"Samantha Posey: Love Unfolded" by Shantee' A. Parks

My Thoughts...

I will say this was one read that kept me shaking my head because it seems to go on and on and then at the end we find it is a cliffhanger... the reader will have to get book 2 to get the remainder of Samantha and Jacob's story. I will say that this author really knows how to write some erotic sex scenes that will be in most of the chapters. I will say this was uniquely done and left me saying wow! Be ready for a story of 'love, lies, betrayal, mystery and yes even murder, loss of action, suspense and romance.'

I will say this novel has some very interesting characters especially the secondary ones [Nicki, Adam & Todd] that I found rather defined and well portrayed in this story line. The hero and heroine both at times will work ones last nerve with all of their bantering back and forth. This was definitely not one of those predictable stories because there is so many twist and turns but one thing is for sure and that is their love making! Will Samantha and Jacob have their HEA when it is all said and done? Will they be able to get pass this 'invisible bond' that they seem to have for each other? Well no matter what the odds or conflict that comes to Samantha and Jacob it seems certain their loves seems to conquer all....or will it? To get these answers and so much more you will have to pick up 'Samantha Posey Love Series Book 2' to get the rest of the story.

Review:

"Unfinished: a First Love, Second Chance Romance" by Susan Hammond

My Thoughts...

'Unfinished' was a good contemporary romantic read..maybe a little long but still good where you will find plenty of 'love and forgiveness.' This read will definitely keep you turning the pages to see what was going to happen next as the story deals with some real deep issues. The two main characters...Nicole and Jake along with the secondary characters were all well developed, defined, portrayed, colorful and very believable as the reader will see as the story unfolds. Truly the 'psychological depth' of these characters were simply off the chart...well done! All of this only gives the reader a well written story that will keep the readers attention. What I liked about this story was that it is complete with a satisfying ending where you find this author covers the story very well. I will say that I did have a few questions about a couple of the characters in the way the storyline was presented but it all turned out OK for me in the end. Be ready for a enjoyably captivating well told story with lots of 'trials, tribulations, depth, passion, secrets, mistrust, steamy sex scenes, love and compassion.' The reader will definitely be left feeling this novel was one of those stories that had a full range of emotions.

Thank you to the author for the gift of your read and my giving you a honest review of your novel.
