BLURB:
Dr. Holly Edwards loves her life. She has a
job she loves and a loving family that means the world to her.
However, when it comes to matters of the
heart, Holly never lets anyone get too close to her. Not even the gorgeous Jake
Lewis, who just can’t seem to get passed her wall.
When she has to return home because of a
family emergency, she has no choice but to face her past. That includes coming
face to face with Alex Collins, the only man she has ever really loved and the
reason she keeps her heart so protected.
Will she let Alex back into her life and
her heart?
Or will Jake be the one who helps her find
who she really is, and be the rock she needs, when a family secret pulls her
life apart.

This is my first book published. It’s a
story about a young doctor who must return home to Dublin from New York when
her father takes sick.
She left Dublin because she had her heart
broken and when she comes back she has no choice to face her past. Things get complicated
when someone from her life in New York turns up on her door step. Also she
discovers secrets from her family’s past that could change her whole life, and
who she thought she was.
The
Other Side of Him.
Harley Lancaster is a romance writer. She
is also stubborn and set in her ways. She trusts no one outside her circle,
which consists of her Grandmother, her niece Morgan and her best friend Sadie.
When it comes to love, she doesn’t let anyone close enough to ever really have
a proper relationship.
When Harley buys a lake house, she forms an
unlikely friendship with the handsome Mitch Parker, the contactor she hirers to
renovate her new home. Bit by bit they grow closer and soon Harley realises she
is falling in love with Mitch. Has Harley finally found the one she can let
inside her circle, or is life going to throw yet another curve ball in her way?

MY REVIEW:
I received this book as an ARC, in exchange for an honest review.
I give this book 5+ Stars!!!
I just absolutely loved this book; the characters, the plot, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and of course my fav, was the ending :)))))
Alex is everything Holly ever wanted and thought she needed, until life took an unsuspected turn, and she had to go home, and came face to face with him once again.
Although Jake Lewis decided to be her support, and friend, in her times of heartache, it also helped Holly open her eyes for what is real and right in front of her.
I also thought I loved Alex, in fact I know I did, up until the end! Then I was like "WHAT AN ASS"
One thing that upset me in this book was that Holly, being the great girl she was, NEVER confronted Alex about what was revealed to her, involving her pass.

Jake Lewis was an all around great, patient, hot, loveable guy. Which you would have to be pretty dang stupid to not see it. Sometimes, things just take time. And with Jake being the patient guy that he was, it sure paid off for him.
Before I go, I want to make sure I let you know that Holly also has a very awesome dad, and brother. Mom, ended up being ok as well. SOme times things happen in our life that we cannot control, and we have to end up paying the consequences for them, and that's what happen with the mom.
This book was realistic, with everyday life situations, that was normal and believable; which is another reason it had me reeled in from the beginning.
I enjoyed this book so much that I could not put it down, it was in face every chance I got, grocery store lines, long red lights, putting godchild (3 months old)to sleep, while ironing, ok you get the picture. LoL
Thank you Lucy James for your trust in me with the ARC, and I will continue to follow you, for more books in the near future, I hope.
