Eva possesses a unique and powerful gift. But is it a curse? Never having known her father and having lost her mother when she was young, Eva believes she’s better off alone. She only connects deeply with animals, they are her first love. But another great love is on the horizon, along with other life-changing discoveries.

When they learn of her gift, the media jackals gather, and Eva is forced into the limelight she’s avoided all her life. Facing challenges at every turn, including her own inner demons, she must fight to protect, even embrace, her newfound ability.

But someone wants her dead.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book!!!

The book, “Eva” is a spectacular book. It is an especially fun read for summer days or in front of the fireplace in the winter. It is well written, inviting and engaging. This is one of those special books that keep you turning pages to find out what happens next whether it is to delve into the mystical connection with animals or humans or the relationship with a true “soul mate”. The journey into the realm of connectedness with the beyond, family and animals is mesmerizing. I LOVED this book and I should add that I consider myself a very discerning reader! For me, it was reminiscent of books such as “Woman on the Edge of Time” and “Mists of Avalon”. These books also present women who are strong, intelligent, and powerful. Thank you, Diane Solomon, for producing something that provides a beautiful escape and leaves you filled with inexplicable joy for a variety of reasons.

 
5.0 out of 5 stars Eva

I enjoyed reading Eva so much!! Her magical powers for healing animals was such a clever concept for a storyline. I love animals so to discover she had this power warmed my heart and I kept hoping it would help humans. So many things kept me interested and with the story being about a romance with the vet and Eva (when she finally lets down her guard) finally get together just wrapped everything up perfectly!! I would recommend Eva to anyone who likes something fun and loves animals to read this book. It’s a GREAT book for a summer read.

Great review for “Eva!” a riveting romantic suspense with a supernatural twist.

So thrilled at one of the first reviews coming in for my romantic suspense novel, Eva! Many thanks to Cindy White.

“Connection isn’t that what we are all searching for? Connection to family, to a lover, to animals, to nature. I love to read. Reading is one of my passions but I don’t often read a book that gives me actual chills. Eva gave me chills. Eva’s connection to animals and nature is foremost in her psyche, she has always wanted to help animals by being a veterinarian. Eva is calmed and centered by her connection to the ocean. Her mother planned to become a marine biologist and instilled in her a love for nature and animals. Tragically, her mother was taken from Eva when she was very young, raised by her great aunt, she has protected herself emotionally by letting few people into her life.

The writer speaks eloquently of grief, the memory of the emotion of grief and how that emotion can lead to the feeling of not belonging anywhere. Eva’s work at an animal shelter leads to an amazing discovery about herself and her abilities. The love of a good man, friends, newly discovered family and her amazing ability to connect help her to find herself and new confidence in her future. A truly wonderful book!”

Dii Bylo’s Goodreads Review:

“Should I laugh? Should I cry? Laugh until I cry? Diane Solomon’s 88 GUYS FOR COFFEE is proof that there IS light at the end of the tunnel of love and it is NOT an oncoming train! Grab a cup of coffee, wear your most comfy clothes and hang out the DO NOT DISTURB sign because this is a tale of the heart and soul of online dating for a woman who refused to believe that every prince is a frog in disguise.

This is Laura’s story, or rather her five year saga of looking for “Mr. Right for Me” after the coward she once thought of as her husband jumped ship like a thief in the night, stealing her self-respect, dignity, self-confidence and probably her favorite pan, (okay I just added the pan bit). This is the good, the bad and short and bald of false dating advertising, bait and switch pictures and the ones that got away, thank goodness!

Never tried online dating? Thinking about maybe giving it a go? Know someone, male or female who is thinking of looking for love or at least a decent person through the maze that is cyberspace? Read Diane Solomon’s88 GUYS FOR COFFEE first and feel, witness and learn, Grasshopper, because it may be a jungle out there, but our heroine, Laura has become a warrior in a world that can be terrifying and a guide to learning to love yourself first and the rest will fall in place when it is meant to.

Humorous, heartbreaking, eye-opening and filled with some truly wickedly funny scenes as lived and chronicled by Laura’s firsthand experience, Diane Solomon is sharing more than some wit and wisdom, she is sharing the kaleidoscope that is life, warts and all. It’s okay to feel horrified, mystified and justified for scoffing at online dating, just as it’s okay to maybe give it a try, then another try and maybe even another. It took our Laura 88 attempts, five years and gallons of coffee, gas and frog kisses, not to mention hours of her life she will never get back, but in the end, she found herself as much as she found her prince! Read it, laugh with it, roll with it, this is a sparkling gem for sure!”

I received this ARC edition from Diane Solomon in exchange for my honest review. (Okay, honestly, I read it almost month ago and have been waiting until closer to its release day!)
