Embracing Love is an
intriguing story well written by Delisa Lynn. However, I found it very
complicated.
The pace of events is
very fast. Actually it is too fast. There were too many incidents happening in
a short period of time. I may have liked it more if the book were over
300pages. But to me it was just too much.
The characters were not
what I would like them to be. They never did what I thought they would/ should
do. It was quite frustrating, to be honest. They have such great potential. I
really do believe that if the book were longer, the characters would have the
required space and time to grow and develop properly to the readers’ eyes.
Basically, I believe that the story was too complex to be written in just 170pages. It could be a full-length novel !It would be a really great one!
Delisa Lynn is a good
writer and I do believe she has enormous potential to provide us with much
greater books. She must definitely be in your Authors-Watch-List!
Playlist
I love music! I have used some of
these songs in Embracing Love. I have listened to all of
them while writing, some of them over and over. I would open the playlist and
get lost in the music while writing. Each song has lyrics that fit with the
characters, and their story. There are a couple songs that mean more than
others. When I say I had them on repeat, they were on repeat for hours! My
husband is thankful for my ear buds.
