Siri Enterprises, 2008
387 Pages, Paperback, $12.95
ISBN:
0980106605
Genre:
Fiction
RAW Rating: 4.5 (out of 5)
When Jeffrey “JD” Harrison first met Tracy Washington, she was the college roommate of his younger sister. The effect she had on him was unsettling, but he considered her too young. Years later, they are reunited as JD takes a case, as the District Attorney, that involves her brother. This time he takes the role as Tracy’s protector and eventually, her lover. JD is a womanizer and Tracy has no experience in love, but, despite several odds, they manage to build a relationship that most folks only dream of.
I found it hard to believe this is the first effort by Bolling. ONCE YOU’VE TOUCHED THE HEART is very well-written with attention to detail. That may have been the only flaw with the novel since the minute details made for a lengthy book. Nevertheless, the characters are three-dimensional, the plot is well-developed and the action is non-stop. Readers may pick this one up thinking it is your average romance, but it is so much more. Bolling is following with a sequel, which I will be adding to my book pile.
