![]() ![]() This story features a strong willed, stubborn woman who will soon be in a fight for her life. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review. It is rare to read books with such emotional honesty, deep characterization, and a plot that will keep you turning the pages as you root for the characters-and love-to triumph. Each book I have read so far in this series has had such an emotional depth and breadth with characters who are so human in their actions and reactions to what happens in the stories. I hadn't read any of her books before, and I am definitely a new fan. This is the third book that I've read by Marci Bolden. The way he acts is the way that love should be, so it is beautiful to read even though it is tragic. Marcus is an amazing hero to watch as he stands by the woman he loves during this most difficult time even when it is not easy for him. You won't want to do anything else so you can watch the progress and transformation of the plot unfold. The tragedy is a surprise, seeming to come out of nowhere-as tragedies often do-and while it is not an easy read, the author has made the characters' reactions to it so real and so very human. ![]() It was not easy for these characters to come together for a variety of reasons, and the author showed that with emotional honesty on both the characters parts. In the first part, it helps the reader understand the complexity of Annie's character because of her troubled past that has made her a slightly prickly person. This tragedy affects everyone in the sphere of the book, and it is heart-wrenching.Īs I have come to expect from this author, this is an amazing book. I won't detail what it is here because it is heart-stopping and dramatic, and you should read it yourself if you choose this book. They have only just begun this shift when tragedy strikes. He's willing to quit and work for someone else so the furthering of their relationship can happen. Annie is starting to come to appreciate him more in that regard but is hesitant to do anything because of their professional relationship since she is his boss. Marcus has had an attraction to the boss for as long as he's worked for her, but only recently does he think that the feeling might be mutual. The third installment of Stonehill series centers on Annie, Paul's sister (who was the hero of the previous book of the series) and her relationship with Marcus, who has worked in her realty office for five years. My opinions are my own and no compensation was received. I received a free copy of this book from the JGBS Review Library in exchange for my honest review. ![]() I recommend this read to those who enjoy romance and don't mind a bit of slow start. I'm happy to see that she takes a bigger role in the next book! There's something about how the author describes her feelings and how she can reach out to people at such a young age that warms my heart. Even though her role in this book is minor, I really enjoyed the scene that she was in. In this series, my favorite character continues to be Jessica. When Boudreaux describes the hardships that her characters went through, I felt some of their pain, as well. The author soared here in going through the pain and guilt the characters felt during this part giving the read more sustance. When the tragedy happened and living through the aftermath, I began to really started to enjoy the book. I found myself tired of reading about the beginning of their relationship and wanted more to the story. Even though we, as readers, vaguely know Annie from the previous Stonehill Romance novel, I still felt that her struggle with opening to Marcus was fast in this book, and she got over her reluctance towards a potential relationship quick. I did feel that most of the first half of the book was a bit slow and repetitive. The writing is good with a few minor grammatical errors. ![]() In this third installment of Stonehill Romance, Boudreaux keeps her focus on Annie and Marcus, alternating the story perspective through their eyes. However, when a devastating unexpected event turns everything in her life around, can her newly found love, Marcus, convince her that he can and will be there for her? She has also never been in a serious relationship due to the disappointing men in her life. Never needing assistance from anyone else. Annie O'Connell has always been a strong, independent woman. ![]()
