Jameson (Jyme) Samson has only been with one woman in all his life and she tore his heart out and smashed it to bits last year. He’s built like an Adonis but he has inherited the family trait and Elle just couldn’t handle it and now no other woman on the reservation will look at him. Grandma assures him there is someone out there for him, after all his grandfather and father both found women who could get past the family trait. She knows that his love will come from a far off land and will be everything he needs. But Jyme too has secrets; will he be able to trust a woman again? Can he let her know about his life, will his mother ever accept a stranger?
To be honest, I had a hard time getting into this book in the beginning. Despite that fact I couldn’t put the book down. The plot intrigued me, what where these two hiding? Would Cricket be able to get past the family trait, how many women could? This story had so many twists and turns and by the end I sat there thinking “I did not see that coming!” and the ending had me crying “NOOOOO”. I also love that the main character is a confidant size 18 woman. So many women are not twigs and finding a book that portrays the large size well is a real treat. Phoenix Rayne defiantly has a gift for unusual plots and I see her doing very well. This book is not your typical love story and I recommend it to those who love romance. I give Heels of Love 4 stars.
