Review: Lexi and Alex forever!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 19, 2013
This is the second book in the Lexi series and continues almost immediately on from the first book, A Twist of Fate.You know how the second book in a trilogy can often be slow and maybe even a bit frustrating because you’re thinking to yourself “Come on! Move along faster please.” Well, this was not the case in this book, probably because so much happens.Yes, it is different. For one thing, I think, there is less angst and WTF moments; but there is a lot more of those Awwww moments. You know the ones where you feel like your melting, that is, when you’re not insanely jealous. There is also more humour. I had lots of LOL moments; moments that made me send quotes to a friend because I was laughing so much. There were also those moments when I was mentally High Five-ing Lexi. I love that girl!Although Lexi and Alex’s journey is not a smooth one (Did you really think it would be?); it was one full of love and VERY hot sex. (I don’t think I mentioned that in my review of A Twist of Faith.) Yes, there was hot sex in the first book, but not as much as this one.We don’t see much of the other characters because this IS their story, but they do make appearances. How could they not? Each one of them has an important part to play, but you do see more of the men in Power Station; another VERY good thing.I thought I had seen the last of the “bimbo with a bad boob job”; otherwise known as Marcy but she makes more than one appearance in A Leap of Faith. I probably shouldn't say this, but she makes me think of a girl called Marcy who I went to high school that was full of herself as well. Maybe that was because, the author’s characters seem real instead of fictional characters that I would never meet in real life.And then we zoom back to Melbourne to meet Lexi’s family. It seems Lexi was NOT exaggerating. You need to read that for yourself, but just don’t thrown your reading device across the room. They’re not worth it.To sum it up, this was another great book written by T Gephart. When I read a book, I want to feel engaged, I want to feel emotion and I want to finish a book thinking “I wish this story wasn't finished”. Fortunately, it’s not. The third and final book in the series is out early 2014 and I have a novella to look forward to as well. I believe that one comes out on the 10 December.I gave A Leap of Faith 5 out of 5 stars.Written by Karen from Confessions of a Bookaholic
