Book Review: Power of Love by Anne Conley
About the Author:
Anne has written her entire life and has the boxes of angst-filled journals and poetry to prove it. She's been writing for public consumption for the last four years. Currently she is writing two romance series. In Stories of Serendipity, she explores real people living real lives in small town Texas in a contemporary romance setting. In The Four Winds, she chronicles God's four closest archangels, Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael, falling in love and becoming human. She lives in rural East Texas with her husband and children in her own private oasis, where she prides herself in her complete lack of social skills, choosing instead to live with the people inside her head.
Power of Love
(Book 1 in the Book B!tches Series)
Welcome to Mystic, Texas, where the past stays alive in more ways than one. Vanessa Power, a budding Indie Romance author, believes the town is calling her name, being the new life and fresh start she’s craving. She’s met an amazing group of women who have a regular book club, reading only Indie Authors. Unfortunately, her new house is in worse shape than she thought and holds more mysteries than she’s prepared for. And then there’s the handyman. Linc Ward holds more mysteries than her house and the town combined, with a past he won’t reveal in a package which is built for nothing short of sin. Linc is captivated by his new boss, the only person in town who will give him a job, but only because she doesn’t know he’s an ex-con. Can he keep his past locked away, while at the same time indulging in his fantasies with the pleasantly curvy and deliciously sexy Vanessa? Probably not. They are both looking for a new start in life. Will they be able to find it together? Or will something sinister keep them apart? Warning*** This book contains one completed arc of the main characters, but the overall mystery remains unsolved for future books in the series. Some stories weren't meant to be told in one book.

Review: 4 out of 5 ****
Personally, I thought Power of Love was a great book, and probably the best one Anne Conley has written since Craze (Pierce Security Series). The characters, Linc and Vanessa, had great chemistry together, the Book B!tches were very amusing and added to the story, and the plot itself was pretty amazing. My only criticism, is that I felt there were two crucial parts that were a bit rushed(both occur much later in the story, so I won't give them away).
