*** REVIEW *** BEHIND THE COMPUTER by F. L. Jacob



I’m Sawyer James, best-selling indie author.  There have been so many rumors going around about my model, Caleb Allen, and I that I can’t see straight.  So, instead of sitting back on my hands like I’m told I need to do, let it blow over, and kill everyone with kindness, I’m going to do what I do best, I’m going to write a book about our relationship. 
So here it is, our story.  The real story.
Now if you have anything to talk about, you can shove it because this is the truth. 
This is the story from behind the computer. 

 

This is the story of Sawyer James, author and her new cover model Caleb Allen.  Sawyer discovers Caleb at the gym and recognizes his cover appeal immediately.  Caleb takes Sawyer’s offer and is an instant success especially at a book signing that Sawyer invites him to attend.  Caleb like spending time with Sawyer and wants a relationship but Sawyer is already in a relationship with Zach.

This is a fun read with an interesting plot and characters.  Caleb is my favorite character.  He is often inappropriate with his actions and words.  He is a female magnet and player but he shows potential for a long term relationship.  He is funny and the character sets up some comedic exchanges with Sawyer.

There are some things don’t really click for me in Zach and Sawyer’s relationship and the reason for the rating.  I don’t understand Zach’s actions at all even with the explanation he gives near the end.  It is obvious these two are moving apart but I don’t understand the lack of communication even if it is only a few words.  How can anyone expect their significant other to know they are important when they brush one another off so easily? 

This is a very short standalone read that is fast paced and attention grabbing.  The story is told from Sawyer’s point of view so there isn’t any additional insight from the other characters.  It is a good book for a lazy afternoon.  There is a preview of the next book at the end of Zach’s story.  It will be interesting if he explains how he can profess his love but stand by and watch his relationship fall apart.

BARNES & NOBLE: Coming Soon!


I am a mommy of two, wife to an amazing man, and full-time employee. Life is crazy and busy! I started writing again during a darker time in my life in a group write in a Facebook group. They brought back my passion for writing that I haven’t felt since high school and helped me through hard times. 
Starting this process was tedious and nerve-wracking, but my amazing ladies and my fabulous husband have inspired me to take my love for writing to the next step.
My current books are Have I Told You, I Won't Give Up on You, A Very Merry Black Hollywood Christmas, and Give Me All of You, all part of the Black Hollywood Series.   Behind the Computer is a new standalone that is not part of the BH series.  It's a step outside of my comfort zone, but the story hit me like a ton of bricks so I went with it. 
Coming 2016, One in a Million. New Characters, New story, Standalone! More information coming soon.
