Love

Remington’s Book One
By

BLURB
Ellie Parker
is a master at building walls around her heart. In the twenty-five years she’s
been alive, Dex Remington has been the only person who has always believed in
her and been there for her. But four years earlier, she came to Dex seeking
comfort and then disappeared like a thief in the night, leaving him a broken
man.
Dex Remington is one of the top PC game developers in the United States. He’s handsome, smart, and numb. So damn numb that he’s not sure he’ll ever find a reason to feel again.
A chance encounter sparks intense desires in Ellie and Dex. Desires that make her want to run—and make him want to feel. A combination of lust and fear leads these young lovers down a dangerous path. Is it possible to cross a burned bridge, or are they destined to be apart forever?

OF THE HONEST REVIEW
This was my
first Melissa Foster’s read and it was worth the wait. It’s a charming story
about Ellie and Dex’s journey and it introduces us to the Remingtons series.
Ellie Parker
has had a difficult childhood and her only refuge then was Dex Remington. I
like Ellie, she’s been through a lot from an early age but has fought to make
something of herself. Her passion for helping children in need was inspiring. I
personally believe that wanting to educate children with disabilities or setback of
any kinds is a calling and it takes special types of people to do this.
Dex Remington
on the other hand, I wasn’t a fan. It’s a great thing when a character bugs me
like a 3D person would. I get it, Ellie
did a number on him and so did his father’s strict upbringing. But I felt that not
dealing with it by choosing to go numb, was a really bad move for someone this
smart. I wanted to shake him a little… trust
me, that’s a good thing! And his existential crisis, can someone slap his
head for me! Dude, it’s a video game not heroin, so chill! I happen to love
video games and gamers J
I really
liked the story and the length of the novel. It makes for a nice afternoon
read. The characters were well written and had a great supporting cast and you
know how much I like a good supporting cast. I thought the story went in circle
a few times and Ellie’s more serious issues were addressed but not really dealt
with especially at the end. It was an entertaining first glimpse of a very
talented family: a gamer, a sculptor, a writer, a skier and... a candlestick maker…
no?
