"Romance, a little heat, a whole lot of angst, and a really sweet tale.” – Lisa Hines

Nick Johnson is a debonair millionaire. He has the world at his feet and everything he could ever want.

Then he meets Carlene Adams.

Carlene lives and works in a homeless shelter, and wants nothing more than to spend her life giving to others. When she meets Nick, the single kiss they share blurs the line that divides them and awakens desires she has shoved aside for years. Suddenly she wants more than what she believe she deserves. Unable to forget the man with the dimpled smile and electric emerald eyes, she embraces her second chance to live and love.

But a devastating secret stands in the way of their romance, a horrible truth that could destroy their fragile love before it even begins.

“His kiss was a whisper at first, as if he was testing me to see if I’d fight him. When I didn’t, he gently nibbled my lips and probed my tongue with his.”

Entangled Moments is a novella length story that packs a punch.

You won't be bored. Romance, a little heat, a whole lot of angst, and a really sweet tale...

When the novella ended, I found myself thinking "Nooo....I have to know what happens next!!" I don't know how I'll ever make it until the next installment

Now that's how you start a great series.

Oftentimes a free book that heralds the beginning of a continual story is just a shameless hook to ensnare customers and I don’t bother with the next book, because it usually leads to a pricy series of books that one has to buy if they wish to know what happens. That said, this was one story I simply had to hear more about and so I did buy the next book. I’m so glad I did, as the second book holds the conclusion and it’s a great one. No expensive serialisation here folks. In fact it was a bargain.

But back to Entangled Moments. Without giving anything away I’m going to tell you why I loved this book:

1) It was very well written and the author took the time to polish it before publishing. The writing was eloquent, the story never lagged.
2) The characters were well developed but still held some mystery.
3) Both Carlene and Nick were very likeable and I was immediately drawn to them.
4) This story was original and a very distinctive romance in a genera that is often all too formulaic. Seriously, WOW, I loved the freshness.
5) The protagonist did not need the hero to save her, she was doing that for herself.

All in all I would gladly recommend this story to anyone who loves a good romance with strong narrative and beautiful heart.

Cute Rags to "Riches" Love Story

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2014

Ok, I REALLY liked this little short story! I was kind of nervous about it. Never heard of the author or the book, but it was recommend to try and I am SO glad that I did.

So we meet Carlene, who at this time is living in a shelter that she also volunteers at. She had decided after her fiance died that she didn't deserve happiness as it was "her fault" that he passed. She meets a man in the church that she goes to every year on the anniversary of his death and meets a beautiful stranger. Sharing in one intimate moment without even knowing his name.

Nick was at the church, lighting a candle for his deceased brother. And instantly longs for this stranger he meets, but alas, they part ways.

This intimate moment gave Carlene knew hope and was determined to better her life. Things started going her way, with a new job, new apartment, things were starting to look up..for a little while...

This little story was quite the rags to "riches" story. I put riches in "" marks because Carlene's not rich per se, but she has bettered herself and tried to move on from the past. She's finally got her own apartment, a higher paying job and life is starting to get on track. I love these kinds of stories. Of course, life always throws you curves and it's how you react to those curves that shows your true nature.

Carlene is not a bad person, and though you never get the FULL story on what happened between her and her dead fiance, you only know that she's going to tell his brother everything, only he finds out before she has a chance to tell him and things blow up! I'll be interested to see how this story evolves!

I rated it 4 stars, mainly because I didn't think it was long enough! Isn't that awful! I loved her writing, I loved the story and I just wanted it to keep going! I will definitely be picking up book two at some point!

I really enjoyed the characters in this one. We start off with Carlene and Melisa 2 good friends that meet at their lowest points. While they are helping at the Oasis Shelter where they were once resident's, Melisa convinces Carlene to move on and start a new life for herself. Unsure if she can and with the reassurance that she is always welcome back she heads out for a fresh start. As she is struggling to make it work, an incident changes everything. Thrust into new things and a new lifestyle she might of finally found everything she has ever wanted. But as her past starts to catch up to her will she lose it all? I enjoyed the relationships and found it well written. I was definitely left with curiosity to know more about her past and was left needing more at the end being left with a HUGE cliff-hanger. The story-line moved at a good pace and I cannot wait to read the next!!!

quickly if the book took all that happened and it was twice as many pages it would go more smoothly. I like the authors writing style. Just think it was cut short.

Dori Levelle is a master of suspense foreshadowing mysterious circumstances surrounding her well-developed characters...

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2014

I just finished Dori Lavelle’s series, Moments in Time that consists of three individual novellas, Entangled Moments, Rekindled Moments and Bittersweet Moments.

Dori Levelle is a master of suspense foreshadowing mysterious circumstances surrounding her well-developed characters creating questions, until the reader is swept up in finding the answers. Although, perhaps 5% sexual explicit, these read more like romance or new adult genre that I would not consider erotica.

Dori delves into personal issues of depression brought on by guilt as a direct result of some very common social issues of adoption, manic depression, and alcoholism…Carlene has a secret that has her living in obscurity until she meets Nick a handsome stranger, who turns out to be a dashing debonair millionaire who brings her out of her shell but there lives are already connected…read to find out how…in Entangled Moments…Can't wait for her next book due out in July 2014...
