About this ebook

What if your soul mate had been right in front of you the whole time?


Justine Lancaster made every possible mistake in her disastrous marriage. After finally leaving her abusive ex-husband, she forges ahead, creating a new life with her daughter. Although she craves companionship, she wonders if she has the foundation to try dating after her traumatic past.


Police officer Gary Lincoln fell in love with Justine somewhere between the end of his divorce and the first time he showed up on her doorstep with a deep need to protect her from her husband. After silently loving her for years, he continues to watch over Justine and her daughter, knowing they deserve happiness…and understanding a woman as special as Justine deserves more than he can give.


As their friendship grows, Justine observes the desire simmering in Gary’s deep brown eyes and wonders why he holds back. Determined to find out, she discovers the secret Gary has been keeping and sets out to prove she’ll stop at nothing until both their passions are fulfilled.

If you love friends-to-lovers stories with a sweet, steamy, sometimes awkward, but oh-so-rewarding storyline, this book will rock your world.

Passions Fulfilled was an awesome book. I liked the originality of the story and the courage of the author to write about ED, something many people don’t like to discuss so frankly. I thought the issues of domestic violence, ED, and infertility were handled respectfully, sensitively, and realistically. I also liked that the MCs were a mature couple. The MCs were complex, yet realistic and relatable. I recommend this book.

Very emotional story. I was anticipating Gary & Justine's story because I'd read about his love for her, from a distance and she definitely needed a good man. I love that despite her history she connected with Gary and can still be bold. Gary is distraught emotionally and his predicament is heartfelt but I absolutely love how this came together, patiently worked through as they try to focus of each others needs and how selflessly they handle themselves when their love isn't an issue.

So back to Ardor Creek for Justine and Gary's story. We met them in Mark and Teresa's. Justine has been re-discovering herself after her divorce and everything that happened before that. She finds that she's extremely attracted to her friend, a town cop Gary. He's dealing with his own insecurities from his divorce and a tragic work event. Gary has also been attracted to Justine for years and adores her daughter too. Can they work through their insecurities together and navigate a path to happiness? There's plenty of laughter, passion, friendship, family, love and so much more throughout. Enjoy this emotional rollercoaster ride!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
