Book Review: Essence by Mackenzie Lucas

Reviewer: Terry

essence mackenize lucasI was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Essence is a story about 2 women overcoming their past to better their future. Haven and Sally open a spa and are achieving amazing success…and then they found out they are only have complete because they meet the men that complete them.  A romantic story about how love fixes the worst broken hearts.

The setting of the book was fun, I just traveled to Florida right before I started reading this book and I could picture so much of it through the authors writing. I love when I read about places I have been, it allows the story to be more real for me. It did leave me craving to travel back to Florida!

My favorite character in the book was Sally’s little boy, while most of the back ground character’s didn’t jump out to me, he did. I do wonder why there wasn’t a little more about the Uncle or involving the Uncle that traveled down to help them out. He seemed to be an important character in their lives, yet there was little written about his visit to the resort.

The story line was good, but it seemed a little too wrapped around these women needing the right men to make their life complete.
