Louisa (Lou) Sears is thirty five years old, her daughter is away at school and she’s starting her life. Louisa was a teen when she had her daughter, abused by her husband, she became a single mother. She never wanted to have men in and out of her daughter’s life so she didn’t really date, devoting her focus to raising Veronica in a secure and stable environment.Jayson (Jay) Russell is a strong man. He’s muscular and hot as hell. But life has not been kind to him. He has been through a lot in his twenty nine years, and the human mind can only take so much, even the strongest will snap eventually. Jay’s past haunts him and he is barely keeping it together as he deals with everything he’s gone through and the PTSD it has caused.Afraid to Hope is book three in the Secrets and Seduction series by MJ Nightingale and it follows in the footsteps of the others, MJ Nightingale knows how to turn her readers on. Man oh man, is this book HOT!!! I have to say that I did NOT like the male character Jay in the beginning of the book. He is arrogant, brash and has no filter, if he thinks it, he says it and it’s rarely said politely. Louisa is a sweet, strong and independent woman, love this! She’s never really had a satisfying relationship and although Jay comes on like a Mac truck, there is an undeniable attraction between the two.  There are secrets and angst as well as warm touching moments. The book also takes a look at the main characters from the first two books, which I love. It’s great that their stories continue. I love how these two worked through their issues and I look forward to reading more about them in Ms. Nightingales next story. I give this book 5 stars with 4 hands down the pants. (Jay’s a tad kinky and alpha, mmm mmm!)“Two weeks without her had made Jay a very horny boy.”
