“Live and Love Your Life, One adventure at a Time.”

Sawyer and Fin is the first book in The Adventurous Hearts Series by Zeia Jameson.
Finlay Kennedy (Fin) may appear to have a great life. Her life is quite routine- working as a softball coach, teaching at a karate studio, spending time with her family, or watching movies in her apartment. But this isn’t necessarily the life she wanted and wasn’t always how things were. She used to be an adventurous, adrenaline junkie who lived life to the fullest, until one night when tragedy struck- changing her life in an instant and leaving her with a lot of guilt. For the past two years since the tragedy, she has been seeking some type of redemption and forgiveness. Going out of her way to do good.
Sawyer, is the mysterious new guy in town. He was left with no choice but to leave his home, after making a very bad decision. He is keeping a low profile, with no choice but to follow the rules if he wants to stay alive. When Sawyer and Fin meet the sparks start to fly, but both are cautious of acting on their attraction. The past is controlling both their lives and neither of them is willing to share what happened. As they spend more time together, they can’t help but be drawn to the other more and more, and want to move forward into future with each other. Having to be careful kind of takes the fun out of things, so will the lure of adventure become too much for these two to resist? What happens when Sawyer’s past catches up with him, will he do whatever it takes to stay alive, even if it means leaving?
I had so many questions right from the beginning, and the author kept me hooked right till the end; divulging everything I needed to know along the way and giving me closure at the end. I did have a little trouble connecting with the characters to begin with- but that changed partway through the story. The characters were great and the author let them develop and grow as the story unfolded. Both of them were damaged and carrying a past that they were both desperately trying to reconcile and make right. They were relatable, believable and realistic.
Well worth the read!

Thank you Ms. Jameson!
