Synopsis
Art curator Jovie Iams has found the man of her dreams. Her boyfriend, Italian chef Leonardo Manning, is smart, sweet, and gentle…until he breaks up with her and leaves her emotionally devastated.

But Jovie can’t escape her feelings for Leo, and finds her heart trapped between the two men. As she becomes more entangled with Leo and Owen, she discovers that things are not always as they seem. One of these men has a dark secret that will turn Jovie’s world on its head, and will force her to make the ultimate choice between love and safety...
My Rating:
“Her cheeks
are naturally rosy, with her whiskey-colored eyes expressing a happiness that
makes you instantly smile.”
“You are my
whole heart. You are my
happily-ever-after, my beloved. I will
love you until the end of time and beyond.”
My Review:
This was a
busy book, a lot happened in this entertaining read. A good debut for a new author that crossed the
genres of romantic suspense, new adult, contemporary romance, and also had
characters who had recently return from military service. While Loving
Jovie is the first of a series, thankfully it was a complete stand-alone
story without a dreadful cliffhanger, although I was growing fearful of one as
I was nearing the end. The beginning was
somewhat melodramatic, although it got and held my attention. I was undecided who to root for, as the lucky
girl had two hunks vying for her attention and willing to fight for her
favor. There were also a few steamy scenes
that lightened the story, and further muddled my decision on whose team to
cheer for. Some girls get all the luck,
but Jovie actually had to work for hers, as like I said, it was a busy
book.
