ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 6, 2023

He’s mine … don’t ever forget that.

Milo lives in the barn, a cowboy through and through.
I live in a castle, but I’m not a princess.

When the only person who loves me dies, Milo’s there.
As I get older, I no longer look at Milo like a big brother. I look at him like the man God made just for me.

With the first glimpse of freedom from my pathetic excuse for a father, I imagine a future with Milo. I dream of the day when we won’t have to hide our feelings.

But Milo has a secret. He is not free.
The man I love is marrying the woman I hate.

REVIEW:IF THIS IS LOVE by Jewel E Ann is a contemporary, new adult to adult, erotic romance story line focusing on ranch hand Milo Odell, and Indiana ‘Indie’ Iverson Ellington.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives Indie and Milo IF THIS IS LOVE covers approximately twelve years in the life of ranch hand Milo Odell, and Indiana ‘Indie’ Iverson Ellington. Indie Ellington and Milo Odell are the ‘property’ of businessman and ranch owner Fletcher Ellington, and as such have never been free from the tyrannical rule of a powerful man. Indie was raised as the daughter of Fletcher and Ruthie Ellington, and Milo Odell, eight years older than our story line heroine, is nothing more than an indentured servant for the Ellington family but all is not well behind the scenes, and Indie will find solace in the young man with whom she will fall in love. As Indie and Milo’s lives and love spiral out of control, our couple will learn Milo’s future is no longer his own, and Indie will be shuffled off to an all-girls private school so that she is no longer involved with the issues at home. Throughout the years, Indie and Milo will jump in and out of one another’s lives but the proverbial noose around Milo’s neck is growing tighter, and secrets revealed threaten Indie’s tentative hold on her ongoing animosity with the family she has never called her own.

IF THIS IS LOVE is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, love and acceptance, understanding and loss. There are several twists and turns, disagreements and controversy, disputes and blackmail, dissolution and conflict. Nothing and no one are as they appear to be, there is always another layer to the story, to the life and death of everyone concerned. Milo and Indie have promised to love one another no matter where they are but Milo is unable to control his own destiny, with the life of the people he loves targeted for the sins of the past. The premise is dramatic, heart breaking, emotional and startling; the characters are broken, embattled, bitter and lost; the romance and relationship between Milo and Indie are forbidden, destructive, and bewitching- the palpable sexual attraction is heavy and strong. Jewel E Ann has a remarkable way with words-her story telling is both enchanting and fascinating.

Reviewed by Sandy

Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor.

With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.

After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing.

When she’s not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.
