Fiction Friends - Through It All by Muoh Joanne

Through It All

By  Muoh Joanne

When Cassandra Peters returns to Nigeria to mourn her father’s death, she is hurt, confused, and in pain. She has but one intention—to be done with it all and return to the comfort of her medical practice in the United States as quickly as possible. That is, until she meets Lucas and then gets more than she bargained for.

Lucas is a man with a dark past. Young, enigmatic, and fiercely protective of his adopted family, he seems to have no space for anyone else in his heart. Yet he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Cassie, and she finds herself falling in love with the man who infuriates yet thrills her.

But just when it seems that these two are set to capture happiness, Lucas finds his past catching up to him. A deep tragedy sets in, and Cassie finds her world crumbling around her yet again. Against all odds, will Lucas get the redemption he seeks? And will Cassie embrace the love she so deserves?

Excerpt

“Why is it so hard for you to share your problems with someone  else?” His pain was evident in his eyes. “Why can’t you lean on me?”

 

He rubbed his eyes. “If you can’t trust me, I wonder where we’re going.”

He jogged down the stairs and took the twins’ hands.

She couldn’t let this go on. She couldn’t hurt him. She couldn’t stand knowing she had hurt the one man she was head over heels in

love with. “Lucas!” She raced down the stairs.

Everything seemed to happen in a blur. She saw the speeding car out of the corner of her eyes and watched in horror as Lucas let go of Nadie’s hand to twirl and face her. 

She was rooted in shock as she watched Nadie get hit by the speeding car as she crossed the road after Lucas let go of her hand. Cassie heard a scream and realized it was hers. She covered her mouth with her hands as she looked at Nadie’s awkwardly positioned and bloodied body. She watched the car speed off.

Lucas ran to Nadie while people gathered. Someone picked up Natalie and turned her face away from Nadie’s body.

“Cassie! What the hell are you doing standing over there?” Lucas yelled.

That was all she needed to get her adrenaline pumping. She was back to being a medical doctor. She knew what she had to do. Oh God  please keep my baby sister safe! She pushed her way through the throng. 

She heard her aunt frantically asking someone to call an ambulance.

Harry's Love Letters Hacked! By M LeMont - A Fascinating Piece of Fiction

HARRY'S LOVE LETTERS HACKED!: A NOVEL: I Won't Pay Those Bastards a Dime. Silver Rain is Falling.

By M LeMont

Blurb This book takes on-line romance to a whole new level. Provocative, Romantic, Shocking, and Scandalous. A gift to women who are unhappy, and stuck in a boring, unaffectionate and non–romantic relationship, or marriage, and who have lost touch with reality of what true love really is.

 Review

A Fascinating Piece of Fiction - Raw, Sexy and Honest

This sensual, funny, sexy read is almost voyeuristic in nature. The author lets us peek into the hearts, minds, and passions of two people caught up in an emotional love affair. 

The book is laid out as a timeline of Direct Messages and Email conversations between the pair. That are later discovered, exposing the emotional affair that has developed. 

The two characters, Ann and Harry start out as colleagues. An appreciation for mutual talent, intellect, and sense of humor develops and a spark ignites. 

The slight keyhole you are given by the author is, to me, fascinating. You know nothing about the characters except what is written in the letters and messages to each other. This forces the reader to look for clues, read between the lines and creates anticipation for the next interaction. It also drives the book forward at a furious pace. 

It is a tale many of us know, and many have found ourselves in a similar plight. Attraction to someone besides our chosen mate. A realization of something missing from our lives now being fulfilled by someone else. Those very realistic and conflicting emotions are conveyed with elegance and beauty within the exchanged letters. The intensity of emotion leaves the reader at times breathless and uncomfortable. This is not meant as a negative but as a nod to the author for his insightful descriptions and ability to seek truth in a muddle of words. 

Some may not care for the central themes of extra-marital communication or what is commonly known as an emotional affair. That being said, if you read the book as it is, a work of fiction, an experiment in looking at the motivations of why we do what we do, why emotional affairs happens, it is a fascinating and raw piece of art.
