Joana James (Author)

Book Description

Lies, betrayal and deceit. That’s what Daynia gets when all she really wants is her Romeo, someone to save her from the dead end she calls her life. When Richard rides in, she’s convinced that he’s the one and latches on, hanging on to him for dear life. If only…

Richard is haunted by his own past and finds Daynia to be a welcomed distraction. When ex-girlfriend Kayla returns to claim her beau, Richard is left with a decision that he is unwilling to make.

How much is a girl willing to take before she realizes that her dream Romeo is really a nightmare?

Editorial Reviews

Review

This is not your typical Christian romance of the characters living happy lives, meeting the person of his or her dreams, falling in love and beginning life together. These individuals have made choices that are going to impact their lives forever, and guilt, regret and betrayal are themes that appear again and again along with forgiveness and hope

4.0 out of 5 stars Fidelity in the Caribbean August 17, 2012

By Mary C. Findley

Format:Kindle Edition

This is the first book by Joana that I have read that really gives insight into the island of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean where she lives and the lifestyles of its people. I enjoyed her descriptions of the beautiful locations there, Sulfur Springs and the beaches. She also describes a serious storm, and that parallels the stormy relationship of Daynia and Richard.

This book is primarily about fidelity, which is what Shakespeare's Romeo was known for. He found the right girl and stuck to her to the bitter end. Daynia thinks she has found the perfect man. She thinks she's doing everything she can to make him happy and let him know she loves him. But keep in mind that they both have a history of broken relationships, and they just might not have learned the lessons from those sad and bitter times that they should have just yet.

I think the first half of the story is realistic but it seems to be heavy on the "troubles" aspects of the relationship. By contrast, there's very little detail about what both Daynia and Richard did to make things right. Even so, this story gives such important insight into the mindset of both men and women in the modern world of relationships. I have no doubt it will help many navigate the waters from a Christian perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breath of Life August 14, 2012

By Kim Justice

Format:Paperback

A triangle of Love. Have you ever been there? Well reading this book brought back some memories of my own past.

Living in what everyone calls the honeymoon destination in the world doesn't help Daynia get a fix on her own miserable past. Then falling for a man, Richard, who is trying to out run his own past really puts Daynia in the middle.

Author Joana James writes an awesome story of romance, heartache in a beautiful setting. The twists and turns keeps you rooting for Daynia. But then again how much more can one girl take.

Not going to give away any thing within these wonderful pages. Read for yourself and let it take you to another place where people work out their life's in an everyday world.

And for those reasons above I am giving Finding Romeo by Joana James a Breath of Life Rating of:

Five Clock Rating!!!!

Received the book for my honest review.
