Tempting Faye - Book One (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Summertime 2000, and for meek-mannered florist, Faye Raleigh, her fate has an affinity with the number eight. When celebrating her friend’s birthday in Essex, during the midnight hour of July 8th, Faye encounters her first love, Alexei Lockhart. Exactly eight years since she last saw him, he’s mixing up the music and rousing mixed emotions in Faye. Otherwise engaged, she is spurred to push things forward with her fiancé, and get a handle on her secret affliction. In her endeavours to ‘woman up’ Faye is guided to reflect on her past, back to when abandoned by her father at the age of eight. Faye also bravely attempts to vivify her love life. From there on, her journey of re-evaluation and reinvention continues to unfold, and is further complicated when another ‘old face’ shows up, seeking revenge, forgiveness and acceptance. Faye’s humdrum life becomes a salvo of exciting spontaneity with hideous consequences, and she digs deep to try and find a place in her heart for those who have betrayed and shocked her. Packed with calamity, drama and colourful characters - trying to overcome their fixations, rivalries, and losses, ‘Tempting Faye’ is a realistic and poignant portrayal of self-discovery and sacrifices between friends, family and lovers - incited through synchronistic events. The lengths people will go to tempt others in satiating their needs. As Faye and those she gets close to again, deal with dilemmas that shape their twenty-something adulthood, Faye is closer to learning the ‘truth’ about her father as the cruellest twists of fate are yet to surface.
