I’ve had the honor of following Luna Lopez from the beginning. Starting with her debut novella, First Kiss. Her debut was just a taste of the spectacular writing she has unleashed with her new full length novel, Where My Heart Lies.

Blogging has given me the opportunity to step outside of my self-imposed reading boundaries. Luna’s stories of lesbian relationships have introduced me to a romance genre I would never have searched out on my own. I, like a lot of readers, get into a comfortable reading zone and stick with it. The tried and true theory. I am glad I took the chance to step out of my reading comfort zone by reading Ms. Lopez’s books.

This was the third book I’ve read by Luna Lopez. Where My Heart Lies grabbed my attention immediately in the first chapter while Willow is travelling home to see her family. The base she sets in the first chapter leads perfectly into the story keeping you interested as the story unfolds.

The central character of Where My Heart Lies, Willow, has a lot going on. In the first chapter you will learn many details about Willow and her family which made it hard to put my kindle down. I was invested in all of them quickly and needed to know more. Especially about Willow’s mom.

Without a doubt Willow’s mom, Valerie was a side character deserving of her own sassy story. Their mother, daughter relationship isn’t always great, but it’s always worth a good chuckle.

The humor riddled throughout the story caused me to laugh out loud many times. I feel it is only right to warn you. Don’t sip on any drinks while reading unless your E-reader is waterproof. Just don’t if its paperback.

When originally picking up this book, I had a preconceived notion as to how this story would go. Girl meets Girl and they have a relationship. Some sort of spat in the middle, they make up, and then move on. It’s a romance so that’s how romance’s are written right?

Well part of it was right until Ms. Lopez threw in a twist which knocked me on my butt. A twist that had me in tears multiple times. Luna Lopez drew emotions from me while reading this story keeping me on my toes and a stack of tissues nearby.

Without giving anything away I will say, I left this story with a pit in my stomach I never expected.

For me, a sign of a great book is when the author has run my emotions through a wringer. The kind where you turn the last page, give a huge sigh because now your head and heart get a rest from the wild ride it was just on.

However, you find you want to get back in line waiting for the author's next release so can jump on that emotional rollercoaster again.

Very well written. Entertaining Story. Great characters.
