“The Power of Love”
WOW..WOW..WOW…what an absolutely incredible, heart-breaking, heart-warming, breath-taking, beautiful story I have just had the opportunity in reading. This upcoming release is one of the best books I have ever encountered..EVER. I am floored beyond belief. This book grabbed me immediately with its heart-crushing moments, kept me eagerly in tune with it’s incredible characters, and, comforted me greatly with it’s heart-warming moments as well. I loved being immersed with these characters and their gripping story, and, much as it had affected me, I did not want it to end.
Reckless Behavior by JJ Harper, with it’s stunning and appropriate title, was one of the best stories I have ever read. It was one of those stories that flowed effortlessly as the storyline allowed me to quickly become addicted to its plot and its characters, as I found myself going through every-single-emotion as I desperately read through the story. I was anxious for more as I read, and, even though it was a welcomed deep and well-developed lengthy plot, I had wished it was spread out into two books, thereby allowing me additional time to read.
This is a story that I went into blindly, and, as this was the first time that I had read anything by this author, I am more than glad that I did. It does contain, without-a-doubt, many difficult-to-read moments, as I will call them triggers, and, I found myself absolutely beside myself while reading them. Even though they were very difficult to read, I do wholeheartedly recommend pressing through these moments, as there are many wonderful moments right around the bend.
Many of these wonderful moments came from the excellently-written characters. Gah..I adored many of them, others I loved, and, while I found it somewhat of a challenge to really understand some of them in part, they wound up growing on me and I ultimately loved them immensely as well. And, some of them..shocked me. Two such characters who wiggled their way into my heart were the main characters, Ezra and Santo. These extraordinary individuals blew-me-away with their dedication, inner-strength, and, devotion. Their background and development was indescribably gripping as well as breathtakingly beautiful.
Even though I may not have been completely on board with some parts of the storyline, and, despite not really knowing its setting, as a whole, Reckless Behavior is one incredible story. I am so very glad I read it….:)
