Loving the Lieutenant by Elise Marion
5.0
Loving the Lieutenant, by Elise Marion has totally captured me. I actually had to take a breather after reading this book. I sighed. I reminisced of the good parts. And I sat back and actually took to heart what the author was conveying to her readers.
Elise writing doesn’t disappoint. I totally enjoy her style of writing. Her writing reads like a well written drama that’s made for the big screen or late night television drama. (Hello Dynasty). Other times Elise writing is like a darn good Hallmark movie.
I truly love that she writes her books with meanings behind them. What I”m trying to say is that her books give her readers food for thought. I should have said that in the first place, right? Let’s discuss a little about the main characters. Two love birds, Josephine and Max come together during the time were they have conflicting thoughts about their own dilemmas.
These dilemmas that the two feel are holding them back from enjoying their life and making their dreams come true. Take for instance Josephine whose a daughter from her fathers affair with her mother. Not having anyone to protect her from the cruelties of the world, and especially the ton. Josephine holds her head up high and fights the battles that stare down at her. Max, who returns home as a Lieutenant from the war, hiding an injury that makes him feel not whole as a person.
He feels that his mother doesn’t consider him of importance anymore. Max hides his hidden scars from the world and he suffers inside silently, until one day he sees a sign of spring that will show him love and compassion. Clearly I fell in love with the romance of this book. Elise chooses a thought catching a plot. Then she inserts intense drama and heart wrenching actions with impacting dialogue that will leave you a little shocked.
A bit mad. And a hell yeah, take it to the streets. Well, to the streets with grace and elegance, that is. Let’s get to the outline of the story. I will keep it short.
I promise. LOL. Short. Who am I kidding? Maxwell has been summoned by his mother to attend a two week Christmas gathering at the family country home with friends and family.
To stay sane, Max invites his close friend Gideon along. Josephine catches Max’s eye from the window and from that moment he pursues Josephine. Josephine whom most her life blends into the background, shy’s away from Max’s advances. Caught up in a snow storm Max and Josephine take shelter at a abandon cottage. Soon the strong passion and desire that burns between the two not only melts the snow on the outside, but the two hearts that instantly bond’s together.
Maxwell gives all his prowling, seductive, sexual desires over to Josephine. Josephine opens up and welcomes home the ecstasy that Maxwell can no longer hold back. Succumbing to Maxwell animalistic embrace, Josephine euphoric desires stimulates all the illicit and climatic desires she holds dear to her heart. My fellow readers, I recommend this book with two snaps and a Maxwell you naughty, naughty boy. Until next time you diehard readers... read on!
