Belleza is a book full of angst, suspense, mystery, love and towards the end hope!Mya's story unfolds little by little. We get to know who she is and how she came to be the young woman she became. Mya's life went from happy go lucky teen to out on her ear with nothing in a flash that she had absolutely no control over.Joe thought he had it all, a successful business and a happy marriage, that was until he walked in on his wife and her boss. We meet Joe as he signs off on his divorce decree, at the beginning of what he hoped to be a new life. It is here that Mya breezes in and out of his life leaving Joe breathless and desperate to find out who this mystery woman is.And the Gods of Fate are on Joe's side. He manages to bump into Mya again and a connection begins that take both Joe and Mya on a tumultuous journey, one that neither expected and neither was ready to go on, but by golly they are determined to hold on tight!What drives this story is Mya's past that keeps sneaking in and threatening a positive future. There are multiple antagonists who do not wish for her happiness.If you love angsty romances that have characters who are always one step behind getting that golden ticket of happily ever after then you will love this story. There were moments I wanted to bang Mya and Joe's heads together...but the journey was worth it to the very end...And just when I thought the angst was over Ms Heron has a second book, Alias...I may need a stiff drink!!!!Great story line, emotional plot and lovable characters! Thank you Ms Heron!
