Danny's Main by Lisa N. Paul

5.0

"'If we're being honest, Julie, then don't lie' [...] 'I'm sure you're concerned for my safety, and for that, I'm grateful. But don't pretend you haven't spent tonight wondering what it would feel like to have me kiss you. And 'cause we're only doing the truth here, my truth is I've been dying to taste your lips since the second I saw them.'"

Sigh. Yea, from here, I pretty much fell in love with Danny and Julie.

As the description states, this book is part of Paul's Charistown series; however, it is a standalone that can be read as a series prequel or epilogue flashback. Danny's Main is my first Lisa N. Paul book, but it certainly will not be my last! The story of Danny Marcus and Julie Bell, Danny's Main is a 28+ year journey of their love, from the very first hello, through heartache, loss, and life. Beautifully written, it tore me apart and put me back together again, and it stayed with me long after the final page.

There is a realness and an honesty to these characters, and their story touched me on a deeply emotional level, as I am sure it will do for many, many readers. Their connection is instant, their spark hot, their love unwavering. Danny and Julie are a beautiful couple; one to adore, admire, and emulate. Where many couples would grow apart or crumble, they endure.

Danny's Main is a story of love and hope, the resilience of the human spirit, and the strength that comes from having the right one by your side.
