I fell in love with Addison Moore's writing when I read Someone to Love. I was beyond thrilled when I was offered a copy of The Solitude of Passion for review. While there were many things I liked and didn't like, I'm glad I read it.
Lee Townsend married the man she loved. Less than a year in and he is sent in his brothers place to do construction work in China. He expected to be home in two week...
There were three main players in this story. Lee, Mitch, and Max. With Lee I found myself in a love/hate relationship. She was loving, sweet, and funny, but she also infuriated me with her indecisiveness. Mitch is the husband who goes to China. I wasn't his biggest fan and he acted like a petulant child. Max, on the other hand, is the shining star in my opinion. I immediately fell in love with his sweet, caring, saves-the-day demeanor. Yes, he had an ulterior motive, but either way he was the one to save the day.
The Solitude of Passion was an extremely long book. It was a great read with a well developed plot, but I found myself looking for distractions while reading. I sailed through the first 20% of the story only to find out I'd barely made any progress. The further I got the more restless I was because I got sick of Lee's indecisiveness and Mitch's "I'm the first, therefore, the only" mindset. While I found the story dragging on, I appreciated that it was told from each of their points-of-view. I loved that Max was understanding of Lee's decision and was still happy to be her rock. He was what pulled me through until the end.
Overall, The Solitude of Passion was well thought out, but left me restless and, at times, bored. If you are a fan of New Adult book and don't mind a love triangle, you'll more than likely enjoy this story.
