Lexie Davis penned an
emotionally touching and very romantic short story called Loving Arms.
I loved the friends turned lovers theme and Davis did a fantastic job
handling the delicate transition from strictly platonic to romantic.
For a short story, Loving Arms really packs an emotional punch!
Jessica and Alex are so perfect
together. Jessica just moved back to her hometown after a humiliating
break up and as she’s working her job in the diner, Alex, her old high
school crush, returns to town and walks through the door. From the
moment they are reunited, they begin to heat up the pages of this book!
It’s not just a purely physical relationship for them; there is
tenderness, caring and an all around respect that they have for each
other that will inevitably make their new romance work.
Aside from their new physical
relationship, Jessica is also dealing with the news that her father’s
cancer has returned and his health is diminishing. Alex is there for
her through the whole sad ordeal and that alone makes him a great hero
in my opinion. There’s a very touching scene at the end of this story
where Alex finds Jessica’s journal and reads it. It was a very moving
ending to a story that has a lot of heart.
Lexie Davis is an author that
you want to keep an eye on. I very much enjoyed her new contemporary
romance, Loving Arms and I look forward to reading more of her
works in the future. |
