Title: Chica Bella
Author: Carly Fall
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
I had the opportunity to read Chica Bella by Carly Fall. Let me tell you, it was really good. I liked that it was short and sweet, and it was written so well. I loved the story! I was a wonderful love story with suspense. I think my favorite character was Landon, because he is very protective, and loving at the same time. I give this book 4 out of 5 book-a-saur paws.
Blurb
Landon “Blackhawk” Walker is ready to get out of the Navy SEALs. He has
seen and done enough, and can’t wait to get to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where
three tasks await him: get back into civilian mode, take a boat out to the El
Arco Rocks, and win back the heart of the woman he lost because of his career.Maya Gonzalez has tired of the heartbreak that comes with Landon’s deployments year after year. When he walks back into her life, she cannot deny her heart, despite her reservations.
As they lose themselves in each other and the beauty of Cabo, their
passion is rekindled once again, but Maya knows
that one phone call means deployment for Landon, putting an end to their
reunion, and possibly their relationship.
Excerpt
“Where
were you?” she finally asked, her voice quiet.
“Afghanistan.”
He
didn’t look at her, but he felt her body tense next to his. “Were you hurt?”
He
shrugged, but then thought better of trying to blow off her questions. Maya had
always said she wanted nothing but honesty from him, and he had been the one to
offer this Q&A.
“I
took some shrapnel in my chest, but it was all superficial.” He gazed down at
her as she studied his chest as if she could see the wounds he was talking
about.
“Did
you kill?” she whispered, her stare never leaving his chest.
Dammit.
This was the part he hated because she abhorred violence, but killing was his
job. If he didn’t take out the bad guys, they would kill American soldiers, and
he would be damned if that happened on his watch. “Yes.”
She
closed her eyes for a moment.
“Did
you think of me?”
“Oh,
God, Maya.” He put his finger under her chin and turned her face to his. Her
brown eyes sparkled with tears that made his heart feel as though it might quit
beating. “Maya, it’s always you. It’s thinking of you that made me want to stay
alive. It’s the thought of your smile, your face, your body pressed up against
mine that kept me warm at night, the sound of your laughter that made me smile
when I felt like I couldn’t smile again. Maya....”
He
didn’t know what else to say, so he did what he had wanted to do since the day
he left her almost a year ago. He brought his lips to hers.
