I give Blossom a five star review. Maia finds out she is adopted which leads to a adventure. But not an adventure to find her real parents, but to discover a ew world. Great characters. Maia finds romance, fights battles, and learns to live in both worlds. Thanks, Jennifer, for a good read.
Excerpt
A bed of orange,
red and yellow flowers envelop me in my forest bed. The sweet song of the
bluebirds rouses me from my sleep. All around me I see trees and feel at peace.
“Maia,” I hear whispered behind me. “Come and find me Maia.” I turn and begin
my search for the melodic voice that calls to me. His voice is getting farther
away and now I am running to find him. The greens and oranges fade to browns
and whites as I run through fall and into winter. His voice is getting louder,
“Maia.” As I round the next snow capped tree I come face to face with beautiful
silver eyes.
“You know my name.
You were calling me.” I say in a breathy whisper afraid to disturb the peace of
the forest.
“I know not only
your name, but you. It is almost time for you to come home. We have all missed
you.”
“But I don’t know
you. How can you miss me?”
“It will all make
sense in time Maia.”
He leans in close
and kisses my cheek. The intoxicating smells of ylang ylang and pine enter my
nose and send my nerves into a tizzy. His kiss is soft, almost as if a
butterfly had landed on my cheek. The feel of his breath on my face sends the
butterflies from my cheek to my stomach.
“Can I at least
know your name?”
“Heaton, young Maia.
My name is Heaton. I must leave you now. We will meet again soon.”
Author Bio:
One day while slaving away at her monotonous day job,
Jennifer Martinez found her true calling. Like a firefly in the night, the
pages called to her. Once she caught the bug there was no stopping it. Her
fingers flew furiously across the keyboard winding tales of love, mystery and
anger. She snapped out of her reverie to find herself still behind the desk but
at least she knew who she was… Author Jennifer Martinez.
I like to think of myself as a beautiful conundrum. When I
am not writing, I can be found surrounded by my amazing family and 4 dogs or
volunteering at a local animal rescue. I love who I am and don’t mind at all
when I get strange looks from people. I am a tattoo covered, child and animal
lover who looks forward to destroying peoples preconceived notions of what
“someone like me” would be interested in. You only live life once… you may as
well make it interesting.
I love to get lost in a good book and hope that everyone
will get lost in mine.
