Damaged by his childhood, he’s ignored his true calling and goes through his days on autopilot…until he meets Lucy.First drawn together by chemistry, then by a fierce need to protect each other even from themselves, will Jake and Lucy learn to accept their pasts or will they convince themselves that happily ever afters only exists in romance novels?
What happens when a Romance novelist meets an uptight, workaholic attorney? One hell of a hot romance!
I loved this book so much I absolutely devouring it. All the Waters of the Earth is a well written sweet, sexy, feel good novel that will melt your heart!
Lucy was a sassy, curvy and confident single mom who writes romance novels. Through her writing she has been able to provide a good life for her and her 12 your old son, Rob. With her world pretty much revolving around her son, she had put her love life on hold, living vicariously through her books. You will absolutely love her relationship with her son and she will earn your respect when her baby daddy, who by the way is a real a$$, tries to threaten that relationship.
But what happens when a sexy, dark haired, blue eyed guy moves in the duplex next door? Well, after a somewhat embarrassing meeting with her new neighbor, Jake, when he returns her red lace thong from the laundry room they share. You got it, Lucy quickly became besotted with him. Not only that but she had to find a way to talk to him again so she volunteered to bring him homemade tamales. I love these tidbits of humor!
It didn’t take Lucy long to realize just how much of a workaholic Jake was. Living in a duplex it was easy for Lucy to see just how much time was spent at work. Up early and off for a run before work and not returning home until late evening Jake was definitely driven. Not only is Jake a workaholic but he is also a very complicated man with many issues for growing up. In spite of all of this Jake and Lucy still find stolen moments to forge a friendship.
Their chemistry is undeniable. Not only that but that chemistry gets cranked up a notch when Lucy and Jake’s paths collide at an art class where she models nude. Leslie also will not disappoint with her white hot sex scenes …. Lucy and Jake are off the chart hot! Jake is not only a hot, sexy man God but he is kind and sweet. One of the best parts of ATWOTE is just how accepting Jake is of Lucy’s son, Rob. What man would not steal your heart when they accept your child?
It was fun to have a surprise appearance from Amelia and Ryan and Marie and Will in this book! A truly awesome read and I cannot wait for Leslie’s next novel!!
Leslie McAdam is a California girl who loves romance, Little Dude, and well-defined abs. She lives in a drafty old farmhouse on a small orange tree farm in Southern California with her husband and two small children. Leslie always encourages her kids to be themselves – even if it means letting her daughter wear leopard print from head to toe. An avid reader from a young age, she will always trade watching TV for reading a book, unless it’s Top Gear. Or football. Leslie is employed by day but spends her nights writing about the men you fantasize about. She’s unapologetically sarcastic and notoriously terrible at comma placement (that’s what editors are for!).Always up for a laugh, Leslie tries to see humor in all things. When she’s not in the writing cave you’ll find her fangirling over Beck, camping with her family, or mixing up oil paints to depict her love of outdoors on canvas.
