Afraid to Love is a wonderfully written love story that is full of emotion and passion that carries a message about love, trust and family that you will enjoy.Ana Perrot a woman holding a dark secret. An ex-husband left her heart shattered and she has lost all trust in men.  She is a mid 30's independent, successful, woman who lives her own life as she sees fit and plays by her own rules.  She thrives on sex and will do almost anything for pleasure.  Casual sex no commitments is her motto.Teddy O'Rourke a mid 30's laidback, oozing sex appeal, ex-cop, bartender holding secrets of his own. He thrives on the bar scene and enjoying life including all the women that throw themselves at his feet. He never has a problems finding willing partners for that one night stand.  His family is his true life and someday he hopes to have his own.This wonderful tale starts:Ana takes her sister out to have some fun at a local bar.  While her sister is dancing Ana starts to flirt with the tall hunk of a bartender (Teddy). The two hook up for that proverbial one night stand.  A single man enjoying his freedom.  A single woman seeking great sex. Is there something there? Have they both meet their match?  Will love weave its fingers into their lives, will Ana trust again or will?  ..............This is a truly enjoyable story and the author, MJ Nightingale, did a outstanding job of portraying the strong characters of Ana and Teddy along with all the supporting characters in this story.I did have a love/hate thing going on with Ana at times with her inability to try to trust.  But Teddy "Teddy Bear" was so easy to fall in love with that I was championing for him from the start.  The sex scenes, there are many, were descriptive but so well written that they never took away from the story line of trust and commitment.I won't give anything away.  It is a great rollercoaster ride with a few twists and turns along with way. A few tears were shed, especially after reading a letter Teddy's mother wrote.  I loved the ending and hope you will too and that you won't be disappointed in reading this wonderful story.  Great job MJ Nightingale.
