space have his sister claiming he’s a candidate for Bedlam – and he’s
not about to argue. He doesn’t always remember where or when he was

Adonis, she discovers the man harbors secrets that may be impossible
to reveal. With her own sanity in jeopardy – a year-long mystery

My Review
I loved this book a lot! I saw a strong woman, with a quick mind and always up for a challenge. I felt her ambition to succeed in all her tasks and missions and for that, I am so very pleased with what I’ve read!
Again this is one of those series I never start from the beginning because… that’s me! But I never felt outside of the plot, I never missed anything from the action in “The Enigma of a Widow” by not reading the other book in the series. However, it would have been nice. Because the writing is beautiful and the characters are so well built!
Ok, the action is summarized very well in the plot. We have a combination of Romance and…. Anything our heart may desire, in the limits of romance. The author wanted to give a little bit of everything and mixed it all up beautifully. She created a background for each of them, giving us a feel of their emotions, prior to their meeting.
And because I’m getting to the characters and their stories, Adonis and his PTSD are so well captured, as well as Lydia’s attitude and her reaction towards his emotions and needs. She is not a woman that gets scared easily and she is not one to back away from a challenge. For that, I respect and admire her.
All in all, this was such a lovely read and a great way to pass the time. Suffice to say I’ve read it in one day – such is the grip of a good story! I hope you’ll enjoy it as well 🙂 5/5 stars!
