Review: SING FOR ME by Maggie Clare

Graphic Image designed by Sandra Lopez

Jake Evans isn’t looking for love when he walks into a dive bar while on leave, just a beer and a no-strings hookup. Fiona Flynn isn’t even looking for a date. She’s got a musical career to launch and a past heartache to overcome.

When Jake sees the stunning singer on stage, he knows he wants her – maybe for more than one night. Fiona can’t deny the chemistry between them, and she can’t ignore her growing feelings for the hot sailor with the easy smile.

Their sweet, sexy, long-distance love affair comes to a screeching halt when Jake is injured overseas. Wrecked body and soul, Jake can’t imagine a different kind of life, for himself or with Fiona. But when the unthinkable happens, and Fiona’s life hangs in the balance, Jake will have to rediscover his inner warrior in order to save her.

My review: 4 years ago: Jake was mesmerized by a voice belonging to a beautiful girl. Days prior to his deployment, Jake spends an amazing time with the lovely and talented Fiona that he found himself wanting more. It was just supposed to be temporary—but it was real.

Story between the characters was well-written and enticing. It’s an easy narrative of a long-distance relationship. Over the years, the two really connect on an emotional and physical level. As he fights for his country, she becomes a rising star. The read soon settles into a lackadaisical and comforting rhythm. The days sometimes seem slow and repetitive as the couple ride the ups and downs of drama and emotional turmoil. Through the course, they battle loss, depression, and heart ache, but the love for each other never waned. Although full of compassion, at times, the story felt ordinary and trivial. But things take a surprising twist when Fiona goes missing, making it more alluring toward the end.

A charming mixture of romance and suspense. A nice story!
