BLOG TOUR & BOOK REVIEW **** Finding Passion by Tiffani Lynn

MY REVIEW

Well the book started with an bang and was a none stop mix of action, steam, angst and drama though out. If you're looking for a cliched 'boy meets girl, boy and girl get together, boy and girl split up, boy and girl reunite' book you will be severely disappointed. IF however you are looking for a well written, deep, emotional book with well rounded characters and a gripping story line then look no further than this.

On the day she finally leaves the Navy, Valerie receives some very unexpected, difficult and shocking news. Stuck in an unfamiliar town, far from family and friends we see her struggle with building a life for herself. Javier enters Valerie's life in an unexpected way and the pair have super hot chemistry and form an instant connection. For what he considers to be a good reason, Javier is determined to keep Valerie at arms length, Valerie is trying to sort out her life and isn't looking for a long term commitment either.

Javier is one hot male, with a love of family, a strong work ethic and a deeply caring side. However he keeps sending Valerie some very mixed signals and whilst on the surface he behaves like a jerk, you can understand his twisted logic, so I still loved him as the hero. Valerie is a wonderfully strong character and it was wonderful to see how she grew in this story. At times she lacks confidence (not helped when Javier behaves like a jerk) but it was wonderful to see a mature heroine behaving her age, not always being perfect but feeling very real. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this story of two wonderfully human characters, facing adversity and living life. The author's writing style is very easy to read, the prose flows well and is easy to follow. The plot is like nothing you will have found elsewhere - it genuinely feels like you are looking into the lives of real people. There are no easy options here nor cliches, instead you will find a deeply moving and at times difficult (though not dark) story. I also like that there is no insta-love or super quick romance, instead the plot takes place over months into years, with the story developing and progressing in a natural way
