Review Rating: 3.5 LIGHTNING BOLTS

Review: Sometimes, when all is lost, you find solace in the most unlikely place- a person's arms that you never thought would be.

The story started off intriguing. Then, when all hell broke loose, I felt for Charlotte. She's lost, suffering, and isn't sure what to do. I honestly had a hard time with the connection between her and Jason. It didn't feel right, or real. Maybe it's the way they came together, both grieving over loss, but it just didn't flow well to me. There are times I'm also not feeling the emotions from the characters- it's like I'm an outsider from the story.

The characters themselves are pretty good. Sometimes Charlotte and Jason got on my nerves, but figuring out a long distance relationship when the premise of the relationship began with more physical than anything else, i get that.

Overall, this is a great debut. I liked the story line and I would read other books by this author.

She settled into Corporate America, learning systems and practices and the bureaucracy that slows them. Eliza quickly discovered her creativity and gift for story telling as a corporate trainer and spent years perfecting her presentation skills and studying diversity. It’s during this time she became an avid observer of the characters we meet and the heartaches we endure. Her years of study have taught her laughter is the key to survival, even when it’s completely inappropriate.

She currently lives in New Jersey with her family and a misbehaving beagle named Odin. An avid swimmer, if Eliza is not with her family and friends, she’d rather be underwater. While she enjoys many genres, she has always been a sucker for a love story…the more screwed up the better.
