DRUM ROLL PLEASE!! BRACE YOURSELVES FOR THE COVER RE-REVEAL OF SIMPLICITY!! (to your left). Calamity and I were much excited to be a part of this amazing event. Simplicity is Valia Lind's first ever novel and it got a makeover (inside and out). The release date is sometime in April, but no official re-release date yet. When I first looked at the cover, I just saw the girl (I'm taking a wild guess that that is Alexis Sinclair) and the beach below her. Now that I look at it more closely you can see that they are both blended into each other, as if they are a part of each other. I need to mention how I LOVE the font. It fits in perfectly with the actual title of the book. I'm glad that the cover artist (which is the very talented Valia Lind! Yes, I know, That is AMAZING) did not try to over do it by making the font overly exaggerated. Although the font may be "simple", it's not boring.
Synopsis: Driven, beautiful Alexis Sinclair lives her life to the fullest, following her dreams of running a big company. But when her world is torn apart by a storm, everything she has ever known disappears. Now, marooned on an island with a group of men, Alexis must learn to live in a world made up of simple things. Letting go of every known convenience, she realizes how insignificant her life has become. Filled with unrequited love for her rescuer she must battle the demons buried deep inside and she must look within herself and to her faith to find the strength needed to survive. Strong and influential, Jacob Peterson, has done all he can to survive. When the fate turned its tables on him, he learned to cope with the inevitable. Plagued by his past and secrets buried there, Jacob exerts a rigid control, refusing to succumb to the joys, and torturous pain, of strong emotions. Without considering love-a gift he may never receive, he believes--he chooses to live by strict set of rules. But when a strange beautiful woman washes up on his beach, the walls that he has put up long ago begin to crumble. Is she a punishment sent from God to torment his weary soul? Or is she a gift, sent from above, there to teach him how to trust? Who is this woman? And how will he stop himself from losing his heart? Will he learn to forgive the past in order to save the woman he loves?
