Lela’s Choice
By: Jennifer Raines

This is a wonderfully sweet romance book about being your own person. It also looks at staying your own person when you have to make choices. How important should family and tradition be? Is it worth giving up ourselves or our wants and desires. This book examines what happens when the main character decides to finally choose herself. This turns her life upside down, but maybe in the most unexpected way.
Lela is the main character and she is really interesting and well developed. She is approached by a man who swears that he works for her father. She doesn’t trust her father which means she also doesn’t trust the man. But they agree to work together to find her niece who has run off.
Hamish is a lawyer who is working to help find Lela’s niece. He is working for Lela’s father so he can ensure that his wishes are met. He is such an interesting character and adds a lot of depth to the story.
It doesn’t take long for Hamish and Lela to realize they are attracted to each other. This attraction leads them to begin to open up. But they both have reasons for not becoming involved.
One dangerous situation later and the two of them abandon their inhibitions.
This is such a fantastic story and I love that the author fully describes all of the settings. I am a sucker for a good book that takes place in Australia. This delivers on this with a great plot and chemistry that sizzles off the page.
