Readers certainly have opinions on books. They either love them or hate them. One of the things that readers notice is whether the book is in first person or third person. First person stories are told from the characters' point of views. These use I, Me, My and the reader can only understand what the character is feeling and thinking. They can't get into another person's head. Author Julie Navickas has taken her award winning books and done something unique. She's rewritten them in first person point of view. This allows readers a deeper understanding of the characters' motivations and delves deeper into their emotions. Finding Love is the second book in the Clumsy Little Hearts trilogy and this time readers can feel those insecurities and heartbreaks of Miguel and Rachel. Out now in hardcover, paperback and ebook, you will want to grab this story and fall in love with their romance.

You’ll feel every spark, every fragile moment of trust, and every devastating turn as they risk their hearts on a love neither believed they would find. Rachel Prescott has always fallen for the wrong men. Every relationship begins with hope and then ends with “nope”—until Miguel Rodriguez, the handsome new owner of Pier Ninety-two, finds her drowning her latest dating disaster in a bottle of wine. Miguel knows what it means to love the wrong person, too. Haunted by a past he can’t escape, he has only the fractured pieces of his heart left to offer. But Rachel—with her sharp wit, stubborn streak, and undeniable fire—makes him wonder if those pieces might be enough. Over mushroom ravioli and a bottle of wine—or two—their connection becomes impossible to ignore. But the closer they grow, the harder it becomes to hide the old wounds threatening everything they’re building. To find the love they both deserve, Rachel and Miguel must decide whether they’re brave enough to let go of the past—or risk losing each other before their future can begin. Best-selling and award-winning author Julie Navickas delivers a heartfelt story about imperfect people, second chances, and discovering that the wrong turns in life can sometimes lead you to exactly the right person. ~1st place recipient of a BOOKFEST AWARD in contemporary romance~ EXCERPT “Rachel has spent her entire life believing love just wasn’t meant for her.” I nod. “Yeah. She’s told me the same.” “Well, good. Because it’s true.” Rose sighs. “She’s dated every kind of disaster imaginable. Sketchy accountants. Frat-boy idiots. Adrenaline junkies with drug problems.” She grimaces. “There was even a commercial airline pilot obsessed with collecting vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” I wrinkle my nose. “Seriously?” “Trust me, I wish I were kidding.” I laugh, and for the first time in what feels like forever, it doesn’t hurt quite as much. “But jokes aside, when it comes to love,” she says softly, “nothing ever works out for Rachel.” Her eyes find mine. “Until you came along.” I let go of her hands and rub the back of my neck. “We’ve spent years teasing her about the guys she’d bring home. Every one of them was somehow worse than the last.” She smiles. “But then she met you.” I raise an eyebrow. “So… I’m not one of the losers?” Rose laughs. “Sir, not even close.” Her smile turns gentle. “You won her heart, Miguel.” Hearing those words somehow makes losing it hurt even more. “Rose, if everything you’re saying is true…” I rake a hand through my hair. “If I’m really different from every other guy she’s been with…” I let out a defeated groan. “Then why did this happen? Why did Rachel push me away?” Rose lifts one shoulder. “Miguel, I’m a chef, not a psychiatrist.” Also Available- Trusting Love, |
