Review: Heart Song


Heart Song
Heart Song by Jambrea Jo Jones

My rating: 4 of 5 stars





I should have known that this story would be a tear jerker when the story began with a funeral. Rafe, a young police officer, had been in love with Charlie, an older business man who passed away. Charlie, though he cared for Rafe, had been emotionally unavailable, causing Rafe to walk away for the last time. Unfortunately, before Rafe could truly find closure, Charlie dies leaving Rafe with more questions than answers.

At the funeral, a young man catches Rafe's eye; he's kicking himself for finding himself attracted to someone at his former lover's funeral. Then he learns that Charlie had a son, Stewart, the man he'd been attracted to, and that Charlie left a note with Stewart for him.

This is a story of healing, closure and second chances. It will touch your heart and make you cry, but in that bittersweet way that often happens in life. I'm glad I Took the time to read this one.

Introduction To Me

After years of working...and nothing but working, I've decided it's time to chase the things I love.  Life is too short, and people need balance.  Reading is one of my many passions so I've decided to pursue it!  Maybe it's making up for lost time, or maybe it's that Kindle makes it so easy to buy books and keeps the clutter away, but I've found myself reading with a voracious appetite.  So I did what any woman who's been letting life pass her would do.  I bought them! 

I thought about it.  I have a ton of friends who love to read, so why not share what I've discovered with them?  Who knows, maybe it will help sell more books for my favorite authors...which means they will keep writing.  Altruistic?  Not really.  It means I get to read more of their stuff!

Anyway, a little warning, my friends...these days my preferences lean towards the spicy!  I'm really enjoying erotic romances...of all kind of variety.  So if you can't handle hearing about how hot M/M action is, or how sexy BDSM can be when written correctly, or even how there are times I think the Mormons are on to something because there's something really exciting about Menage (my personal preferences are M/F/M)...then this may not be the place for you. 

Don't get me wrong, I'll probably still talk about awesome authors like Nora Roberts, Julie Garwood, Gena Showalter, Lyndsay Sands and Kresley Cole.  But, more than likely, they'll be in the minority.
