MISSED CONNECTION by K. LARSEN and MARA WHITE…REVIEW and GIVEAWAY

January 5, 2016

27867635

Missed Connection by K. Larsen & Mara White

Designed by Cover Me Darling

Release Date: January 5, 2016

 

Synopsis

Twenty years weren’t enough for either of them to forget.

A chance encounter, a missed connection.

Two wayward stars that collided in a turbulent sky, at the right place, but at the wrong time in both of their lives.

What happens when they meet again? Do the same unforgettable sparks still fly?

Titan Jennings and Jesenia Van Buren may come from two different worlds but their hearts are open to second chances. No matter who or what may stand against them, love is what anchors their lives together.

Love may be infinite but time is not, Missed Connection is a novel about making the very best you can with what little you’ve got.

My Review

5 STUNNING STARS!!

MISSED CONNECTION had me at hello! Something about 40-something main characters gets me EVERY time. Put this fantastic, second-chance romance on your must-read list for 2016! When I finished this book, I was a sobbing mess and felt compelled to finish my bottle of wine…yes, it’s THAT kind of emotional, yet very satisfying and ultimately uplifting kind of story,

I am a HUGE fan of Mara White but have never read anything by K. Larsen although JEZEBEL has been on my Kindle since its release. MISSED CONNECTION is not really typical of Mara White’s other books and it just shows the breadth of her amazing writing talent. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to read a book with older characters, who have lived a life and who have a richness and a history to their stories.

The writing is perfection. It is stunning, with an easy flow and believable dialogue and settings. Ty and Jess have very realistic jobs, family issues and other “adult” issues in both their lives. If you’ve read the Synopsis, you know this book is based on a “missed connection” between these two years before and that they seek each other out via a Craigslist ad.

“The ghost of this woman kept alive only by a matchbook, a tattoo and now, a post, just hanging out somewhere online.”

Please don’t read anything more about this book; just grab a bottle of wine, find a comfortable spot and get ready to lose yourself in this story. It is heartfelt, passionate, funny at times, and yes, very, very sexy. Ty and Jess will not be forgotten and this book just goes to show you that there is always hope, there is always the chance of true love and a true connection and there is always the chance to take the path that is right for you. I took away from this book the powerful message to always follow your heart. This gem of a book should be on everyone’s must-read list. You won’t regret it.

“I hope you know, that if I could, I would give you the stars. But instead, all I can give you is everything I have in my heart.”

Believe in true love. It’s real and it can be life-changing. Thank you Mara White and K. Larsen for a gorgeous story, I loved every single word.
