Picture It (Scorching Internet Connections Book 1) - Kindle edition by McKewen, Jana . Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

Evie’s recovering from a tragic loss and the story picks up when she’s on the cusp of rejoining life; of doing fun things and allowing herself to find enjoyment in them. Of course, it helps to have a really good friend, and in her case, it’s Danny. I adore their relationship and what an important secondary character he turns out to be. There’s nothing I didn’t like about Danny. I wish I knew someone like him.

Ethan is a surprise. He’s presented as a rich, talented, good looking singer who seems to have the Midas Touch – he’s successful with anything he does. The author makes it clear that he works hard to get where he is, but he is also at a pivotal moment in his life. Fame has its downsides and what he needs is balance. But where can he find it, and what will it look like? The most endearing and cute thing about him is his puppy. The author shared just enough for me to get the impression that Ethan really adores his furry buddy.

Ms. Easton’s writing is able to capture the nuances of emotion and paints them with words so readers get the feeling they’re experiencing them too. The breathless anticipation, the yearning and the joys of discovering they are more than physically compatible – it’s off the charts fantastic. Yes, the bedroom door is open but it’s not described like a reader is standing over them, giving a narration of details. No, I found just enough to be happy they had such wonderful satisfying sparks between them. I was happy that they were happy.

The conflict is basic. Can she get beyond her loss and grab the promise of a future filled with love? Can Ethan trust that their budding relationship is strong enough to trust her with his secrets? That what he feels is real and could it survive long distances and separation? Do they each feel for each other what they think they feel for the other? Such basic, human questions that if answered correctly can lead to a happiness only found in movies.

I should give warning – there are tears. Not mine though. No. The characters experience a catharsis or two and with emotions that passionate and deep, tears are a release and part of the healing.

I didn’t get all the movie lines in the book but I totally got the Horatio Alger reference. It was quite clever of the author; being able to weave quotes throughout the dialogue as part of the dialogue. It was fun.

The story wraps up with not only an HEA for Evie but for Danny too. I am enchanted with how upbeat, positive, romantic and tender this novel is and heartily recommend this book to anyone looking for a well told, feel-good romance.

Really lovely review from Long & Short Reviews Blog! This was so nice to see.

Why yes, Evie + Ethan do sing a duet during their whirlwind weekend romance. Did you think I’d write a Broadway romance novel without it?

Which Broadway star would you want to sing a duet with?
