Reviews for Innocent Tears by Iris Blobel #Reading #MFRWAuthor @Cleanreads_

“Advice is what we ask for when we already 

know the answer, but wish we didn't.”

I am a big fan of Miss Blobel's work. I love her characters and get so into their lives and how that comes together and culminates in the end. I loved Flynn and his apprehension about having to be a new Dad to a child he had never met. Emma's involvement and her torment of having to chose the right man. Jack's dormant abusive behavior and Teresa indifference to Nadine, who by the way was a very endearing child. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and Kudos to its author!!

I loved the storyline of this book and really felt for the characters. Couldn't put it down which doesn't happen very often.

(amazon.com)

"Innocent Tears" by Iris Blobel was a wonderful well written novel that once you start reading it will be hard to put down. Definitely the 'six year old girl' Nadine stole this novel for me in her first appearance in the read. "When six year old Nadine peers over the reception counter of a big city hotel and tells the receptionist,My mum's dead, the reader's attention is immediately gained." Nadine's grandparents had been taking care of her but now wanted to give her to her biological father, Flynn who was a business lawyer in Melbourne and didn't know of his daughters' existence. Be ready for a lots of drama to come from all of this situation. The characters Emma, Flynn, Nadine, the grandparents and Jack are all well developed and colorful , and really comes to life giving you a well written storyline. This author really keeps the reader guessing about the romance between Flynn and Emma and you will see how this love story is between a man and his daughter will finally blossom all in this good read. Would I recommend this read? YES!

Becoming a parent can be daunting at the best of times, but for Flynn, a business lawyer in Melbourne, it almost pulls the feet from right underneath him. He’s become a father to six-year-old Nadine literally overnight! He had no idea about her existence, and the news throws him into chaos, even more so when he is asked to take over custody.

With the help of Emma, an employee at the hotel where Nadine and her grandparents are staying, and his parents, Flynn tries to do the right thing. Yet, the right thing in his eyes differs from his parents’, and Emma is voicing her opinion as well. And right in the middle is little Nadine, still grieving the loss of her mother and finding a wonderful friend in Emma. There’s no doubt she’s afraid where and with whom she will settle.

But in the end, it’s a letter Flynn receives that helps him figuring out what to do.

INNOCENT TEARS will be re-released mid-January.
It has enjoyed another full edit and an awesome new cover.

Here's another little snippet.

THANK YOU

“My Mum is dead.”

Somewhat startled by this statement, Emma peeked over the reception desk into beautiful green eyes that belonged to a cute little girl with brown curly hair and a freckled button nose. She couldn’t help but smile. There was something in the girl’s eyes that held a hint of mischief and curiosity, as well as some sadness, and Emma was drawn to her instantly.

“Nadine!”

The stern voice of an elderly woman approaching the reception caused Emma to flinch. The girl stiffened with eyes wide open.

“My apologies for that,” the woman said to Emma, though her expression didn’t actually reveal any signs of apologies. The woman’s face reflected a life of bitterness, the lines appearing deep and weathered.

Emma smiled. “No need to.”

An elderly man joined them, and after a brief nod of acknowledgment she asked, “May I help you?”

JOURNEY TO HER DREAMS was re-released early August and

THANK YOU

I've chosen a little snippet further along in the story. It's Christmas and "they" (don't want to give too much away) are attending the Christmas Eve service.

Enjoy :-)

As they all  listened to the sermon, Hollie glanced towards him and noticed his arms resting on his knees and his head facing down. Was he even listening? She watched his hands. There was something about them—strong, yet soft at the same time.

He wore a subtle diamond ring on one of his fingers and a silver watch around his wrist. She couldn’t help but stare and suddenly had a vision of these hands touching her, caressing her body, and taking her into an embrace. Hollie blushed and quickly turned her head. Feeling guilty, she tried to get her mind back to the minister’s words and the Christmas story he was telling.

“ ... in these days of Advent, may you have hope, trust, and faith. Open your hearts to your family, friends and those close to you.”

Open your hearts…hope, trust and faith—the words went through her mind, and she glanced at him again. Their eyes met as he turned towards her with a smile.

