Review:
Hello, My Love by E Journey is quite a romance novel. Instantly there’s a power inside that sweeps readers off their chairs and pulls them inside…
Here, readers get another taste similar to the Pride and Prejudice novel. I couldn’t get enough of the characters. The raw frustrations, attraction, and cat and mouse chase had me turning the pages. Fast-paced, well-written, and fully developed characters. Hello, My Love is indeed the perfect title. As readers dig deeper they too, will realize that. I love evil ex full on getting revenge. It made this romance tale interesting. Then there was the main character who keeps on pushing away the man that seems intent on having her. When he does get her, it’s something he can’t shake off…but then his former fiancée decides to make hell for not just him but the woman he really loves. However, that woman isn’t sure he really loves her or wants her in his life. Love is messy, complicated and the most complex thing ever. But it’s beautiful in this novel. Realistic, believable, and highly entertaining. E Journey has created a masterpiece that will constantly be read by readers everywhere and deeply loved. For anyone who loves good literature with a more modern twist then, this is a must read. Overall, I loved reading it. Hello, My Love is my new favorite. I highly recommend it to all.
