Book Review: Life After by Keith Thomas Walker

I came across this book on another author's page. It was free on Amazon at the time that I 1 clicked it, but as good as it was, I would have gladly paid any amount. 

Synopsis: 

Donna’s marriage seems perfect. An unexpected event sends her reeling - even more so when a pregnant mistress steps forward. Marcel survives a divorce, but there’s no solace when he loses his only child. Love has caused Donna and Marcel nothing but pain, but it may be the only thing powerful enough to heal their broken hearts.

Review: 

This is my first book by Keith Thomas Walker, but not my last. He's gained a new fan. This story was very well-written. Keith definitely has a way with words. Nolan- smdh...I hate what happened to him, but he brought that on himself. Sometimes it's best to appreciate what you got at home. Donna handled that situation the best way she could, especially while trying to raise her teenage son, who thought the world of his father. Character development was great...I loved and could relate to each of the characters. Donna and her friends sound like fun. My heart went out to Marcel, after all he'd gone through, but I'm so glad he got himself some help, and everything worked out between him and Donna. Those love scenes...I had to fan myself while reading them. They were very well-written and sensual. Great job.

Book Review: The Temptation of a Good Man by Delaney Diamond



I know some authors and readers like to talk bad about freebies on Amazon, saying that most are probably no good, anyway. But, I came across this freebie, and I really wish I could rate it higher than five stars...it was that good.

Synopsis: 


Can true love be found after one night of passion?

Celeste Burton goes out with her girlfriends to celebrate turning thirty and winds up spending an unforgettable night with the man of her dreams. One week later, as a favor, she attends a wedding with a friend as his date and is shocked when she sees Roarke again.

Roarke Hawthorne despises cheating. Cheating tore apart his family years ago. When the physics professor sees the woman he spent the night with show up at his sister’s wedding on the arm of his brother, he knows he should keep his distance. But because of the night they set fire to the sheets in his hotel room, he can’t resist the urge to be close to her–nor can he resist the temptation to have her back in his bed.


My Review: (left on Amazon & Goodreads)


OMG, this was such a great book. I came across it by chance..I saw it posted on another authors page as a freebie, and I'm so glad I clicked it. Delaney Diamond has a new fan. I loved the writing style, the detail in which she described things ..she made me feel as if I were Celeste...as if I was experiencing the sensual, passionate way Roarke made love to her; she made me want to be on the island, watching the dolphins while on the tour of the lighthouse. And I felt like one of the guests at the wedding. There was just enough drama...excellent storyline. I will definitely read the rest of this series, and all of her books. As an author myself, I say kudos. I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars.