THANK YOU

The last couple of days had been an emotional roller coaster for her. Hollie wasn’t entirely sure whether she had overreacted or if Jeremy had, indeed, come on to her too fast. Fact was, she wasn’t ready to face him yet, because not only was she hurt, but embarrassed as well.

She felt Ben’s stare on her and sighed. Then she noticed his hand in a gesture of dismissal. “Girlfriend, don’t you worry about him. Davo will keep an eye on him.” He raised his eyebrows at her as he casually shrugged. “Honestly, I'm not sure what happened, but he’s not a bad guy. He came along to the cricket the other day. I thought he was okay.” Placing his arm around her, he added, “C’mon. Don’t let him ruin a beautiful day like this for you.”

Hollie choked back a laugh. “Jerk, you get along with everyone who plays cricket or footy and drinks beer.”

“Now, now, now. No need to be nasty.” He winked at her.

~~ I've moved forward a few lines. This is the afternoon after last week's dream ~~

After Hollie parked her car in a nice shady spot, she and Alex grabbed their bags. They spotted Ben coming towards them.

Hollie rolled her eyes—he was wearing bright orange and white board shorts, his dark brown AC/DC T-shirt, and well-worn sandals. She sometimes wondered how he could hold a job as primary teacher, but the kids loved him.

“Hello, mister,” Alex greeted him with a quick wave and a hint of flirt  in her voice.

He acknowledged the girls with kisses on their cheeks. “How’re things?”

“You’re early, considering you’ve had to come all the way from Devonport.”

With a boyish smile, he replied, “I stayed at Davo’s last night. I was supposed to stay at Mum and Dad’s, but that last beer was just one too many.”

“Doesn’t sound like you at all to have a beer too many.” Hollie handed him one of the bags for the barbeque and noticed Alex staring at him. She waved a hand in front of her face. “Hey, earth to Alex.”

Alex rolled her eyes and quickly grabbed one of the bags.

Ben moved a bit closer to Hollie. “Hey, just to let you know, Jeremy is here as well. He apologised to Davo all week, and the old man finally gave in and let him come when he promised to leave you be, or at least apologise to you,” he said quietly.

Hollie stood up straight. “You’re kidding me.” With a few words, her anticipation for the party dissolved in an instant. She swallowed her misery.

THANK YOU

 ~~Today's snippet is a bit longer, but I wanted to add the whole dream sequence

 otherwise it might be too confusing.~~

“Please don’t,” she begged as her body was trembling, almost shaking. She stared blindly at the windows, trying hard not to sob, as her throat tightened with each of his touches.

“Come on. Don’t be like that,” he replied, moving his lips past her ear and down her neck. His hand slid down her body and under her shirt.

“Please stop. I’m awfully tired.”

He stared at her and his mouth twitched. “Sweetheart, you’re always tired.”

Her efforts to push him away were ineffective. His tight grip around her waist didn’t give her much room to move out of his arms. She was helpless, as the more she denied him, the more relentless he became. She felt his hand in her hair at the back of her neck and he moved his head closer to hers. It sent shivers down her spine.

“I love you, sweetheart,” he said under his breath.

She could barely speak and her words sounded throaty. “Please,” she whispered, nearly sobbing. “Please don’t.”

He lowered his head, and she assumed that he would whisper something in her ear. She knew she was fighting in vain when he trailed caressing kisses along her neck with his mouth; he wouldn’t listen. With his body against hers, his breathing against her neck became heavier and stronger. Turning her head away from him, she closed her eyes and did her best to ignore the pain with each movement.

When she heard him under the shower, she slowly went into the guest room down the hallway, took a little teddy bear out of the bottom drawer in the cupboard, and sat on the bed. She cradled her friend as the tears streamed down her face.

Please, someone help me, please, she sobbed. Please, someone.

She heard him coming towards the room, and quickly wiped her face with a tissue and carefully placed her little teddy bear back into the rear of the drawer underneath her pink and yellow baby blanket.

“How about I prepare us a nice dinner?” he asked with contentment.

Her faint smile held a touch of sadness and pain. It was just as painful on her lips as what had just happened between them. Yet still she smiled. “Sounds good,” was all she was able to whisper.

Hollie woke up in a sweat—as usual. Her breathing was deep and fast as she cried and her body ached. What was this? Why did she keep dreaming of this woman? And who on earth was she?
