Review:
5 Stars
I absolutely LOVE books that capture my attention right from
the get-go with their Prologues. It is a huge plus for me when reading and that
is precisely what happened with Discovering
Lucy. Love it, love it, love it!! This book had a little bit of everything
that makes up a great romance novel. It had angst, passion, drama, sexy scenes,
and even heart-breaking events. You are in for a treat with this one!
“This was my home, he was my home.”
Lucy’s past was anything but great. While her mother never
abused her physically, she wasn’t going to win “Mom of the Year” in this
lifetime or the next, either. To top it all off, Lucy’s boyfriend was a coward.
Yes, the type of coward that hit her time and time again. Three years into her abusive relationship,
Lucy finally found the courage to leave.
She was now living in New York with her new housemate and
best friend, Megan (whom I loved, by the way). She was working at the cosmetics
counter in a high-end department store and it seemed as if life was
good…finally. Nothing too exciting had happened and she was okay with living a
low-key life. That is, until Knox Taylor walked into her life.
“When I see something I want, Lucy, I go for
it.”
He was hot. Hands down, yummy…the epitome of swoon-worthy!!!
He treated her like she deserved to be treated…like a princess, even though it
wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for Knox. You see, Lucy wasn’t exactly open
to the idea of dating and falling in love after what she had been through with
her scumbag ex-boyfriend. The walls around her heart were mile-high. But Knox
was a patient. It was only a matter of time until Lucy gave into his wonderful
charms…
“I don’t know why you have so many walls up,
or why my calling you beautiful makes you uncomfortable, but I’m going to break
through them, Lucy, I promise you that.”
Little by little, Lucy started to open up to Knox. She
started to trust him and in turn, she allowed herself to really live again. He
was just everything she needed and deserved. Knox was a true romantic, kind and
gentle, but with an alpha (yummy) side. It was wonderful seeing Lucy come out
of her shell, seeing her blossom with his help. Knox truly loved her and it was
clear as day that he would do anything for her…even protect her from her ugly
past. Because yes, as their relationship unfolded, so did the drama. But that
only brought Lucy and Knox closer and made them stronger as a couple.
Towards the end, I probably had the biggest smile plastered
across my face. I was blissfully happy with how Lucy and Knox’s story came full
circle. Honestly, this was overall, a delightful read! Discovering Lucy is a book I truly enjoyed and would highly
recommend to everyone that loves a great romance!
“I had found my forever. I had found Knox.”
