DRAW ME CLOSE is book three in the Hearts and Crafts
series
by Nicole Michaels. Reading this story has made me
curious to go back and read the previous books in the
series, but I was still able to follow along without
having read them. DRAW ME CLOSE wouldn't be as
mesmerizing a story if Nicole Michaels had not decided to
tell the story from alternate perspectives the way she
has. There is so much history between the hero and
heroine that having the characters tell their own stories
gives the reader valuable insight into their way of
thinking.
After eight years apart, fate seems to have had a hand in
bringing Lindsey Morales and Derek Walsh together again.
Lindsey is friends with bride-to-be Anne, and Derek is
friends with groom-to-be Mike—chaos and much
frustration ensues. I love books with a hero and heroine
who have a past. There is so much pain, as well as love,
that still connects Lindsey and Derek after so much time
has past. I think Nicole Michaels does a superb job
of capturing all of the drama and swirl of strong
emotions, without having things spiral out of control and
take a toxic turn. Lindsey and Derek throw each other off
balance without meaning to, and I like that they are on
an equal footing in that respect. Lindsey and Derek are
both incredibly complex and flawed characters. Their
setbacks and victories had me glued to the page and
fretting over the possible outcomes for the characters. I
love the feeling of catharsis Lindsey and Derek have
in DRAW ME CLOSE.
DRAW ME CLOSE is a realistic yet wonderfully romantic
story of two people who get a second chance at love.
Having a history together gives this romance added depth
and makes the passion hotter. Nicole Michaels does a
brilliant job of stretching the sexual tension until the
hero and heroine are pushed to the limit and give in to
their desires. Nicole Michaels writes an ending that does
justice to the couple and is unique to them. The
supporting characters, like Derek's young son as well as
friends and family, add to the enjoyment of the story
without distracting from the romance. I look forward to
the next book by Nicole Michaels.
