Bishop: A True Lover's Story (True Lover's Stories Book 1)

All the hype about this story is true. A.E. Via's character building and story development shines from every page. The sexy times were sensitively written and enjoyable to read but what makes the whole experience of reading this book was the love between the main characters. I especially like the set up for the next book.

Bishop has to fight for his new life in this stunning book. Having just left prison, working for his Dad’s landscaping business it is an uphill battle, especially as he also battles his illiteracy.Edison works at the company Bishop is contracted to re-landscape. With his own insecurities about his weight and not feeling part of the team these two very different men try to find what their hearts and souls need from each other.Unfortunately a colleague of Edison’s has other ideas.The journey they make together is moving and inspiring, with the great characters you can grow to love that you expect from V A Via’s books.

I went into this not knowing what expect after reading some of the reviews asI have loved all of this author’s books especially the bounty hunter series. This is totally different, very slow burn and I can see where many may have been disappointed as it isnt as fast paced and full of bad boys as her previous books. I stuck to it though as I enjoyed the idea of Bishop getting a second chance at life and Edison deserving someone to love him and care for him after being bullied and laughed at his whole life. So, yes is different but I enjoyed it and the secondary characters (apart from Royce and Skylar)! I look forward to continuing their story in book 2!

I really don't know who the target readership is. Cetainly not me. In the real world these two would never get passed a handshake and thank you for your work.

As always A. E. Via writes with skill and sophistication. Her beautifully crafted stories pull you in and steal hours of your life. She has the ability to make you care about her characters in a way few achieve by giving them depth, humanity and authenticity. This new series is more ‘real’ than her others in that it you feel you could look the characters up online and find they are actual people.If you are new to her writing, do yourself a favour and read everything she’s written - you won’t regret it.

I'm a fan of the author and this story had all the feels from start to finish. I highly recommend giving it a go as it's fabulous.

This book took its time for the main characters to get really together but no page was wasted. Bishop is amazing and so is Edison who a sweet soul who touches everyone he meets. This story deserved the time the author gave it brilliant read couldn't out it down.

This book will make your knees totally melt. Bishop is beyond wonderful and Edison is one of the sweetest men out there. It was such a heartwarming story I couldn’t put it down. Will I be reading the next book, you better believe it
