The following is my June 26, 2013, 5 Star review:
Book: Afraid Of Love
Author: Nancy Silk
Genre: Romantic Suspense with a touch of Paranormal (psychic visions)
Length: Approximately 239 Pages
For all of you romance junkies out there AFRAID OF LOVE by NANCY SILK is a great read! Paula is a 24 year-old woman that has suffered through a terrifyingly, traumatic experience when she was a young girl. This experience has left her afraid of love and intimacy with men. She enjoys platonic relationships with men, but the thought of intimacy makes her withdraw emotionally and physically ill.
After her trust is violated by a man she’s been dating, she runs to her sister at her family’s ranch to try to rebuild the relationship they once had. It’s there she meets Richard, the neighboring rancher that is used to having his way with women and trusts them about as much as Paula trusts men. I really got a kick out of this first meeting and laughed out loud when I read about it.
What I really appreciated about this book is the author didn’t rush this relationship. The reader doesn’t find out until the end if they are able to come together. I’m not going to spoil it for you and tell you if they can come to an agreement, but these are two people that are drawn to each other and have deep feelings for each other that grow and blossom through the book. Do they remain good, caring friends, or can they get past their fears and move into a full-blown relationship?
I know that I’ve mentioned in past reviews that when my mother was alive, we would read books and discuss them. She would have loved this book (I even had flashes of her reading it and smiling as I sat there with my Kindle) and this is one book I would love to discuss with her for hours. I’d like to thank Ms. Silk for bringing back those wonderful memories for me.
If you enjoy romance, you’ve just got to pick AFRAID OF LOVE by NANCY SILK up. You won’t be disappointed.
