Adam (of the Archers) Kindle Edition

by Lena Bourne (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 65 ratings
**Full length and standalone new adult romance novel.**

One week spent together in a secluded cabin. Two people scarred by their pasts. Can a chance encounter lead to love? Or is it just a moment in time, insignificant once it passes.

Taylor has just returned from a romantic vacation with her boyfriend. But instead of an “I miss you!” text from him, she gets one that’s clearly meant for another woman. Which is the only reason she lets a hot stranger kiss her on the sidewalk. It’s the one and only time they’ll ever see each other, so why not?
Adam is used to living life on his own terms, from leaving home at 16 to join the military, to returning now, eight years later, to take care of his mother. After that, he’s packing up and leaving again. The last thing he planned on was falling in love with a girl at first sight. But there she was, and now Taylor’s all he can think of.

They may be perfect for each other, but they both have pasts that will not stay buried, no matter how much they want them to. And when Adam’s dark past comes crashing between them, one week seems like a very short time. Even if it is a week of love, pleasure, and belonging like neither of them has known before.

Genre: BBW Romance, Military romance, New Adult Romance,

    This is my first book I've read by Lena Bourne. This book deals with relationship abuse, self esteem issues and meeting someone special when you least expect it. The book drWs you into the story and keeps you turning the pages. I voluntarily received this book to review for my honest opinion.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed the story but found the writing a bit difficult
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2016
    This was a really easy page flipping read. At first it was hard for me to start but once I did I had a pretty easy time of just ambling at a nice pace through the pages. It’s going to sound bad when i say this but I LOVE how realistic Adam is. Hes *ucked up but he knows it. He knows he has issues and he tries so hard to reign them in and keep it under control. I enjoyed his development especially because I have a lot of military men in my life as it is so i related well to him. As for Taylor well, I hope that we get to see more of her because I don’t think she is done growing. I didn’t really like her and couldn’t put my finger on it until Henry shows up and then it hit me! I was just as obedient and self deprecating for the longest time. I’m a pretty chunky size 18 except it took me a long time to accept myself. Taylor had some pretty similar self issues and you can see the struggle she goes through trying to NOT put herself down. I appreciated this point of view from the author because it is so hard to really show this issue without over blowing the situation.

    Now, I liked this story and it was sweet but i felt like the ending was just too abrupt. It went from yes were back together straight to 3 months later at the hearing and I just wish that maybe there was either more or that it had ended in front of the diner and picked up in another book. I get it cliffhangers happen and they don’t upset me like some however I was just confused when this ending came around. I definitely thought there was more story coming my way but there wasn’t!

    I wasn’t really upset by this because I understand Authors are human too; If i liked the story less then i honestly probably wouldn’t be as nice about this but the story was good but the way it was written could be confusing at times. There would be some really choppy sentences and spelling errors that would make me double or triple take what I had just read. For me this isn’t a deal breaker but it did make some scenes more confusing and harder to read. I really hope the second one is edited a bit more just to make my luxurious page turning even easier.

    Overall I enjoyed the book and would read the next one in the series out of just plain old curiosity and because I LOVE to see an author grow in their writing as well as reading about the characters.

    I rated it on the blog as a 2.5

    4.0 out of 5 stars A man that has dark secrets, skeletons, and need to fight for his country. Is there anything else for this man?
    Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2016
    *I received an ARC copy in return of my honest review^
    This story had tons of twists and turns from the get go. I loved that I was enveloped into the story as soon as I started. It started when two strangers met up by accident ( or by fate ) outside of a bar. The electricity around them has the need to be pulled in. Then it happens, the kiss that shook them to the core. How can two strangers have that kind of passion off the bat? You need to get this book to find out.

    Adam was discharged from the Marines. He always lived on the high of the war. He was always good at it. While it seemed everyone else around him dies in combat, or in the past, he continues to come out alive. He lives in the dark almost all his life. His family situation was never good. But behind the dark, this military man has a heart. He is kind and protective to those he loves. That is why he went back home to take care of his mom, even though there are skeletons and pain he still had there. Can Adam ever can forgive himself?

    Taylor has done what she has wanted, but her parents always felt she was just wasting her life away. She has a gut feeling her boyfriend is cheating on her, so she calls for quits. After that kiss, Adam is all she can think of. She leaves to a family cabin away from her life and guess what happens. Fate comes knocking on her door and there stands Adam. Can Taylor really be the one to stand up to his anger, pain, and his love all at once. It can be overbearing once you get it all.
    This was a great read and could not be happier that there will be more books to come along in the series.
