The Secret of Ella and Micha (Ella and Micha, #1)

by Jessica Sorensen

[Angie]

The Secret of Ella and Micha is a New Adult Romance that lies on the darker side of the spectrum. Eight months ago, Ella packed up and left everything and everyone behind. Now she's back and Micha doesn't even recognize her as the girl who left him on the bridge that night. That's because she's not. At least Ella pretends she's not that girl anymore, but being back home and around Micha is bringing that girl back out.

The story is told in alternating POV, which should give us the whole story. Unfortunately, Ella won't talk about what happened the night she left because she can't remember and Micha won't talk about it. This could be frustrating, but I think it adds an air of mystery and compelled me to keep reading. Both of them have some demons to face; Micha's absent father and Ella's mother's suicide. Neither of them have dealt with their personal issues on top of their unresolved romance.

Ella and Micha's chemistry is through the roof! The sexual tension is so thick, I thought I was going to choke on it. These two have some seriously steamy scenes when they're reunited. Even though Ella is trying to keep her walls up, Micha causes them to crumble little by little. It was also beyond frustrating because it's so obvious to everyone around them that they love each other, but Ella just keeps pushing him away. But when they do finally come together...woah! It's definitely hot!

This was my first book by Jessica Sorensen although I've had her on my radar for awhile now, and I was very impressed. Ella and Micha is a fast read, an emotional roller coaster, and will surely steam up your ereader!
