Marie Vasquez's Reviews > Cards of Love: The Sun

5+ Stars

I’ve read a few Stevie J Cole novels over the past couple of years and while I enjoyed each and every one of those love stories none of them have moved me as much this book did.

This story was as simplistic as any love story could be and that is what made this so GREAT. It’s a tale of two people that weathered through childhood, adolescence, bias, judgement and overbearing parents. And through it all their friendship only got stronger. Distance nor preconceived judgments could never hold a candle to the truest of loves and that is what Sunny and Elias shared.

Sunny was a character aptly named. Her personality and disposition was a full manifestation of the name she was given. Raised to be kind, caring and good that was who she was her entire life. And giving a foster boy from an undesirable family situation a hand in friendship was what she was raised to do. So she did just that. She became his sun and he, with his dark and broody persona, became her moon.

Elias and Sunny were total opposites, from their upbringing to their personalities, but they balanced each other in a way that no one could see or understand. As the years pass, so much gets in the way of them just being free to be together as friends or anything more. That level of friendship and their connection was bound to strengthen, evolve and become so much more and it did. It was inevitable.

I can’t even describe how I feel right now. I’m truly moved by the characters and their journey to getting the happily ever after they fought so hard for.

This was such a beautiful story!
