Love Is Relative Defining Love Series Book One edition by Haven Francis Contemporary Romance eBooks

Love is Relative by Haven Francis is the first in a series. I will be awaiting the second book quite impatiently. Haven has managed to create characters and events straight out of real live and make them totally believable. She created a series of characters among whom Danny and Emily are the main ones.
Emily has decided to run away from the commune her mother had brought her to three years ago. She forced Emily to leave her adored grandparents and their farm, her friends and neighbors, and most of all, her dearest friend Danny just as their relationship starts to take off. Charlie made it almost impossible for Emily to live there as just before they left, she shared the unwelcome news that Mike, Danny’s father, is in fact Emily’s father too. Not only does this change Emily’s life completely, it shatters Mike and Cora’s marriage. Cora leaves, Mike begins drinking again, and Danny is left to care for his father. Luckily they reconcile only to lose Cora in a car accident shortly after the reconciliation. Mike goes downhill fast with his drinking and Danny is left to care for the business, the house, and his younger brother Jason and sister Maddie. Danny goes wild for a while trying to run from his problems and his memory and love for Emily. Then Emily returns. How can she and Danny reconcile their love for each other with the possibility that they are half-siblings? Can Emily ever forgive Danny for the wild side of the road he took? Can they remain friends only? Can Emily return to school as if nothing has happened when the entire town knows about her “secret Father” and her love for Danny?
This was an excellent book although there are some grammatical errors that need to be fixed. Waiting until next year for the sequel will be difficult but maybe time will pass quickly.

Love Is Relative Defining Love Series Book One edition by Haven Francis Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

This quote came to mind while I was reading Love Is Relative.

“The heart is a strange beast and not ruled by logic.” Maria V. Snyder

Love has no bounds. It sneaks up at the worst possible moments, and can make you feel emotions you might not want to feel. If you understand what I’m saying then you will understand the struggle that unfolds in this story. If your one of the few out there that hasn’t experienced love… Well, this book may shock you)

I love Danny and Emily! Their love brought tears to my eyes, and I felt their pain and wished them happiness with every step they took to be together.

Emily is wonderful! She’s the kind of girl I could see myself hanging out with, and her grandfather reminded me of my own in a lot of ways. I’m glad she had her grandparents in her life because her mom is a total whack job.

Danny…I have a love/hate relationship towards him. In one way he’s the sweetest, kindest guy, and the way he takes care of his family is great. But he rubbed me the wrong way with a decision he made. I’m still mad and it’s been a couple of days since I’ve finished the book.

I loved this book and can’t wait to begin reading the second book, Love Is Absolute!!!
I really felt for the main characters, Emily and Danny. They had already started to fall for each other before they discovered there was a possibility they may be half brother and sister. Then they get torn apart when Emily's mother takes her away to live in a commune. Meanwhile, Danny's family is devastated by the possibility that Emily may be his half-sister. It means that his father cheated on his mother. Over the three years that Emily is gone, Danny's mother ends up dying, his father turns into an alcoholic, and he has to take care of his younger siblings. It is hard not to get lost in a romance that also involves dysfunctional families, especially when this romance is quite taboo.

When Emily returns home to live with her grandparents, the relationship between her and Danny grows even more complicated. I easily became swept up in their story, knowing that they wanted to be together, but they felt it was wrong. They weren't raised as siblings, and they had strong feelings for each other before they found out they might be related. How horrible would that be?

There was strong character development in this novel, and the characters' young ages really seemed to match their often impulsive and immature actions. There were some erotic scenes, and even though they were afraid to do too much in case they were related, they still managed to cross that inappropriate boundary line anyway (so they may as well have). I also loved the scene where they were kissing in the cave; the imagery was quite enchanting.

This was an easy and enjoyable read, and although there were some editing issues, I saw that the author had made editorial changes so I imagine they are probably fixed. Just as a warning, the ending will leave you a bit frustrated, and if you want to see what is going to happen, you'll have to read book two. I already have it on my to read list!
2 1/2 Stars!
I'm all over the board on this story. If I were to rate the first half of this book I would give it 4 stars. I love the best friend turned young love premise and I felt IT so strongly that I chose to overlook the potential incestuous relationship bit. No small feat!
About half way through the story I lost momentum because the tension was pivoting on this are they or aren't they brother and sister. It's pretty hard to make that tension grow and develop for the last half of the book, even when you add in some miscommunication, he said, she said moments.
Their chemistry was intense but their POV's started blending and I was annoyed with his best friend turning into a jerk AND then when we get to the end and it should be happily ever after we get some off-the-cuff cliffhanger.
I just don't see how this story can be stretched into another book.
