REVIEW
Heat Rating: Off the charts!!!
Did you ever have someone in your life that you love so much that it
just consumes you? You push them away thinking that if they just weren’t around
the feeling would go away. You try to convince yourself that what you feel
isn’t that kind of love. Even maybe filling that space with someone else who
you think you do love that way. And when that doesn’t work what do you do? Give
in? Keep Running?
Rhys and his older brother Jake growing up were always close. As boys they cuddled, talked, comforted each
other, and joked around as friends and brothers. They shared a bond that no one
could break. As they changed growing up so did this bond. Comforting brotherly
touches turned into an exploration of the love they shared.
One intimate experience between them during a very painful and emotional
time changed everything. Rhys struggles so much with his feelings for his
brother that he runs away from it for two years. Finding someone to fill that
missing part that he doesn’t want Jake to fill...or so he thinks. He finally
decides it's time to go back home to fix the broken relationship.
In going back he gets wrapped up in a supernatural world with an old
tale of love that hits close to home. As Rhys is trying to repair his life and
bond with Jake he is also trying to figure out the story of the ghosts that are
appearing to him. This may sound far fetched but believe I was just as much
wrapped up in this part of the story as I was with Rhys and Jake. The author
weaves this part of story so seamlessly with the love story that you can’t
imagine having one without the other.
This is a love with a HEA but one that we know will always have
obstacles to overcome. I loved that it was a slow build it made them finally
coming together so much hotter and sweeter. The addition of all the secondary
characters was just as perfectly woven into the story as the rest of the
pieces. Each bringing a part that was needed into the story from the neighbors
to the ghosts they all worked to bring Rhys and Jake to their HEA.
Let Your Heart Decide is the first time I have read this author's work
but definitely will not be my last.
EXCERPT
THAT
NIGHT my thoughts blurred into dreams as I drifted to sleep, filling my head
with memories of when I was a boy. I pictured Jake running with me down
grass-topped sand dunes, flying our kites on wispy tufted downs, and rambling
over the ruins of some ramshackle old castle. My heart soared in my dreams. I
recalled the many nights we told each other ghost stories under the tents we’d
constructed from blankets in our bedroom, times we snuggled under our duvets
and shone torches under our chins, making scary faces.
In
that haze of half-sleep, not sure if I’d slept yet or not, I jerked awake. Yes,
wide awake now, not an interrupted dream.
And
there it was again.
A
cry.
Outside.
And
close by.
Not
a baby nor a fox, but a man. I lay there, heart thumping, straining to hear in
the darkness, trying to pick out the sound and its direction. But nothing came.
In
the long quiet that followed, I remembered again how Jake used to hold me when
I was scared, or when I came home from school crying because bullies had called
me names or pushed me around. He’d stood up for me, protected me, and one day
the bullying stopped. I always thought it was because of Jake’s intervention,
although he never told me what he did to make it better. I never asked him. One
day I would.
The
quiet of the night buzzed in my ears.
Maybe
the cry was a dream, after all.
