Summary: 5 Stars
A great many thanks to Keta for writing such a damn good book!
I couldn't wait after reading Decadent Deceptions that I had to run over to Ravenous Romance to buy Land of the Falling Stars after I quickly read the blurb! And wow, blow me away, it was knock your socks off, better chug some Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla Coffee (XL), cause baby.... it's going to be an all-nighter.... again kind of book!
To say I loved this book is an understatement, so let me tell you a little about what I thought without (I hope), not giving away too many spoilers.
Sophia has been is the only one left, her brother and parents are killed in a fire during the Civil War just outside Fredericksburg, VA. Her heart longs for her betrothed and childhood friend Jesse who joined the south in their fight so long ago. Fighting to survive everyday for food and just another day on run down home of her childhood, she shoots a Yankee coming up the path to the house. Too far to see his face she fires her gun hopefully killing him. Or so she thought until she realizes it is Gavin, her other childhood friend and panic at possibly killing him sets in. Thus setting the wheels in motion for the turbulent months ahead that neither Sophia or Gavin could have seen coming. Gavin was only coming back to Sophia to tell her his terrible secret, Jesse isn't coming home. Through an emotional scene at the beginning of the story which without reservation captured my heart and squeezed it, we learn of Jesse's fate at the hands of his best friend Gavin. Knowing he must deliver the news and the last letter to Sophia, Gavin is startled when he wakes up in Sophia's home being mended back to health. A man of honor and so torn between his deep love for Sophia and the disparate need to honor Jesse's last wishes a friendship he can't fight the need he has for her. The bone crushing, heart on fire, passionate yet carnal need he has to rip Sophia dress off and throw her down on the best, spread her legs and make her his kind of need. Oh yes, he wanted her, ever since she was 10 and he 13 Gavin knew he was in love with the feisty girl when he saved her life all those many years ago! Now that girl was a lucius woman, to bad she was promised and in love with his best friend. Or so he believed.
Sophia WAS feisty, strong-willed to have survived on her own (w/the help of two ex-slaves), but she too is having a hard time with her feelings (a.k.a., wanton thoughts, desire) for Gavin. How can this be! She loves Jesse! No longer able to hold back Gavin takes Sophia in one of many smokin hot sex scenes I must admit I couldn't get enough of!
But hold on to your skirts because what happens next is the catalyst for my sleepless all-nighter! Sophia learns of Jesse's death and not in the best way. Oh how is she going to ever forgive Gavin. So lost in his own self pitting thoughts sometimes, poor Gavin, all hope for a happy ending feels so far fetched as new danger arises. Or rather one that has been there for some time. The murderous father-son duo that not only wants Sophia but her land. Before the end Sophia will lose everything she holds dear to her heart, unless she can get past her own fears and let Gavin in. She takes him for an emotional ride, so much guilt and sense of duty he will have to give her more than just a little tough love if he wants to get past the walls she has built up. So much pain for Sophia, truly loved her spirit, although at times I wanted to pinch her into submission, oh why did she have to be so stubborn and toss away Gavin's heart! Through circumstances beyond their control Gavin and Sophia must travel to Boston, only making it as far as Maryland, were ..... he leaves her. Yes, I said it, with a reluctant and heavy heart they part. Circumstances be damned! A love like theirs is once in a lifetime. What are they thinking!! Too stubborn those two!
The aphrodisiac is love, love with a heeping side of forgiveness and acceptance. Makes for one phenomenal read that will keep your heart pumping and the pages turning, not just from the delightfully sinful sex, oh no, the drama and suspense will carry you through till the end!
5 out of 5! Keta Diablo has done it again!
