The sound of a breaking heart can sometimes be so loud you can't hear the truth!Francesca's world has been rocked, shattered, broken into a million tiny pieces. She is no longer living, she is simply existing, throwing herself into her work, scurrying away from her friend's good intentions and barely looking after herself. Why? Because `he' cheated on her.I really, really enjoyed Love, Interrupted for several reasons. First the writing was lovely; elegant, rich and sensitive. The characters were wholly believable and certainly had me investing in them, and the theme - betrayal - was really well handled. It was realistic, the emotions eloquently portrayed, and the complex twists and turns of a heart, and head, in pain was beautifully put onto the page.Francesca's agony was tangible, as was her bitterness and confusion. My heartstrings actually tugged reading her story, and I completely understood why her friends, best friend in particular, had to take a stand. The flashbacks were hot and soul wrenching. They made me feel she really had lost the best guy ever!Mark, when he finally appears, is everything she remembers him to be. I don't want to give any plot details away, but suffice to say as a reader I was not disappointed in the least.Ms Black is a new author for me and I will eagerly be on the look out for more of her books. Love, Interrupted is definitely a read I would recommend because of how totally the author had me rooting for the characters and how she didn't shy away from tackling a complex range of emotions that could have gone wrong without the proper amount of thought and skill. Great read!Originally posted at LAS Erotic Reviews
