I don't want it
to end.
Teaser #2
Luca Ferro:
I push back her shoulders slightly, and she falls back on to the
pillows of her bed. Her hair sprays out from beneath her and she holds her
naked knees together. Her cream colored skin looks supple, and I want to kiss
every inch of her. Her breasts and peach colored nipples are firm, but rest
naturally outward. Her body is like a canvas. A beautiful display of art.
Suddenly the way she looks changes the way I want things to go right now. I
have this girl, in her bed, naked and wanton in front of me. She is mine for
the taking, and I no longer feel the desire to just fuck her. I want to make
love to her. Soft and slow, rough, and constant. I look at her and rest my hand
over my heart. She looks at me confused. Here I am naked and waiting to be
inside her, but she stills me. She stills my heart and I wonder how this
magical creature came into my life.
Kricket's Review : 4 Chirps out of 5
I give mad props to M.R. Joseph. She is absolutely one of my favorite authors. She delivers again in this heartwarming story of long time love found at last. And if you've followed her, she even adds some personal touches to the story, that I thought were wonderful. For me, I love to read a line in a story and smile, thinking to myself I know what that's about!
The only thing that threw me off was the dual P.O.V. While it was great to hear the story through both leads perspective, sometimes I felt that what they were thinking could have been filtered. However, this was also a bit of a benefit for me. It led me to feel them more as individuals rather than fictional characters.
Aside from my own personal issues with the P.O.V., it was a beautiful story and I highly recommend it. Even if you're unsure of the duality of the story, the only thing I can say is to give it a shot. If you're anything like me, you'll love it.
