Synopsis
What do you do when your whole life is played out as atonement for someone else’s mistakes?
Lola has spent her life in the shadow of her older brother, until one day he does the unforgiveable and is disowned from the family. Now her parents are putting pressure on her to get married, have children, and live the perfect life. If she can do all this, maybe it will wash away the guilt they harbor for her brother’s mistakes. She’s completely set against it, and refuses to ever fall in love. Until Drake Thomas knocks on her door.
What do you do when the one person you trust the least is yourself?
Ever since Drake was a boy he’s been alone. That was the way he wanted it. His father was abusive and he learned at a very young age that he has the same anger living inside of him. Terrified that he’ll one day become the man who ruined his life, he stays away from relationships of any kind.
Will they be able to move past their misconceptions about themselves and each other, or will they learn that not only can they love, but together they are stronger? Only the Universe knows.

My Review:
This story is about a guy who grew up watching domestic abuse. Met and fell in love with a great girl, who he thought he wasn't good enough for.What I did like about the story is Lola. She is a very strong, independent, caring and loving woman. She makes a great main character for this story.
Drake, he is very loyal but stubborn in a way. He was so not ready to start a relationship with Lola when this story began almost like he wasn't grown up enough to accept anything other than sexual.
But as everyone knows you can't help when or who you fall in love with.
I do like how the relationship grows, but I am over the "I'm Leaving cause I don't know what to do, or how to handle what just happened" that is what Drake does a couple of times. And that I'm leaving crap is just so over done already.
So that is one thing I didn't like, the other is the domestic violence. I know it wasn't much, but it was more than enough for me. Maybe because it hits to close to home for me, but I can't even read a paragraph about it before I am tuned out. I did like that Drake came in to save Lola, that brought my liking of him up a few notches.
About the Author
I am a wife of a U.S Army Soldier and mother of a beautiful little girl. I work for the Wyoming Department of Revenue in Cheyenne Wyoming, and no we don't still ride horses out here. I've been in love with reading since I first discovered the Harry Potter series in 4th grade. I don't just read a good book I devour it. After reading hundreds of novels I finally bit the bullet and sat down to write one of my own. I had an idea in my head and as soon as I started writing, the story seemed to play out right infront of me. Nothing has ever felt so natural. About 10 chapters into it I decided that I was going to take the plunge and get it self published as an Ebook. "Sapphire Universe" is a Contemporary Romance novel for adults, because lets face it, I'm female. Romance is what I like to read so it's what I'm going to write. Thank you so much for your support, and I can't wait for you to read The Universe Series.
