My Tales of Resilience series is about men and women who have struggled - with cancer, mental illness, bad life choices, immigration, and over concern and caring. All the tales end with happily every afters despite the difficult subject matter.  At present there are four completed stories out of five; Finding Peace, the first in the series, is completely professionally edited – developmental, line-edited, and proofread.

Finding Peace tells the tale of Lynn and Donovan. Struggling after the death of her husband and hindered by her inability to recover from cancer treatment, Lynn isn't expecting to find anything other than entertainment at an awards show. When she meets music exec Donovan Rue, there’s instant chemistry – and instant chaos.

Donovan faces lawsuits and complaints from disgruntled employees. Lynn’s fragile self-esteem and her recent personal tragedy make her leery of Donovan’s interest. As things heat up between them, their chemistry threatens to implode.

As outside tensions and pressures mount, Lynn breaks away, but Donovan refuses to give up on the strong, resilient woman he sees beneath the damage. Can these two people find peace?

This was certainly a tale of resilience as Lynn picks herself up time and time again and faces each challenge head on, never giving up.

Wow, not only having to battle cancer she has to grieve for her husband following a tragic accident. She is able to win her battle against cancer and start to live her life again, which leads into the path of music mogul Donovan. Donovan's life is fast paced and very much in the public eye. When he meets Lynn he immediately feels peace - she brings a peace into his world that he needs.

Lots of crazy in both their worlds in the form of music stars wanting their piece of Donovan any which way they can get it, exes making accusations in the time #metoo, and a completely unsympathetic boss whose behaviour is soul destroying.

Lynn is the star of the show in this book, remaining calm, patient, strong, graceful and gracious. She is the type of woman that we should all aspire to. What makes them perfect for each other is that she brings him peace and he cherishes her as she deserves.

Everything about this book was amazing - there is so much more that I loved about this book that I have not mentioned but there was not anything about this book that I didn't like. It all came together to create a beautiful story and journey that had me hooked and left me with a book hangover.

👇🏻
It has those “resilient” 4.5💫💫💫💫💛

👍🏻Author Adelyn Zara has done an amazing job with the background of the story, the plot and storyline🤩 The book is a romance novel for mature readers😍😋
👍🏻 The book talks about Lynn, who has faced more suffering than one should has to endure.
She is not a victim, she is a survivor but that doesn't lessen the pain. Eversince her long battle with breast cancer and losing her husband, Lynn finds it difficult to recover.
While everyone expects her to be cured on a timeline, her body is just not there!

Her instant chemistry with Donovan isn't something she expected. As things heat up between them, their chemistry threatens to implode.

As outside tensions and pressures mount, Lynn breaks away, but Donovan refuses to give up on the strong, resilient woman he sees beneath the damage. Can these two people find peace?

👍🏻 One of the Tales of Resilience, Finding Peace  features a woman who is Resilient 💞

⚠️ This story has mentions of breast cancer and mental illness subjects.
👍🏻My recommendation: If you want to read a wholesome story, this book is for you 🖤

This is a new author and the first in a series, and what a perfect beginning this is! Lynn is battling cancer when she is hit with another tragic event and that is the passing of her husband. When she attends an award’s show, she is just expecting to have an entertaining evening, but instead she meets must exec Donovan, and the attraction between them is intense and explosive. Donovan leads a hectic life, and when he is being pulled in so many different directions Lynn wants to take a step back, and he is just as determined to keep her close, as she bring peace to his soul. This is a beautifully written story which is emotional and a poignant love story which had be captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this author and I recommend this for all readers. This is certainly an author to look out for in the future!

Finding Peace is an emotional story which showcases some serious strength by our heroine. Lynn has not only tragically lost her husband, but she's also battling cancer, and I don't know about y'all but this kind of situation could bring me to my knees. Finally one night she comes face to face with Donovan at an awards show, and a new journey begins. Donovan is a music mogul who is going through a fire himself & he's not feeling very much peace until he meets Lynn, who quiets the noise & storms of his fast paced life working with music stars. Seriously, they're just what the doctor ordered for each of their lives, and it becomes so very beautiful to experience. This story is the type of story which pulls out all the extreme emotions like it was our own, so hit those one click buttons to experience all of the goodness yourselves! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

Donovan needs peace in his life and Lynn needs someone to be there for her.
She's been through hell and back again with cancer, difficulty recovering, and the sudden death of her husband. Donovan runs a music production company where some of his performers are less than kind to their fans, their co=workers, and each other.
When the two meet, she is reluctant, but he knows that he has found his Peace. They work through their horrendous bosses, difficult clients, and face down their children's questions about their parents' choices. There are still obstacles to overcome, but these resilient souls fight their way to peace and love.
