BOOK BLURB / SYNOPSIS

Ella’s struggle...
After losing Nate, trusting her heart to love again seems impossible for Ella. In spite of her family’s desire that she move on with her life, it’s the last thing she wants...especially since she has a connection to Nate’s ghost.

Ethan’s resolve...
Ethan knows about grief. Not only does he counsel people suffering from loss, he’s also lost a loved one. When he meets Ella, he makes it his mission to heal her broken heart. With time the boundary between patient and doctor blurs as Ethan finds himself falling in love. Yet he must suppress his feelings for fear of crossing a line that is based on trust.

Nate’s determination...
Being without Ella while in Afghanistan was hard. Having to say goodbye again is even worse. Although now a ghost, Nate can still make Ella happy when he visits. Their time together is precious, yet fleeting. Although being with Ella again is life’s sweetest gifts, Nate is desperate to heal her troubled mind and broken heart.

An unbreakable bond...
When Ella becomes increasingly reckless and sets off on a dangerous journey into the rugged wilderness, it’s up to both Nate and Ethan to find her. One man represents her past and one her future. One will use his marine training and the other his knowledge of psychology to keep Ella safe and help her...Trust.

Trust - Teaser 1




EXCERPT

I loved Nate with all my heart and the tragedy of losing him became somehow manageable when his ghost visited me. I never would have believed, if it hadn’t happened so many times. But it’s real. It’s possible for me to still be with Nate -- even if nobody else believes me.

Lily things I’m nuts, which is why she was so in favor of my being counseled by Ethan. If my work hadn’t insisted, I would never have agreed to it. And if I had known that being near Ethan would lead to even more heart ache, well...

At least he doesn’t make me feel as if I’m going crazy for saying that I can see Nate. He’s been through something this side of horrible as well. Maybe that’s why he’s the only one who doesn’t look at me with pity. Yeah, I could fall for him.

But in doing so, I would lose Nate. I just know it. I lose a bit of him every day and it just tears me apart to betray his memory, even when he tells me to go on with my life. The only way to figure out this mess of my life is to spend time away from both of them. So that’s just what I’m going to do. Looking out into the distance, I can see the high peaks of these mountains that encompass the National Parks Recreation Area. They extend for miles from inland valleys, up and over the passes, to the ocean shore. One could spend hours and days, weeks and months, and never have the chance to explore every inch of them. It was a perfect escape.


MY REVIEW:

Trust is an emotional love story about love lossed, new love and how to let go of your loved ones.  How do you truly cope when you lose the love of your life?  That is what Ella has been trying to do.  She goes through the motions to try to move on but how can she when Nate's ghost visits her.  Then Ethan is brought into the picture to counsel her and she finds herself falling in love with him. Ethan has experienced loss also and knows how Mia feels.  He feels that he can help her.  Ethan didn't count on falling in love with her.  I love Mia's style of writing.  She adds a touch of paranormal in the book with Nate's ghost.  Each character is able to tell their side of the story and their feelings.  The book has drama and action in it.  Mia makes the characters and their feelings feel so real throughout the book.  I felt like I was part of the story and really felt how deeply the characters felt.

I have never read any books by Mia before but I am glad I read Trust.  I really enjoyed the story and I am so looking forward to reading more of her books.  I love her style of writing and I think she is a wonderful writer.  5 stars
