Welcome to my #ReviewTourStop for
Ever since I began writing and publishing books I’ve been on the run, always trying to write the next page, the next chapter, the next book. Every story was another journey, another discovery of what I could do and another evolution. All these years my motto was it doesn’t matter who I am or where I come from, but what I leave behind is. I thought I have it all figured out.
Socrates, one of the biggest philosophers to ever grace humanity once said, “I am talking a crock of s***.” I had no idea this expression dated hundreds of years ago and belongs to him, but who am I to argue with him? Needless to say, after some soul searching I realized my motto was a . . . pot of smelly stuff. I had a meltdown because, if you think about it, why would what I leave behind matter more than who I am here and now in this very moment? How will I ever know if what I left behind mattered with no way of seeing it? How am I gonna enjoy it? Think Socrates; does he know how much he touched humankind? Does he know people still remember him centuries later? And if he knows, does it make a difference?
I’m not sure. Frankly I doubt with all my heart it makes any difference to him. He’s gone, like I’ll be gone one day and instead of beating myself up to leave something behind me, I’m going to learn how to live here, now and totally enjoy it. No more worrying about tomorrow, but live today. No more five-year plans, but rather let the sun soak my skin, the air fill my lungs and the grass touch my feet. After all, I only live once.

Moving on doesn’t always have to mean goodbye.
Widowed makeup artist Jane Sullivan is more comfortable keeping her husband’s memory alive than dating a pool full of sharks. Ella, her 4 year-old daughter, is her whole world.
When Jane meets Lucas Oliver, famous cover model, it’s hate at first sight. His playboy persona rubs her the wrong way.
Accustomed to every woman fawning over him, Lucas is drawn to the shy, uncompromising single mom and completely melts at the sight of Ella. He is determined to convince Jane that sometimes a second chance can mend a broken heart.

** I RECEIVED AN ARC IN EXCHANGE OF AN HONEST REVIEW **
MTYJ is an standalone book written by Camelia -who is also in my new-authors list. She has made an splendid job with this story, when it comes to understand both main characters, their reasons to do what they do and everything, just magnificent.
Jane Sullivan and Lucas Oliver; Jane is a strong character, she is also shy somehow, plus she thinks everyone experiences love once in life, but she also thinks that when you already have had it then there is nothing. She may be wrong, anyways, her character has been through a very difficult lost -the love of her life/husband and father of her 4 year-old daughter died. Due to this she has decided that it is better if she does what she has to do and without complications that come with dating someone. But when she meets Lucas Oliver -so sexy- many feelings even ones she did not think she would ever feel again. Lucas has had his bunch of bad in this life, everything he is been through led him to see life in other perspective, one where he is definitely up for enjoying every day almost like there is no tomorrow. Both character are very appealing and they do immerse you more and more in their life.
ME TARZAN, TOU JANE is a lovely story which shows us that life and love has many different perspectives. Plus, to "live" again does not mean you will forget and you will let everyone in your past where they are. I really recommend this story for everyone. And Ella is so cuuuute!
