In My Mailbox #3

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren.  It's our opportunity to get a peek into what books everyone is receiving for review, borrowing from libraries, buying in bookshops and download onto eReaders. Let's see what's in my mailbox this week. :-)

I got the first one from the lovely Darian Wilk the other day and I'm very excited about it!

1. Love Unfinished by Darian Wilk
Publisher: Darian Wilk
Publication Date: October 2011
ISBN: 978-0-615-48405-1
Number of pages: 219
Category: Women's fiction

Synopsis:

Soul mates from the past leave their love unfinished when a tragic accident ends their lives on their wedding day.  Yet they are destined to meet again to fulfill that love in new incarnations, leading vastly different lives.

Emma thought she had chosen the right path, but too late does she realize her mistake as her husband reveals the monster behind his smile-morphing their fairytale image with loveless obligation.  Trapped in a broken marriage to a powerful, abusive husband, she knows this is not the life she was destined to live.  As her hope for love withers, she meets James, her love from a lifetime ago.

Emma cannot deny the love pulling her toward James, but courage to abandon her marriage wavers and unknowingly puts her love on the line.  If Emma has any hope of life and love, she must trust the bond with James and be with the man destiny has spent two lifetimes guiding her toward.  Are they fated to fulfill their love, or will they choose once again, to leave love unfinished?

It sounds very good and I can't wait to read it! I'll be reviewing it on my blog so keep an eye on Books, Biscuits & Tea. ;- ) Plus, if everything goes according to plan, Darian is stopping by for either a guest post or an interview pretty soon. Fingers crossed!
