Noah's Journey - Book Review

By C.A. Harms

Synopsis

The years that were taken can never be repaid.
The memories stolen can never be returned.
But I had to move forward…for him, my son.

Noah had spent years wondering what he could have done differently. Wondering what he’d done wrong to make Stacey leave. The heartache from her absence and the what-ifs of their past eventually turned to anger—and then disgust.

It took years for him to move on, and once he did, his past came thundering back, revealing a secret.

A secret that would forever change his future.

Alena had waited for the chance to have more with Noah. He was an enigma, a man of mystery, yet she wasn’t quite ready to give up on him. She knew there was more to him than what he allowed those around him to see. She was drawn to his charm and his calm nature. With an uprooted past of her own, she craved a little stability more than anything. But when things between them finally begin to grow into more, their relationship is tested.

Will it all be too much for Alena to handle?
Or will she decide to stay and be a part of…Noah’s Journey?

Review

Noah and Alena have just finished their first date when Noah’s ex⎯Stacey⎯comes back into town with his young son in tow. A son he never knew about. Secrets. Betrayal. A possible love triangle. Sounds like a winner. But I have found with C.A. Harms that there’s always one book in a series that doesn’t win me over, and in this series it’s NOAH’S JOURNEY. I was expecting to see a lot of angst and conflict in this story, and while there was some, I thought there wasn’t nearly enough given the volatile situation. The story moves very fast, lacks depth and I didn’t get emotionally invested in any of the characters. Heck, I think Noah and Alena spent more time apart than they did together. Overall, I thought NOAH’S JOURNEY was a simple story and a nice enough read. We were treated to a monster epilogue where we got to catch up on all the couples from this series, as well as a teaser to Olivia’s story.
