Genre: a contemporary romance with a crime subplot.

Blurb:
A mayor’s daughter.

Against All Odds

Against All Odds is out now + free with Kindle Unlimited!
To give you a taste, here is the prologue:

Life is a series of decisions. Whether we turn left or right in the street, choose one bus or another, take the elevator or the stairs, it’s all a matter of choice. Such a random order of choices brought me one spring day to my father’s office building at exactly 10 a.m.
A man passed by me on the street, a man I didn’t even notice.
A stranger.
A nobody.
Just one of the many I passed by that day.
The only difference between him and the rest of the world was that he would be the love of my life, and I didn’t have a clue.

Hi Alex! I just finished your book, and it was pretty good. However, I feel like there were several plots going on that could have been explored more. It seemed like you would start on something, then as you were getting good, you went another direction. Ally never fully tells Tristian what the conversation with her fathers kidnappers is, doesn’t explain about the deposit box, you never find out what happened to the gun, or if Ally ever tells him what she heard in the hospital. It kept me wanting more, but only because I wanted the scenes played out. What happened to “smelly melly”? Did she stop hitting on Tristian? What happened to the investigation that caused her to leave him? So many questions.
Another thing that I picked up on was that Ally didn’t seem to stay consistent about work. At one point she quits her father’s company, but then after she forces Tristian out she goes to the office to forget him? I don’t quite see it working that way. It’s like saying she quit was just another line that didn’t need in there.
The other thing that bothered me was the timeline. How long did this happen? Other than Tristian being in the hospital, and the mention of a “it’s been a long week without you” you don’t actually know. Maybe mention changing of seasons, or events pertaining to a specific time, would help us cement a timeframe. Otherwise it seems like the book was based around a few short weeks.

All in all it was an enjoyable read, although a tad confusing. I think that you do have the opportunity to expand on several of your characters in the future, just remember to button their stories up.

Hi April, and thank you for your kind words, as well as all the suggestions you've made. This is my first foray into crime, so I'm sure there's a lot to be improved on. I must admit that I was nervous about my plot having too many holes, and since the book is long, I tried really hard to piece all the subplots together. Thank you again and happy reading!
