The Image of You by Melanie Moreland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Update 2022: I read the original Sept 2017. And how could she make the story "more"? The added content rounded out their journey. Adding nuance to the scenes gives the reader a deep experience of the character's journey to HEA. Alex is a soul needing release from her cage, and Adam loves her with a ferocity that every heart deserves. Brillant, emotional, and engaging. This will leave you with a book hangover.
Once again Melanie Moreland enchants me with her words. She has one voice in contemporary romance that is not to be missed. My Image of You cocoons you tightly in their world that you never want to leave. Adam and Alex are beautifully complex characters that are delivered to the reader with equal parts of lust, humor, tenderness and love.
Adam is what I would refer to as an understated alpha. His persona is charming and captivating. He has a job that would make any adrenaline junkie jealous. And he passes that passion onto those he loves with evenly matched ferocity. As a reader, you can't help but feel as deeply as he does throughout the story.
Alex is a gorgeously written heroine who waters run deep. She has an inner strength that shines brighter as the story progresses. Although her glow may dim at times, it's finding that one that helps you glimmers all the time. With Adam, her character doesn't just twinkles but radiates. You don't feel sympathy, but empathy for this endearing heroine. You WANT her to have her HEA.
I would be remiss without mentioning the secondary characters. Ms Moreland never writes these characters as someone to move the story along . They are as necessary as the main characters need air to breathe. Elena again is one character I wish I knew in real life. She leaps off the page and into your heart.
If you are familiar with Melanie Moreland's writing, My Image of You is right up there with
The Contract
and
Beneath The Scars
as favorites of mine. If you are not, you will not be disappointed with this bewitching story. 5 out of 5 stars
