“Love isn’t crazy. Love isn’t a degree of insanity. Love is sanity at its
purest. It forces your soul to make a rational choice—a choice to make another
person’s happiness your priority, to allow them access to your heart and soul.
Letting Ezra go was choosing to love him. Letting him go was the best way you
knew how to choose his joy over your own. I can see it in both of you. This
love isn’t one that will go down without a fight.”
Seven months is a long time to wait.
Ezra has three goals. There is no choice. He has to get better, for himself
and for Aysa.
Except, his best friend Roman has moved in in his absence. He’s given
Ezra’s girl a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, and a fighting chance at
winning her heart.
Aysa knows who her heart belongs to.
But loving Ezra is no easy task.
Ezra never promised simple, he only promised his heart.
Aysa has two paths in front of her, one carries peace and one carries a love
that never ends.
"You want to hide, baby?"
The blood rushes from my face. He was asking me so much more than just
about hiding.
"I can't. The cabinet is gone."
"You don't need a cabinet to hide. You know that. I'm yours for the
hiding. Hide with me."

DOVES FOR SALE is the second half of Ezra and Aysa's story. Will they be
able to find their way back to one another? Or will other obstacles keep them
from their happiness? Felix skillfully tells their story of struggle, hope and
love. Struggle to find their way back to one another. Hope that that the other
still feels the same. Love that has never, ever gone away…
I loved the new and improved Aysa that we get to see now. She has come so
far since we first met this shy, awkward girl. Now she is a bit fiercer and
coming out of her shell. Working on herself and her relationship with her
family, we are seeing so much more to her. I guess you can say the same about
Ezra. He was tortured in the first book. And now that he has gotten some “help”
we are seeing a whole different guy. I think readers are going to like what
they read!
I have mentioned in my review of SPARROWS FOR FREE that there wasn't a
whole lot of romance in that book. But it was exactly the amount the story
called for. Now DOVES FOR SALE is a different story. It screams for the romance
and romance is what we get. Felix is in her element when it comes to writing
romance. That chick knows exactly what she is doing and how to get it across as
sweetly and beautifully written as possible. And she delivered in this book.

"You still love me?"
His tone is pitiful. I wish he knew how deep my love ran. If only words
would do it justice.
"If I loved the mess you were then, what makes you think I wouldn't
love you now?"

One of my most favorite parts of the whole book was the Knox and Aysa
scenes. Aysa definitely keeps him on his toes and his prayer life steady. But you
can absolutely tell they are the bestest of friends when they are around one
another. Yes, I said bestest! Such fun those two are together. I never knew any
cool priests like Knox when I was growing up. We only had the old, crotchety
ones. But trust me…you are going to love them together.
My suggestion to you would be to drop whatever measly little book you are
reading at the moment and finish Ezra and Aysa’s story. You need to know if
they end up with one another. You need to live the romance. You need to see
what fun is hiding within these pages. All of this book is an absolute need! I
can promise you that. 5 Stars!
I only skimmed because I haven;t read the first book but it looks like something I would enjoy :)
