Peace and love in the woods
Lara and Declan are both lost souls that have retreated to the woods to find solace and direction. She lacks direction and purpose, and he suffers from guilt over the loss of his sister. Their story could be considered almost “inspirational” if it weren’t for the sexual overtones. Great characters, story, and writing make this a don’t miss read!

Lara was raised with money, the past few years she has been making her way around Europe trying to find herself. She has no spent basically all her money and has little prospects for securing her future. She takes her brother up on his offer of using his little cabin in the woods for her to take some time to figure out her next step in life.
Declan loved being all alone in the woods, his little cabin was a perfect match for the life he now wanted to live. About 2 years ago he had a completely different lifestyle then one tragic event switched his priorities. He knows as soon as he see the little sports car driving by that his quiet time in the woods is over.
Lara has no idea how she is going to survive til Christmas with no food or warmth in her little cabin. She ventures out to see if the man she saw on the way in can help her. His solution is to give her firewood if she left him alone. Harumph.
Declan just wants Lara to leave him alone. Maybe if he gives her enough firewood she won’t come back. He can’t stop thinking about her though, as much as he wants to, and finds himself venturing over to her cabin to check on her.
Lara and Declan find themselves hiding out in the woods, for different but almost similar reasons. Can they come together to heal and be just what the other has been looking for?
3 ½ stars for the newest novel from Ms Hart, I received an advance copy without expectation for review any and all opinions expressed are my own.
A person changes their way of thinking when they experience a loss. Guilt, sadness and loneliness is all they. It’s quite beautiful when love smacks some sense into you. It was a beautiful love story with a little twist. It was well written and the storyline was spot on. It was a great read.

Wow! Talk about sweet heat. This is one exciting, action packed, fast paced, pulse racing, heart pounding, page turning, smooth flowing read that’s as riveting as it is captivating. All the twists and turns, unexpected circumstances and unpredictable surprises around every corner make for one thrilling experience. The drama, grief, sadness, self hatred and suspense increases steadily as the main characters bond with a chemistry so scorching you feel it through the entire read. Suzanne pulls you into her imagination so deep until everything else ceases to exist. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this bad boy together beautifully. Fantastic job Suzanne, thanks for sharing this little treasure with us.
