Finding love

In THEN I FOUND YOU, author Simona Taylor introduces readers to ex-professional football player turned security consultant, Damon Saint Rose. Damon and his partner, Leshawn, have a very successful business in the field of security. In fact, with the exception of one very serious catastrophe, things are running smoothly, as long as Damon stays away from female clients and all thoughts of love. Leshawn, on the other hand, decides to help another friend in need, which causes him to take an assignment for Damon that involves protecting a woman. The woman is none other than Kenya Reese, a budding celebrity in the movie industry who has been painted unjustly as a sexual fiend in the tabloids. At first, Damon is adamantly opposed to providing security services for Kenya, but Leshawn talks him into it, and he finally agrees. Kenya's reputation is taking a beating in the press. After firing her previous manager and lover, some awful things have found there way into the press about her. But none of the publicity has been bad enough to nose-dive her career, yet. With all that is going on in her life professionally, someone is also trying to destroy her family. Against the advice of her current manager, she goes to Trinidad to confront the source of her anguish. When she arrives at the airport in a bad disguise, she literally bumps into Damon, who promptly informs her that he is the bodyguard her manager hired. Of course, sparks fly, but Damon doesn't relent, and they make it to Trinidad where those sparks turn into a mutual attraction. As Damon helps Kenya confront her fears of someone trying to harm her and her family, he must also confront that which has made him a prisoner of his own guilt and fear. Simona Taylor has written a heart-warming, romantic tale about finding love in the least likely of circumstances. With her pen, the author whisked the two main characters and readers away to the beautiful island of Trinidad, giving us all a taste of the island. Although the imagery was magnificent, I did not get completely lost in it and forget that the characters had some serious issues and flaws to deal with. He was trapped in the past and needed to learn how to let go. She was trapped in the present and needed to learn how to love and trust again. And they both needed to find each other. This was a very nice and cozy read. Reviewed by Brenda M. Lisbon of The RAWSISTAZ™ Reviewers
