Angelique's "Leveled Mind Confused Heart" explores the world of Adrienne Whitney, a country gal and college student. After a difficult long-distance relationship with her boyfriend Elliott, Adrienne meets Zephyr Johnson, a younger yet attractive college student. Together, they share passionate moments, and he shows her another world of culture, music, foods and styles. Adrienne falls in love with him; giving her herself and her heart. He gives her attention she lacked with Elliott. However, she soon discovers a secret which will destroy their love and friendship.
Follow Adrienne through her college years and heartaches. The author's purpose in this book is to realize how much her heart overrules her head when it comes to love and relationships with men. Throughout "Leveled Mind Confused Heart", Angelique shows us how Adrienne deals with studies in college, her ex-boyfriend Elliott and difficult break-ups with Zephyr. And when she meets Christian in a store, she is mesmerized and ready to fall in love again. But when Zephyr shows up at her graduation, she looks back on her love life and choices made.
This book is for the general reader looking a good contemporary fiction with a bit of romance. Angelique succeeds in describing the heroine's everyday life with her studies and love life. Also, the author's exploration of the college life and what an emotionally dependent person goes through is well done. Finally, in her book, the author shows us the complex connection and consequences between the heart and the mind and how one can overrule the other. My favorite part is when Adrienne finally realizes how much she had let her heart override her head when it came to her relationships with Elliott and Zephyr, and how Christian changed her life. "I was no longer a slave to love. One man helped me see that-the one man who's sitting right next to me. He told me that no person should allow themselves to be a prisoner of love. When one feels shackled, let love be the key."
The story is well-written. The loves scenes are very descriptive. The author does a good job in keeping the reader captivated from the beginning and the end is satisfying. The use of slang in dialogue is colorful and adds a touch of realism to the story. Although the story is well told, the abrupt time/setting changes without adequate transitions did distract me. Aside from that, the story flows and it suffused with some erotic scenes. Recommended.
