A Charm of Finches
Book 2 of the Venery series. Suanne Laqueur Release Date: November 1st, 2017 “I swear. Give me one more chance and I will make the most of it.” Ex-escort Javier Landes is asking for his third chance at love. The third time proves to be the charm when he meets an art therapist named Steffen Finch. What starts as casual deepens into a passionate relationship—everything Jav has ever wanted, and everything he fears losing. Stef’s business card reads Curator & Sailor. His creativity and insightful nature have made him into a talented therapist, the one to call for tough cases. His professional success can’t conceal a deep need to connect with someone, but Javier Landes is the last person Stef expected. Geronimo "Geno" Caan is Stef's most challenging case. To cope with his ordeal, he's allowed an alter-ego called Mos to make decisions, and now lives a double life within a web of lies. Under Stef’s navigation, Geno uses art to express what Mos forbids to be spoken aloud. But as Geno’s attachment to Stef gradually extends to Jav, the boundaries between professional and personal begin to blur. Over the course of a year, Jav, Stef and Geno form an unexpected and unconventional triangle, revealing how men make love in times of war and how love is a great wisdom made up of small understandings. The long-awaited second book of the Venery series, A Charm of Finches is an epic tale of survival and secrets guaranteed to make you think and feel and remember. 
This review is different from any other that I have ever written because this book is something extraordinary.
I read it on a long night flight from Los Angeles to Orlando. During those four and a half hours, Suanne completely devastated me with the horror and beauty of words. Each of her characters are the very bravest of warriors fighting the most gruesome of battles. Their delicately interwoven stories reach into the deepest black and then punch a hole right through to let the light shine through. “Did I lose you?” Jav said.
This book will transform you on a cellular level and leave you utterly consumed. If you read only one book this year, this is it. It’s a masterpiece that reflects the best and the worst of humanity and it reaffirms that life is still a very precious thing.
“Do you deserve a beautiful life?” Stef said.
Believe it...
