Reviewer’s Thoughts

DROWNING is a fascinating story that will keep you captivated throughout the book.  The type of captivation where you don’t want to put the book down.  In all honesty, you will experience a range of different emotions when you read this story.  You will experience Alice Harrison’s roller coaster ride of emotions and you might find yourself getting a little teary eyed when you read this book.  Intrigued?  Let me tell you a little about Alice Harrison.

Alice Harrison is a young adult who has been drowning in the memories of pain she endured; and her guilt of ruining Molly’s (half sister) life.  Alice was tortured in ways you cannot imagine and she endured this cruelty by a very powerful man.  Her guilt stems from Molly’s accident.  Alice challenged Molly to jump off a cliff, which left her disabled and she can’t seem to forgive herself for the incident.  Alice needs to feel the rush of being on the edge.  The need to avoid the memories and pain she endured.  She has been running from her past, but this all changes when she meets Seth James.

Alice and Seth happen to live in the same swanky condo building.  Both have experienced pain and turmoil, but in different ways.  Neither one of them is looking for love, but their chemistry and connection is undeniable.  It’s almost as if they know each other’s anguish and guilt.  They guard their emotions and resist showing any vulnerability.  They both know what pain can do to your soul and fear what will happen if they allow their feelings to take over.  Alice also has it in her mind that she destroys everything good in her life, while Seth does not want the added stress of a relationship.

Although Alice and Seth are not looking for love, they cannot deny the bond and sexual desire.  Will they knock down their walls, learn to trust, and allow each other to fall in love?  Alice Harrison may have been drowning all her life, but will Seth James be her lifeline?  You will just have to read this fascinating story to find out (wink).

Rachel Firasek provides an attention grabbing story. She does a remarkable job depicting the characters.  The content is deep, so you might find yourself getting a little teary eyed.  I’m looking forward to Rachel Firasek’s next book and I guarantee you will as well.

Rachel Firasek spends her days daydreaming of stories and her nights putting the ideas to ink. She has spent a dull life following the rules, meeting deadlines, and toeing the line, but in her made up worlds, she can let the wild side loose. Her wonderful husband and three children support her love of the written word and only ask for the occasional American Idol or Swamp People quality hour.

She has a philosophy about love. It must devastate or it isn’t truly worth loving. She hopes that you all find your devastating love and cling to it with all your heart!
