Intrigued and Enchanted Eva SimoneI wish I could remember how I came across Eva Simone. I have a feeling it was on facebook in one of my book groups.  I kept seeing the promo’s for her book and saw what others were saying.  SO of course I went to Amazon and checked it out and did the one click on May 18th.  It sat on my kindle until just recently.  I finished my must read reads and thought okay I’ll give this a go.All I can say is WOW!!! This book was amazing from word one and I’m not just saying that.  I’m pretty particular when it comes to who I read.  So picking up a new Author is always a risk.  It’s either really really bad or it’s really really good.  This was one of those rare gems.Lily Pritchard had a traumatic event in her early teens and she’s never really gotten over it.  She blames herself for what happened.  (If you think I’m going to give anything away you are so wrong). She’s grown into a beautiful, strong independent woman.  Her BFF Jess knows her inside and out and knows the nightmares that plague her.Brandon Redgrave is one hot, wealthy drool worthy man.  He too has some issues.  When you think you’ve found your one and it turns out you’re just being used for your money or who your contacts are it puts a dark cloud on your happy.But when Brandon and Lily literally run into each other he knows right then and there this is his one. His other half. His soul mate. Eva takes you through the most amazing love story.  It’s beautiful. Brandon’s love and devotion is unsurpassed.  They are both keeping things from each other and it causes a great deal of hurt and pain, but their love for one another is so spot on they can overcome anything.The one part of the story that choked me was when Lily and Brandon had come back from London and she was going through her mail to find a large envelope.  When she opened it her world literally came crashing down.  She basically kicked Brandon out of her apartment and wouldn’t let him explain.  For three days she cried her heart out.  I’m sure most of us have been there done that. So you go through all her emotions. Brandon is persistent and wants Lily to give him a chance to explain.  He does this with letters.  Little does he know she’s been kidnapped so she never sees the letters.I’m sure this is not done normally, but there were a few quotes that just made me cry.  Here is one from Brandon “You will forever be my best friend, my lover, my wife and my one true love.  My beginning, my end and everything in between – Forever yours.”  Can’t you just melt.Here is one from Lily “Brandon.  I was lost before I met you. Walking through life, but not really living it until you found me. Every moment with you is a gift, every look, every touch, every word that comes from your lips, I cherish.”Eva this is so deserving of 5* and I so can’t wait for Simon’s and Jess’s story.  I can honestly say you have made my list of Author’s to follow.  Kudos to you on your first book.  Great Job.  You right from the heart and I like that.
