James by Chantal Fernando
Synopsis from Amazon
James Steele leads a complicated life, a life that makes it hard to get close to people. James’ secrets caused him to lose the woman of his dreams, Sasha Crawford. James has now moved on with Tatiana, a lovely woman whom he works with, someone who understands his reasons for secrecy. When Sasha comes back into the picture James will have to make a decision. Will he stay with Tatiana, a woman he has grown to care for? Or step up with explanations for Sasha, the woman he can’t seem to stop wanting?
Sasha, a foolish romantic, had thought she had found the love of her life in the sexy James Steele. That was, until she saw him in the arms of another woman. Heartbroken and betrayed, Sasha now had a new take on romance, using dating and men as a way to get over the pain of losing James. When their paths cross again and James now has a new woman, how will she react? Will she let go of all the hurt and anger, and move on? Demand answers? Or lay her cards down, and fight to win back the man that was once her everything?
My Review of James by Chantal Fernando
James is the most recent release in Chantal Fernando’s Resisting Love series. I’ve been waiting patiently for James, after reading the stories of Chase, Kade, and Ryder. I was really hoping James would find someone who loves him and treats him right. We finally find out what keeps James away from home so often, and it really wasn’t what I thought it would be.
We met Sasha in the earlier books and knew that there was a past between her and James, but no one really talked about it. All the past comes out in this book, both Sasha’s and James’ past individually and together. I like their love story and how they work together to move past their issues. I’m not a fan of the fact that Sasha kept something from James for so long, although I do understand her reasons behind the secret.
I feel that the story was somewhat rushed, it started out good, but then the story seemed to move quickly without much build up. That could just be me, though. I really liked all the books in the Resisting Love series and they are a worthwhile read.
