Book: Striving For Normal
Author: B.L. Mooney
Release
date: August 23, 2013
Synopsis:
The
most intimate relationship Drew Clayborn had with a man in the last four
years has been with her therapist. With a past that has left her broken and
scarred, she tries to piece herself back together enough to make it through
each day. Whether she’s ready or not, life brings her back among the living,
and Drew needs to learn quickly how to deal with her troubled past. When the
perfect opportunity presents itself to pursue her dream career, it also
provides Drew her first encounter with a compelling man since her devastating
breakup with the last one.
Dennis
Brooks is a nice guy her best friend thinks would be her perfect match. He’s
strong, honest, and sexy as hell, and he makes her smile in a way no one else
can. Drew feels safe and secure with him, but she isn’t certain he is strong enough
to handle Drew and give her what she thinks she needs in a relationship.
When
Drew’s demanding, controlling ex comes back to stake his claim on her, the
carefully crafted world she built for herself is turned upside down. Does she
need a powerful man like Carl to help her? Will Dennis step up and be the man
she needs? Or does she finally become strong enough to deal with her past on
her own? Who is the true hero in her quest of striving for normal?
My Review:
Striving for normal is one most emotional books out there..
It's sweet and deep..It's about the glow that love can offer and about the disaster it may bring..
Drew is remarkably strong..She survived events other people wouldn't.She experienced events that people shouldn't..And she came out stronger..
Dennis seemed like a mild person..It seemed like he didn't have a strong character..But,that was a huge misconception..It wasn't that he weren't strong.It was that he knew what Drew needed and he was strong enough to make her see it..She had experienced violence and tragedy and abuse..She needed a man who would be kind and loving,so that she could get rid of the darkness that she was surrounded with since Craig.
Carl..He is not a bad guy,not at all..I actually like him a lot..But I think he still needs time to recover from hiw wife's loss..
In fact,dear B.L.Mooney could you please write a book about Carl??..I believe he needs his HEA..
Striving for normal is deep and moving..I couldn't put it down..And I may have been quite teary on some moments...

Author Bio:
B.L. Mooney started writing when the voices and storylines
in her head ran out of room. They were getting too cramped and neither B.L.
nor the characters could take it anymore, so she did the only thing she could
do—she made room. She always knew she wanted to write, but vowed to make time
for it later. Now that she’s made time for writing, most everything else
falls to the wayside. That seems to suit the characters that keep popping up
just fine.
B.L.
lives in the Midwest and her other talents include in-demand cookies, a very
dry sense of humor, and stealth eavesdropping. Some mannerisms, attitudes, or
twists come from random sentences picked up while passing by strangers. So
speak up the next time you have something to gossip about. You never know, it
may just end up on the pages of the next book you read.
