Paperback
Contemporary Romance

 

Ms Lindsay’s Debut Novel is a delightfully different romance, with a subtle sense of humor. 

Holly Christmas is the perfect PA to Connor Knight, always keeping her boss’s affairs in order. After the staff Christmas Party she finds herself succumbing to his advances. Holly has been secretly in love with her boss, now she’s relishing losing her virginity to the man of her dreams. 

Connor had no idea Holly was a virgin, neither did he realize she wasn’t taking a contraceptive. He also finds himself wanting more because one taste just wasn’t enough. 

Trouble brews after their one night of passion. What neither of them had planned on after their scorching encounter was a pregnancy. 

They both have secrets, and Holly is not in any hurry to disclose hers. Now Connor wants to take care of her, now she wants her other life to be kept out of view. The more Holly draws back, the more desperate Connor is to learn her secret. He’s begun to realize he wants this woman, and to keep her close to his heart, he needs to find out what she’s hiding. 

The author has written a beautiful debut book. The plot twists and turns as you follow the journey of two people, hurt by their pasts, and afraid to step into their future together. They have learnt, betrayal comes in many disguises, and always hurts, but sometimes it was unintentional. The passion is beautifully written, in this fresh tale. The characters were interesting and were displayed with hidden depth. The pace of the story was fluid and smooth with some surprise moves. The theme was good with easy to follow action and scene changes. The conflict was handled with compassion and was believable. The story was clear and concise with a good tone. The finish was satisfying with a clear future for the main characters on the horizon. Holly’s background was an original and interesting as we gradually learn about her background. 

Reaching out and finding a soul mate to ease the pain can sometimes be hard to do. In this tale of love and passion the reader will find a beautifully written story, filled with compassion and caring.
