MORE THAN A LIFETIME by Theresa Laws
Theresa Laws is a good writer who has delivered a romantic journey that many readers will enjoy. I'm a sucker for ghost and angel stories and this story of past life and lost love fit well in that category. This is the story of Brooke and Evan and their quest to find the love they lost.
Filled with a nice blend of romantic sweetness and tension, this kept me turning the pages.
Brooke is a complex character filled with a nagging sense that something is wrong with the world. She leads a perfectly normal life with a steady relationship and job. Here life is complicated by her irrational fear of water, something that has plagued her all her life.
Evan is a dark, mysterious character who arrives on the scene just in time to rescue Brook from plummeting into a raging river. Hiding his past, Evan is gone before Brooke has a chance to find out who her rescuer is. This daring rescue sends Brooke down a road of discovery as she tries to track him down. I was ready to go with Brooke on her quest as she searched for answers about Evan, her past life and who she really was and enjoyed the ride.
Here is where my nitpick comes in. This was a very big story packed into a very short read. There was the potential there for lots of character change and emotional twists. Sadly it was just over too soon. MORE THAN A LIFETIME was good but this reader was left wanting more.
I'm hoping Theresa Laws has longer works planned for the future. She has the potential to be an emotional heavy hitter and I would grab any longer work of hers off the shelf.
