Behind Her Eyes

All it takes is one cold lie to ruin the recipe for a perfect love....

Five years ago, Abi was in culinary school and dreaming of working at Adley’s, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and for its equally delectable owner. Instead, she’s alone, broke, and out of friendly couches to sleep on. Her only direction…rock bottom.

Abi’s in a mess, but it’s her mess, and she plans to fix it. She just doesn’t know how—until, huddled and shivering in a doorway across from Adley’s, she sees the beautiful owner drop her purse. And returning it reaps an unexpected reward.

Behind Victoria Adley’s cool public persona and power suits is a woman in turmoil, a victim of tabloid lies that have thrown her for a loop. Accused of having an affair with a female employee, her family has fallen apart, and her business is suffering.

When Victoria offers temporary shelter to the homeless young woman who found and returned her dropped purse, she is irresistibly drawn to Abi’s kindness and warmth. Their instant attraction melts into something more, but they can’t pretend the real world doesn’t exist. While all the ingredients for a lasting love are there, putting them together isn’t so easy.

Because Victoria isn’t out.

And Abi can’t live a lie.

A Life Lived Well

The dynamics between Victoria and Abby are so beautiful that it draws you into their story. You find yourself rooting for them and their triumphs. Darrin should have had a good throttling but Victoria has a daughter with him and I can understand her way of handling things. The sweetest revenge is a life well lived. Bravo, Ms Tereze, Bravo!!

Behind Her Eyes

The thing about hitting rock bottom - the only other way is up! That's what happened with Abi. My heart just went out to her in the beginning. You could immediately tell that she was a good person who just had a string of bad luck. One little break is all she needed.

Enter Victoria Adley, who was having a bit of bad luck herself, having her reputation tarnished by the media. That didn't stop her from lending a hand to Abi, who so obviously needed it. It was exactly what Victoria had needed as well.

This story has the perfect romance recipe. Desire, chemistry, longing, tenderness, passion, intrigue, drama, and love. Melissa Tereze does it again!

Emma Griffiths was fantastic narrating!👏👏👏

Amazing!!!!

This book was simply amazing. There are a lot of ups and downs that keep the book very interesting. The narration was great too! I will definitely listen to this book again!!!

Very In Depth Characters With A Well Written Lesbian Romance

Really enjoyed the two main characters of this love story. The storyline was complex and idealistic, that keeps the audience engaged as the story evolves. The narrator was superb and very easy to listen to with a rapturous tone.

Angsty and steamy

It never fails, Melissa Tereze books always have me talking out loud with advice to the characters lol, begging them to just talk to each other when miscommunications arise. She is adept at creating angst and tension and then blessing us with hot and steamy scenes to make up for the roller coaster of emotions she evokes! Good story and loved the narration!
