Borrowed by Delisa Lynn (Rafflecopter and Review)

*Review at bottom of post








Synopsis
Evan Martin was a country boy at heart with big dreams. He
grew up in a small town in Utah, playing football since middle school. He
thought his future with his girlfriend would be perfect, until she became
pregnant and ripped his heart out. Evan decided then he was never going to play
football again and he wanted as far away from Utah as possible.
Evan had always wanted to be a lawyer and decided to move to
New York City to attend NYU and pursue becoming a criminal lawyer. He never
wanted to look back at his past. The past that at one time was his future - his
everything.
Evan had plans to go through his college years being a
bachelor and playing the field. Little did he know that he would meet Lila
Carls and fall madly in love. The only problem was Lila was already in a
relationship.
Although Evan knew Lila was in love with another man, that
didn’t stop him from stealing her heart as well. He knew he could never have
all of her, but he wanted it all. After losing someone very close to him, he
decided to act on his feelings he had developed for an attached Lila. Even
though Lila had a boyfriend she acted on those feelings as well.
Once Lila breaks his heart after stringing him along and
borrowing his love, he thought he would never want or love anyone as much as he
did Lila. That was until a friend from his past Tatum Kelley walked back into
his life. He had known her all of his life and never once looked at her the way
he was now. Would she steal his heart and heal him again?
Years after Lila was married to another man and lived miles
away, she walked back into Evan’s life and that one night of love and lust
changes everything. Lila has a secret and it could ruin Evan’s future with
Tatum or only make it better.

Review
(3.5 out of 5 stars)

Let me start off by saying I loved the characters in Borrowed. They had a depth to them that many other books seem to lack. Evan goes through hell and back, multiple times, and it's impossible not to feel for him.
With that said, I felt like the story was on "Fast Forward". There were times when I had to reread a page because the writing flow was a little bit confusing and I felt like it was missing pieces.
I wanted to give Borrowed more stars because I loved the characters so much but the "Flow" of the book was lacking, so for that reason, I dropped it down to 3.5 stars.
I would love to read more by Delisa Lynn. She develops her characters wonderfully and drama is in no way lacking in Borrowed.
