synopsis

Louisa Sears is ready to start over. Escaping her small town where prejudice, long memories, and old fashioned values haunt her, Louisa embarks on her dream of finding love, and a man who can warm up her bed at night. Pregnant at sixteen, divorced from an abusive husband at twenty, and raising a daughter alone, Louisa is now ready to live. She wants what every woman wants. A rock hard man, who knows how to love. Will Florida be the place where her dreams come true?
Jay Russell is battle scarred. A past filled with horrors from childhood, the war in Iraq, and the most devastating event of his life that occurred when he returned home, he is definitely not looking for love. When he first meets Louisa Sears, the bombshell with the fantastic body, he wants one thing, and one thing only, her body underneath him. The hot little ticket that walks by his t-shirt shop, meets all his requirements for a night of passion.
The scars in them run deep though, and they both have secrets. Can two people so deeply wounded by the past learn to trust each other enough to share those secrets? And if they do, will they be able to get past them and learn to hope again?

Donna's Thoughts:

Louisa (Lou) Sears is thirty five years old, her daughter is away at school and she’s starting her life. Louisa was a teen when she had her daughter, abused by her husband, she became a single mother. She never wanted to have men in and out of her daughter’s life so she didn’t really date, devoting her focus to raising Veronica in a secure and stable environment. Jayson (Jay) Russell is a strong man. He’s muscular and hot as hell. But life has not been kind to him. He has been through a lot in his twenty nine years, and the human mind can only take so much, even the strongest will snap eventually. Jay’s past haunts him and he is barely keeping it together as he deals with everything he’s gone through and the PTSD it has caused. Afraid to Hope is book three in the Secrets and Seduction series by MJ Nightingale and it follows in the footsteps of the others, MJ Nightingale knows how to turn her readers on. Man oh man, is this book HOT!!! I have to say that I did NOT like the male character Jay in the beginning of the book. He is arrogant, brash and has no filter, if he thinks it, he says it and it’s rarely said politely. Louisa is a sweet, strong and independent woman, love this! She’s never really had a satisfying relationship and although Jay comes on like a Mac truck, there is an undeniable attraction between the two. There are secrets and angst as well as warm touching moments. The book also takes a look at the main characters from the first two books, which I love. It’s great that their stories continue. I love how these two worked through their issues and I look forward to reading more about them in Ms. Nightingales next story. I give this book 5 stars with 4 hands down the pants. (Jay’s a tad kinky and alpha, mmm mmm!) “Two weeks without her had made Jay a very horny boy.”
