Synopsis
For fans of "Love on the Edge of Time" and "A Knight in Shining Armor" comes an epic romance that proves true love can never die.
Do you believe in soulmates?
A shy art historian. A sexy rock star. A mysterious medieval cross that holds a secret.
Lucy Bianchi has a plan: finish her PhD in art history and land a coveted job at a prestigious Los Angeles museum. Then – maybe – she’ll find time to start dating. Her controlled and predictable world begins to unravel when she chases a runaway dog on the beach and meets a gorgeous stranger.
Justin Hamilton is the charismatic lead singer of the British band Indigo. Years of touring and partying have won him notoriety, and he can have any woman he wants, but who he really wants doesn’t seem to exist.
Until now.
From their first look – their first touch – Justin and Lucy have a connection that defies logic and deepens their desire for each other. When they see the Varangian Cross at a museum exhibit, they’re flooded with inexplicable shared memories that draw them even closer together.
Justin has to return to London just as a salacious scandal explodes that could tear them apart. Lucy must choose between the safe life she’s cultivated, or go to Justin and discover a never-ending love.
"Discovering You" is the first book of a contemporary romance trilogy.
Review
This book was provided by the author through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Kate McBrien and Netgalley!
Discovering You is the first book in the Indigo Trilogy and tells the story of Lucy and Justin.
The book begins with a prologue from centuries ago about a woman who has to marry a man even though she’s in love with another man. Then from chapter one until the end we have our main characters Lucy and Justin.
Lucy and Justin have a special connection and suffer both from nightmares that are somewhat similar. When I finished Discovering You, I thought that there would be a bigger link to the prologue. It’s like the prologue hasn’t got a big meaning besides the fact that the cross Lucy saw was from the prologue.
Don’t get me wrong, I still liked Lucy and Justin as characters, but it felt like something was missing or that the story wasn’t finished. Besides that, I enjoyed getting to know Lucy and Justin. They’re both so different and that made the story really interesting. I wanted to get to know the characters better, and the double perspective really helped with that.
I liked the story in general, but the writing bothered me a bit. It often felt a bit rushed or just badly written. I also thought we were going to see some more paranormal aspects because of Lucy and Justin’s special connection and the prologue, but it didn’t really happen. I liked the characters, but I wished to see some more character development.
I still look forward to reading the sequel, Waiting For You, because I’m curious about what will happen to Lucy and Justin.
