Just Beginning by Theresa Rizzo – a Review

Amazon / Barnes & Noble / The Book Depository / BAM

Description:
Twenty-something Jenny Campbell’s life has been a series of screw-ups, and the latest one endangered her little brother’s life. But when she falls for sophisticated Gabe Harrison, she has a chance to turn her life around…if she can keep her past a secret.

Gabe’s career as a successful doctor has left just enough time for his teenage children and little else. But when beautiful, vivacious Jenny comes along, she breathes love and happiness into his lonely life. There’s only one problem: their families are opposed to their relationship. Money and age differences mean nothing to Gabe as long as they have trust, love, and respect.

But can two out of three be good enough?

Review:

5 out of 5 for this reader folks!

Last March I did a review of Theresa Rizzo‘s novel Just Destiny and that was one novel that stuck with me. It was absolutely heart wrenching. So when I was asked to review this novella Just Beginning I jumped at the chance. This is the story of how Jenny and Gabe came to be.

Jenny first meets Gabe at her brothers hospital bedside and they are both quite smitten with each other right away. Jenny is much younger than Gabe and is considered a free spirited, lonely and troubled young lady. Gabe is the exact opposite, being a successful surgeon, divorcee with two older kids. Well you know what they say about opposites … LOL Soon this relationship blooms and the other finds complimentary traits that paths a road for a future together. Family has other plans however, and soon these two are jumping hurdles to be together. Through sheer determination and love, they have to fight to be together and prove to all that they are meant to be.

Not giving you much to the plot (if you read my reviews, you know I hate doing that .. WINK) but if you have read Just Destiny you will truely enjoy reading how these two came to be. These two have a tragic future so to soak in their happy and love in this prequel was joyful. My heart ached through the whole thing however knowing what was to come and I can’t help but wonder if maybe I’d of enjoyed this novella less if I hadn’t known what was to come. I found I treasured this precious time with this couple. I really despised the harsh stands their families took when these two came to be and I wished that small minded people would just piss off already.

BRAVO once again Theresa Rizzo … you pull my heart strings every single time .. and while this was one of your lighter reads I thank you for taking me to a special place that let me revel in pure love.

HAPPY READING! 🙂
