His larger-than-life personality fascinates her, but also shakes the foundations of her quiet, introverted self, knocking her off-kilter.

When I first started to read this story, I was a bit worried about how well McAdam would be able to address all the themes she presented in this book. She introduces abuse, alcoholism, addiction, new starts, obesity, and self-loathing/self-love. There is love between two people and learning to love yourself. So many different things come together to create this story and McAdams does a pretty good job of presenting it all to her readers, giving them a story to dive head first into.
The Ground Beneath our Feet is a much deeper story than I anticipated. The author’s courage to address body image is a theme that I loved in this book. Watching Jessica learn to embrace who she is, is a broken and beautiful story. In a world with skewed beauty standards, it was heartfelt to read a tale about a woman who deals with those issues and her journey to learn to love herself. I know that this book is a love story between a man and a woman, but Jessica is the shining light. So many different people will be able to identify with her struggles, woman of every shape, culture, and lifestyle. There were moments when my heart ached for her struggles and other moments I would fist bump the air, knowing she was going to make it after all.
McAdam takes a love story and makes it great with her character development. The love between Jessica and Mickey is passionate and eye opening. Their journey together is rivaled by their journey to individual self discovery. The heart of this story is alive and fighting till the very last moment. Don’t miss it!

Romance novelist Lucy Figueroa lives a life of the imagination. While her stories are filled with fictional alpha male heroes, her real life is filled with nothing but Mr. Wrongs.

Lucy’s sexy new neighbor, Jake Slausen, looks like one of her characters come to life.

Damaged by his childhood, he’s ignored his true calling and goes through his days on autopilot…until he meets Lucy.
First drawn together by chemistry, then by a fierce need to protect each other even from themselves, will Jake and Lucy learn to accept their pasts or will they convince themselves that happily ever afters only exist in romance novels?
Leslie McAdam is a California girl who loves romance, Little Dude, and well-defined abs. She lives in a drafty old farmhouse on a small orange tree farm in Southern California with her husband and two small children. Leslie always encourages her kids to be themselves – even if it means letting her daughter wear leopard print from head to toe. An avid reader from a young age, she will always trade watching TV for reading a book, unless it’s Top Gear. Or football. Leslie is employed by day but spends her nights writing about the men you fantasize about. She’s unapologetically sarcastic and notoriously terrible at comma placement (that’s what editors are for!). Always up for a laugh, Leslie tries to see humor in all things. When she’s not in the writing cave you’ll find her fangirling over Beck, camping with her family, or mixing up oil paints to depict her love of outdoors on canvas.
