Book Review Express 5 Star Review Corner brings you
“Pursuing Elena” book 2 from Sam Cheever’s La Fortuna DeVitis Series – Releases March 17th

Synopsis:

Elena has no plans for romance.Her plate is full with trying to stay alive, getting to know the new sibling in her life, and solving a murder that seems to have been dropped on the DeVitis family’s doorstep. She’s spent her entire adult life trying to prove that she’s a smart and capable woman who’s able to take care of herself. But ultimately, when the danger that’s dogged her for as long as she can remember suddenly becomes overwhelming, will Elena need to depend on the man with bedroom eyes and movie star good looks who keeps inserting himself into her life, claiming to have only her safety in mind?

Erik didn’t ask to be given the job of protecting Elena DeVitis. She’s the most stubborn, difficult woman he’s ever met. But despite her hard outer shell, and the way she constantly keeps him at arm’s length, there’s a certain vulnerability in the beautiful heiress’s eyes. He knows she’s fighting to appear strong and self-sufficient, but he’s worried for her life. And beyond that, he’s concerned about the feelings between them, which are growing stronger by the moment.

A conspiracy, a murder, an ongoing pursuit. Everything seems to be coming to a head. And as it does, members of the DeVitis family will be put into new and deadly situations. And there remains at least one life-changing surprise for them all.

Review By Barbara:

What an exciting page turner Pursuing Elena is! Vol. 2 of the series continues as Elena attempts to find the culprits behind the strange murders, the Foundations possible connection to them as well as finding out who is putting her family and those around them in danger. On top of that, she is fighting her feelings for her bodyguard Erik; not wanting to endanger him or lose her independence. However Erik has his own opinions of Elena pushing him away while fighting himself to remember he has a job to do (the banter between these too is an added bonus).

Pursuing Elen has twists I never saw coming with a suspenseful storyline that kept me on the edge of my seat. I can truthfully say it was all I could do to not call in sick so that I could finish the book in just one sitting. Ms. Cheever has written a phenomenal storyline that will suck you in and keep you glued to your ereaders. What Elena and Erik go through along with the rest of the Devitis family and staff is both heart-stopping and heartwarming as they all pull together to solve the mysterious happenings around them.

2 Thumbs Up for an awesome “must read” book/series and on a personal note – OMG bring on Vol. 3 asap I just have to know what happens next!!!
