Loyal Subjects by Eva Charles

Review by Elizabeth Loyal Subjects is the first book I have read by Eva Charles and I was left wanting more. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to smack people, and most of all I fell in love with Mark, Emmie, and Teddy. Ruth, not so much. Witch. Mark has to be one of the most patient men I have read about. He was understanding of Emmie and her past and Teddy. Heck, he even tolerates Ruth –that is a ducking chore. Emmie has had a rough life. After losing her husband years ago, she has started a new job and meets Mark. As the book progresses things do get a bit bumpy but believe me, the bumps are worth it. Ruth did get on my nerves quite a lot to the point to where I wish I could have shut her up myself. Although, after you get into the book a ways, you understand why she is the way she is but it still does not give her an excuse. Emmie and Mark have some sizzling chemistry and the sex between them is scorching. Emmie did go a bit overboard with her insecurities in my opinion. Yes, things happened to her but darn, it gave me quite the headache at times. Mark wants to be there for her, he falls for her and Teddy but she is very reluctant to let him in. Teddy is just the sweetest thing ever! I wish I could just hug him! Teddy speaks it like it is and does not let his mom come in between him and Mark. If you love all emotions, read this book. Seriously. It is just that good. **ARC provided by author for honest review**
