HEART-SHAPED STONE BY ARBY CORRY - VIRTUAL & REVIEW TOUR + GIVEAWAY


Heart-Shaped Stone
by Arby Corry

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Caila, like most dreamers, just wants to be wanted. Unlike most dreamers, she's wanted by the CIA.

When the last decade of thirty-two year old Caila Domenici’s life disappears, destroyed in a car accident, she is forced to begin again. Defying doctor’s orders to slow-go-it, she sets out to navigate the world on her own. It's not going well. Coddled from birth, everything from a bus schedule to how to boil water confounds her. Worse yet, she's about to accept her meddling mother's offer to pay for food and rent. With just a hunch her talents extend beyond that of daughter of privilege, Caila searches for her past. Before she can find it, it finds her. And the handsome azure-eyed stranger who’s saying he knows her is somehow part of it.

Caila always believed there had to be more, but now, on the verge of discovering the truth, she must decide which is worse – never knowing who she really is, or knowing too much.

EXCERPT:

Reese was being too nice. Something was up - their deep conversation the night before, the bubble bath, the tea, turning down her bed and now breakfast? Caila wasn’t suspicious by nature, and in most cases trusted more than she should, but where Reese was concerned she dropped all pretenses and questioned his every move. He was much too calculating to not see opportunity in everything he did. Caila recognized that in him right away. Her mind was now churning with theories. Why, if he was up to something, would he be so blatant with this sudden kindness? Did he think she would not notice?

Then she imagined the most unexpected thing. 

Maybe he wasn’t up to anything at all. Maybe this was another side to the man she detested right from the start. The invader, the man who came to make her life a living hell and push aside her father may not, after all, be the man she believed him to be. But even that theory was short lived. No, she thought, he has a motive.

MY REVIEW
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book reminds me why I love this genre.
Heart-Shaped Stone, it's a Home run! While you are "running" through the pages you can find:
First base: Suspense
Second Base: Romance
Third Base: Twist and Turns
Home: A grand finale
The author gave us a book full of emotions, a Heroine like Caila, a woman who must re invent herself, and a plot full of mystery. I don't want to give too much info, so please, grab a copy!!
Highly recommended for any type of reader, believe me you are not going to regret it.

  6. Hi K - I cannot go into much detail about the name w/o revealing some of the contents of the book, however, I think you'll see why when you read it that there really wasn't much of a choice when it came to titling this book. Is there an actual heart-shaped stone in the book? Yes, but the significance of it is something you must read! :) TY, Arby
