Review for Four Letters by Lisa M. HarleyFour letters was a heart wrenching story about love, loss, and moving forward. Lisa did an amazing job with character development and keeping the flow to the story interesting. It can be very hard to time jump and keep a story fluid, but the author managed to do that not only once, but four times with four sets of characters. I have to give her huge props for that and maybe a couple "I'm not worthies."First, we meet Sterling and Skye. Skye is a princess who always gets her way. She is in control of every situation, including her sexual encounters. Sterling is a wealthy dominant who has an instant attraction to Skye. Their relationship starts with a lot of push and shoves as Skye tries to have her way while Sterling asserts his dominance. Their story follows them through the ups and downs of love, marriage, life, loss, and so much more.The second couple we meet is Asher and Lilly. Asher is a sweet, charismatic man, he travels a lot for his job and even though he isn't looking for love- he recognizes the pull when he first sees Lilly. Lilly is a gentle soul who can't seem to catch a break. On the day she refers to as "Vomit-a-Geddon" she seeks solace in her favorite park. That is where she sees him again, only this time he notices her too. They both feel the instant attraction of love at first sight. Their story follows them through love, marriage, parenthood, life, and so much more.Things get kind of deep with our third set... I wouldn't call them a couple, since things aren't the same with them- Tanner and Adlee are different than the others and yet have more in common than you can ever imagine. Tanner is an over the road trucker, he was passing through town on his way home and happened to find himself in the same café Adlee worked at. Adlee lives a life of survival. Her life has been one hell after another and she can't even imagine that things can be different for her. Tanner sees how broken and fearful Adlee is, determined to make things better for her he does something completely unorthodox... he brings her to his home and takes care of her. This part of the story will break your heart into tiny pieces. I fell instantly in love with Adlee and her spirit. She never gave in to hopelessness no matter how bad things were for her she just kept right on moving forward. You will get to see how she moves forward with a life she never thought she could have, to love and be loved, and even more important than that- to trust.Daniel and Becca have been best friends forever. When Daniel's dad leaves his mother and him for his secret family it changes everything for them. Stuck in a world of denial his mother pushes him away. Becca is there to help him through, with his hefty trust fund; they live the teenage dream traveling across country visiting the many properties he inherited. Is theirs the type of friendship that can withstand the test of time? Or will life get in the way?When the letters are delivered you will feel like you are right there with them as they read how one person's actions will forever change their lives as they know it... this book is a must read. It gets five stars for how well the story is spun and three wet panties for the smut factor.Book provided by author for honest review during blog tour.Review by the Head Whore at Mommy's a Book Whore.[...][...]
