Once again Melanie Moreland enchants me with her words. She has one voice in contemporary romance that is not to be missed. My Image of You cocoons you tightly in their world that you never want to leave. Adam and Alex are beautifully complex characters that are delivered to the reader with equal parts of lust, humor, tenderness and love.

Adam is what I would refer to as an understated alpha. His persona is charming and captivating. He has a job that would make any adrenaline junkie jealous. And he passes that passion onto those he loves with evenly matched ferocity. As a reader, you can't help but feel as deeply as he does throughout the story.

Alex is a gorgeously written heroine who waters run deep. She has an inner strength that shines brighter as the story progresses. Although her glow may dim at times, it's finding that one that helps you glimmers all the time. With Adam, her character doesn't just twinkles but radiates. You don't feel sympathy, but empathy for this endearing heroine. You WANT her to have her HEA.

I would be remiss without mentioning the secondary characters. Ms Moreland never writes these characters as someone to move the story along . They are as necessary as the main characters need air to breathe. Elena again is one character I wish I knew in real life. She leaps off the page and into your heart.

If you are familiar with Melanie Moreland's writing, My Image of You is right up there with The Contract and Beneath The Scars as favorites of mine. If you are not, you will not be disappointed with this bewitching story. 5 out of 5 stars

I'll write this as quick as possible, because I want to re-read this amazing book!
I love Melanie Moreland's writing, from the moment I set eyes on one of her titles and it was love at first sight!

I didn't think any book could top The Contract.
But here we are, and My Image of You is the most loving, caring, dreamy book I've ever read.
My eyes are still puffy and my heart has been forever given away to Adam.
I didn't want it to end..I hoped for a second and third epilogue, so that I could continue reading through their lives!

It was such an emotional and touching read.
I laughed, I cried and I fell in love (for both of them, but maybe Adam a bit more!)(well not maybe... I certainly need to find me an Adam!)
You know that feeling when you meet for the first time your forever love? Your soulmate? That intense squeezy feeling in your chest, belly and sternum, that makes you want to burst and at the same time wishing that time stood still, so you could feel this feeling forever?
THAT'S what this book made me feel.

The story was wonderful. The plot twist...I didn't expect that tbh! Well done!
We got to really meet our characters. Fall in love with them, and feel what they felt. This was a strong write at its finest.


I only have to say my congrats to Melanie.
She did it again! I wish she'll never stop writing.

And I'm deeply grateful to be given the opportunity to read an early copy.
Thank you!

Great read
