Review: Contemporary, but no “smut” Romance.

I am still reeling after reading "Desire & Prejudice” several days ago. The prose is captivating, attention-grabbing, but it's the characters who really pull you in. The compelling yet smooth, easy-to-read narrative is a surprise from a first-time author, but Jean-Louis McMillan is a near-expert storyteller. Scene after scene, the author digs deeper. Why do we love? How do we heal? You only thought you knew before reading this book.The setting is contemporary, but this is no “smut” romance. The main characters are real and relevant and wounded, and their story is one of both hope and passion. I found myself rooting for them, even when they made me so angry. I got sucked into their lives, wanting to learn more. Why are they hurting? What's their story?What happens when they get caught? (Because you sort of know they will.)Books like this one make me so glad I support self-published authors. Bravo, McMillan! I hope you write another one soon.
