Lucy by Anna Ambrose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Lucy (Open-Door Policy, #1) was graciously provided to me by the author for an honest review. Review to follow.
A Novella Built On Love, Discovery and Acceptance..
What an intriguing, sweet, and yet, incredibly hot and erotic read I just had the pleasure of reading. Lucy (Open-Door Policy #1) by Anna Ambrose was my first read from this author, and, having gone into this read without knowing much about it, I was pleasantly surprised with how complete and well-rounded it turned out to be, and for those reasons, it will definitely not be my last.
With its realistic and excellently written characters, this story, despite being a novella, contained a thoroughly established storyline with a well-developed plot as well. I was immediately engrossed with the history of the two main characters, Lucy and Rylan, and found myself equally interested in how things would turn out for them. As each had been at a disguised cross-road of their friendship, it was very interesting to discover that through the discovery of life for both of them, there had already existed a comforting and welcomed realization that neither had even expected had existed and in the end, had greatly welcomed.
As briefly mentioned, the main and secondary characters were well-written for this novella, and in addition, the secondary characters had this underlying mysterious and gripping subplot to them that had this reader already heavily invested in their individual stories. I can only hope that each of them will have their own stories, as I already look forward to reading future books containing these welcoming and interesting characters.
While I had craved more character development as well as more development to the story as a whole, I loved this story and am so glad to have read it! 🙂
