Once written Twice Shy -The broken men chronicles Book 1 from Carey Decevito

Back Cover : 

Stared at the overly large bags that lay by the front entrance with what must have been the world’s largest what the fuck look on my face.

“I’m done, Paxton.”

After his bitter marriage ends, Paxton seeks respite from his loss.  Rediscovering his writing, he never expected to create a piece worthy of reading, nor for two unsuspecting paths to cross in the most unconventional of ways.

Thousands of miles separated them, yet he’d never felt closer to anyone.  Finding out that happiness and love was attainable again was one thing.  But having Alissa - that was something else all together!

When the two finally meet in person, sparks fly. Their chemistry is beyond explosive, and emotions reach a boiling point.  Their brief love affair ignited the fuse, but Paxton is shocked when his young son fans their fire. His sweet four-year-old boy immediately falls for the loving, meek, demurred woman in Alissa, and she starts to change both their lives. Then, she becomes their salvation - in ways no one could see coming.

My Review: 

 

This is the first book I read from this author. Normally, the books I read are about woman point of view, it was nice to see something different. I love both Paxton and Allie, but I wish to see more about their relationship and less about what happens between them in bed. I understand they write online for a year, unfortunately we don’t know much about what happened during this time and they are almost a couple when they meet at the airport. 

Jasper, Paxton ’son is a sweetheart and it’s difficult not to like him. My heart almost broke when he gets sick. Since it’s one of the strongest points of the book, I will let you discovers what happens with him. The author made me cry and I had to hide it since I was reading it on my way to work.

The sexes scenes are well written, but I had to put the book down sometimes or skip paragraph because I had the feeling the main couple spent too much time in bed. Fortunately, they have real discussion that make them more believable. I also wish we knew more about Allie’s past. 

I already have the book two and three in my to read pile and I am looking forward to read the rest of the series. By the end of the summer, I will have all the five books and I can’t wait to see what happens to the other characters.

I recommend this book, if you like contemporary romance, you don’t be disappointed.
