Book Review: Sombra by Lelsie McAdam

Everything in moderation. Including virtue. 

I step off the plane in Madrid and meet his warm eyes. His crooked smile. His devastating charm. 
Worse, he’s courteous. Honorable. Sensuous. Impossibly attractive. 

Tavo awakens my desires—my body—without even touching it. 
I don’t want to be attracted to him. I’ve made my promises. 
My future has already been determined. I'm wearing a ring. 

But I can't control this pull to him. 
He wants to explore my shadows. 
I want to get out of the light. 

I shouldn't feel this way... 
Problem is, I can't restrain my heart.

Sombra is a poetically written story of self discovery. It's beautiful, heartfelt and filled with tearful moments. The story is set in the inspiring county of Spain, a perfect location for the exploration of the mind, body and soul. 

Kim Brown is finally getting the college experience, she's studying abroad in Spain. It's an opportunity for her to spread her wings and explore. Kim needs to get from under her boyfriend and parents influence. As it turns out there's a lot more to explore in Spain then just the language and culture. 

Gustavo 'Tavo' de la Guerra Cantor has found himself in a pickle.  He has been promised to a girl he does not love.  If he doesn't marry her his family loses their land, their business, their home.  If he had any intentions on marry her it all disappeared when he picked up Kim Brown for Iowa, EE.UU from the airport.

Sombra is an exploration of desire. A desire to find one's path in life and love. It's a beautiful romance that reveals that what is in the shadows is just as important as what is in the light. I loved Tavo and Kim's story! 5 Stars!
