After finding her fianc? in bed with another woman, Candace, a twenty-something up-and-coming romance novelist with a deadline, takes off for a friend's vacation home in Tahoe. The good news? She'll share the place with fellow house guest, Logan, her best friend Eric's latest lover. Except...Logan, the nearly-irresistible-to-women, burned out photographer, isn't Eric's lover. Not now, not ever. He's hiding out licking personal wounds, and before he's allowed anywhere near Candace, he's sworn off her. No problem. Except... There's something about Candace. She's not simply beautiful and enticingly off-limits. It's in the way she doesn't flirt with him. It's the way she treats him like he isn't a shallow pleasure-seeker. In the way, somehow, she brings peace to his world-weary soul. Too bad she thinks he's gay. But even if he can clear that hurdle, can he really entrust Candace's heart to his own haphazard keeping?

Ack. How do I do this? I genuinely thought this might be a book I'd enjoy, and I really hate giving bad ratings, but here goes...
I love romance. I love supporting indie authors. I love the forced proximity trope. I love the idea of Candace and Logan misunderstanding each other. I love Logan's backstory and Candace's childhood ghosts. The story started out really sweet and perfect. The two of them talking and trying to understand each other were the best. But then it begins to take a turn with more and more of their interactions overshadowed with shallow sexual desires. Yes, of course there should be attraction in romance. But whatever was between Logan and Candace grew to be much too graphic and eventually turned undeniably erotic.
It's usually easy to pick out works of erotica. Dark cover designs with sensual titles featuring shirtless men, women wearing revealing dresses...or both. Lover's Leap, on the other hand, looks like it could've been a Harlequin Love Inspired story for all its cover shows. Yes, I know that I probably should've skimmed the pages to see what was ahead or at least read a few reviews from other readers before starting this, but I just can't help but feel a little disappointed.
This story could've been just as powerful without half of the sexual tension. In fact, I would go as far as to say that the "lust" (in the book's own words) took away from the depth of the relationship. Lust is but a carnal, almost animalistic desire. It is not love. Marriages cannot survive on physical attraction. Relationships cannot survive on physical attraction.
The author is certainly talented. She's a great writer, and she definitely deserves readers and attention. She made Logan and Candace feel real to me. I'm sure that some readers will enjoy reading Lover's Leap, but I personally can't stand by it. Still, I'm thankful to the author for sending me a copy of her book, though. I might drop this off at a Little Free Library sometime, but I had to stop myself from finishing it myself.
