In current day New Orleans, Maggie Rivard is the general manager of a prestigious hotel in the French Quarter. Smart, successful and beautiful, she works hard to keep The Colonial Hotel running smoothly. Unfortunately, her narcissistic boss doesn't make it easy. Her sad excuse for a love life has also left her feeling depressed. But these issues are over shadowed when the dreams come. Exhausted from the vivid, chaotic dreams, she remembers a long ago encounter that she refuses to delve into. For Maggie, words like destiny and fate do not belong in her world; she controls her own life.
A native New Orleanian, Liam Kavanaugh is a structural engineer living in New York. In the early stages of his career, he was excited to travel the world for his job. Seeing new places and experiencing new cultures was amazing. As he watches his friends and family settle down, he realizes that he might be missing out on putting down roots. However, he has never met a single woman who has made him want to change his globetrotting occupation.
Maggie and Liam meet when he is hired to do a structural assessment of her beloved hotel. The two feel the instant chemistry, but Maggie's practical side tells her not to fall for the tall, dark and handsome engineer. Alternatively, Liam's adventuresome side is thinking that she is worth the pursuit. As their relationship grows, an unusual connection develops. This connection triggers a deep-rooted centuries old magic, which once started can only end in death.
Putting her stubbornness and pride aside, Maggie reluctantly seeks out Emeline, a voodoo priestess, who told her seventeen years earlier that her future was predestined. With time running out as their combined feelings grow stronger every day, will they be given the chance to change their curse altered fate in this lifetime.
Started reading Love Tormented yesterday and literally couldn't put it down...stayed up 'til 3am to finish it! Totally worth it. It had me hooked right from the first page. I've read many books that it takes at least a chapter to really grab your interest, so this was a nice change. I have also read some well known published romance/erotica authors and I honestly feel that you are right up there with them and definitely better than some others I have read!
The sex/love scenes were very well written in that there is enough details to make your tummy flutter (and cheeks flush) without being crude or cringey, but instead classy. You also change up the vocabulary and details enough in these passages so readers don't get bored of hearing the same descriptions and terms over and over again.
And OMG those dream sequences! What a wonderful way to add angst needed to any good romance story. Ava and Kolton's story was so emotional for me I thought I'd cry. I rarely cry during movies or reading books to that says something. Although you don't get finish their story, it is easy for the reader to conclude for themselves what happens. I know my mind probably made it so much worse than if you actually wrote out the details.
I also love how every single character (even minor ones). They came to life for me and could almost hear most of their voices especially Margaret!

Rewriting Love is a refreshing and enjoyable read. The main characters are imperfect but relatable. Lana has a good handle on dialogue and it's an easy read, reaffirming our belief that true love is actually out there for each of us. I need to find my own Jake! Deb S.
