Let Me Love You is a beautiful story about acceptance (of yourself & others) and over coming your past. It has a wonderfully moving message that'll leave you with warm fuzzy feelings all over! I enjoyed the fast pace in which it was told and how you're immediately thrown into the story.Natalia Slone is in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend Dean. Afraid that he'll hurt her loved ones if she leaves, Tally has stuck it out and endured the absolute worst. That is until Dean goes too far. That night she has the perfect opportunity to get away and she does. Finally ready to move on and rebuild her life, Tally moves in with her sister, Scarlett and decides to turn her photography hobby into a career. Which is how she meets the super sexy, bad boy actor James Wilde. He wants nothing more than to live and breathe Natalia but first he has to earn her trust and her love. With many inner demons to battle the big question is can she let go of her past and embrace the possibilities of her future? Especially with all the problems that come along with dating a celebrity?Tally has the most amazing support network consisting of her family, friends and a whole soccer team of stand-in brothers. They're always there for her through thick and thin, ready to take on anybody who dares to hurt her. She has such a beautiful heart that people can't help but be drawn to her. One of the qualities I admire most about Tally is her openness. Instead of hiding behind her pain she's upfront about it and while she's not incredibly eager to discuss exact details she's okay with talking about it and open to the idea of healing and seeking closure.Given the fact that this is Ms. Davies debut novel there are some kinks that need to be worked out. Scene changes could be a little smoother as they tend to be a bit abrupt at times, and the characters need a bit more developing to allow for the reader to fully connect with them. BUT she did a bang up job on the sex scenes (no pun intended) and delivers some super steamy action. Plus there's plenty of drama to keep you on the edge of your seat! All in all, I'm impressed. Ms. Davies did a good job on her debut novel! I look forward to reading more of her books.
