The
blurb:
Three people longing
to find love. Connected by one big lie.
Handsome, 28-year old,
Nate Hardman is a frontline reporter with a big problem. Suffering from
shell-shock and unable to leave his house, he’s already lost his social life
and his girlfriend. Now his career prospects are sinking fast.
9 year-old Adam Boxley
who lives alone with his ageing nan, also has big problems. Neglected at home
and bullied at school, he’s desperate to reach out to his dad – and that’s when
he sends his first letter to Nate. Only Nate’s not who he thinks he is. Will he
help? More importantly – can he?
Across town meanwhile,
caring but impulsive teacher Jenna Tierney really wants to help Adam - except
the feisty redhead has already had enough of teaching. Recently hurt by yet
another cheating boyfriend, Jenna’s now set her sights on pursuing a dream
career abroad ... only she’s about to meet Nate - her dream man who’ll make her
re-think everything.
The big question is; can three people desperate to find love,
ever find happiness when they’re only connected by one big lie?
My
Opinion:
*Book
provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*
This
story follows three different characters, all longing for love and happiness.
Their lives entangle and the story gets really emotional and touching.
Nate
Hardman is a frontline reporter, but at the moment he is unable to leave the
house. No social life, his ex-girlfriend is getting married and lots of panic
attacks.
Nate
gets a letter from 9 year-old Adam. He gets bullied at school and lives with
his nan, but he is more looking after her than she after him.
Nate
is not the dad, but can he help?!
Jenna
Tierney is Adam’s teacher. She’s going through a break-up and looking for
another job, hopefully far far away. But then she meets Adam and she meets
Nate, who she thinks is his dad.
Both
Nate and Jenna are trying to help Adam and at the same time they are also
helping each other. Nate goes out, doesn’t hide anymore, he opens up to her and
she opens up to him. Soon, both of them realize that they have feelings for
each other. But Nate still hasn’t told her the truth…
This
book is a real page turner, full of touching and sweet moments and I was
hooked. Giselle found a great way to include the character’s feelings and it
all came across very authentic and real. I liked that both Jenna and Nate got
to tell the story and the scenes between them were my faves.
A
very emotional book with a wonderful storyline, definitely worth reading!!!
