Review: A Valentine's Surprise

A Valentine's Surprise by Melanie James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

•••I listened to the Audible Audio Edition of this book•••



Bailey Varness breathes life into this novella in unexpected ways. Her incredible performance makes you stick with the characters even when you want to throttle them :) I believe I wouldn't have finished this book if I had been reading it because of my intense dislike of one of the characters but I am glad her narration made me stick with it! It was a very good story in the end and I can't wait to listen to the next one :)

Love At First Touch



This series must be listened to (or read) in order. This is the first book. I can't wait to listen to A Deadly Obsession!


Amanda has always been the type.of person to keep to herself. She took care of her parents growing up because of sever illnesses. Noone understood her devotion to them which left her pretty much friendless and alone. Not that she had time for socializing in the first place! After her her father died when she was 13 her mother developed cancer. When her mother died she decided to go into nursing because helping people who were sick had become a calling. Between her work and her extended family she feels.as though her life is full enough. She is content until she has Adam (an injured police officer too attractive for his own good) as a patient. Why does he intrigue her so? Why does him calling her Angel melt her heart? Can he be worth the danger of getting involved and opening her heart?



Adam has had to put his own life on hold to raise his baby sister. How parents were killed by a drunk driver when she was only 12. He didn't want to expose her to anymore heartache while she was growing up so he subsisted with one night stands and kept all of that private. She was never exposed to a woman he had been with. Besides he had never met a woman he would risk everything for... One he wanted to marry. When he wakes in a drug addled haze he is immediately smitten with Amanda. Can she be the one he is meant to spend the rest of his life with? Does he stand a chance at winning her? Will he finally have a reason to celebrate Valentine's Day?


***This series is suitable for adult listeners (or readers) who enjoy chiclitish contemporary romances with a mild taboo and a sweet old fashioned hero who still brings a lot of steam to the love scenes leading to a HEA :)
