Passion. Love. Lies. Must Be FATE. For Gabriella Fiorelli, starting a new life with her young daughter in the sleepy town of Glebe Point is just what she needs—no complications. But when she meets handsome lawyer Justin Morrison, complications are the least of her worries. Passion and past collide in a delicate web of lies and love, and as Gabriella comes to grips with a heartbreaking choice, will her world come crumbling down?
Patricia Paris is a bestselling, multi-award winning author of sweet, sexy, contemporary romances and romantic suspense. She lives in the Chesapeake Bay area of Maryland with her husband, a lazy but lovable cat named Shiloh, and James Brown (aka, JB), the baddest, but also lovable, dog in town. A true romantic at heart, Patricia believes everyone deserves a happy ending, and she strives to deliver that to her readers every time.
I absolutely loved this charming story. The characters were wonderful and the love story between Justin and Gabriella was intense, you could really feel the love they felt for each other. I was so drawn into this lovely story I just did not want it to end. Beautifully written and flowed like water. Each page had you eagerly turning the next one, it was full of intrigue and suspense. This is one of the loveliest love stories I have read in a long time. If I could have rated this higher I most certainly would have done because it's worthy. I highly recommend this book, you will not be disappointed. I will be reading more from Patricia Paris in the future.
I read the authors first installment in this series, 'This Time Forever' and rushed to get this one. I was pleasantly surprised that this story was different, yet equally enjoyable. Unlike the first book where Blake was full of anger and didn't want to deal with his feelings, in this book Justin (Blake's twin) is mostly confused and conflicted which makes him more real. Gabriella is loveable and strong, yet down to earth. Their attraction makes sense. A good love story.
I really enjoyed this book. This is the second book in a series and I didn't read the first but this one is about a different couple falling in love so it didn't seem to matter that I hadn't read the first book. I figured out what was going to happen at the end pretty easily but I still liked the romance between the main characters. I will probably go back and read the first book to see the romance of the guy's brother from the second book.
Wonderful addition to the series. I just love how the author pulls you into her stories.This book is passionate, emotional and even humorous. I love Justin and Gabriella together. The sparks just fly off the pages. They are both dealing with issues in their pasts and trying to come to terms with them. It is a great read that will pull at your heart strings. A must read! But start with This Time Forever, the first book in the series.
To me this was one of those books that just happen & there is a climax at the end & an HEA. I really liked the first book. Things just seemed to happen & the feelings were evident in the first place. This book lacked to intensity of the first book until well into the second half.
I truly enjoyed this book. The storyline and character development was very well done. I will be going back to read the first book and will also be looking to read the 3rd book.
